Foreign trade from scratch — on your own
Kardinal Group CEO Kirill Asomchik wrote “White Foreign Trade from Scratch” for those who want to understand imports themselves: suppliers, payments, documents, routes and customs.
Documents in advance
A compliant delivery starts before the cargo moves: with checks of the invoice, packing list, contract, HS code and product requirements.
- Fewer surprises at customs.
- A clear history of the goods’ origin.
- Documents can be used for accounting and inspections.
Customs without chaos
Official clearance lets you know in advance which duties, permits and requirements may apply to the cargo.
- HS code selection.
- Non-tariff regulation checks.
- Release support and work with customs.
Payments and supplier
Financial logistics is tied to purchasing and delivery: who we pay, what for and which documents confirm the deal.
- Payment to suppliers in China.
- Contract framework for the supply.
- Link between payment, goods and documents.
A route for the task
White logistics does not mean one expensive route. The scheme is chosen by timing, budget, goods and risks.
- Sea, rail, road, air and multimodal schemes.
- Several calculated options.
- Cargo control at every stage.
Risks before shipping
The main mistake is learning about a problem when the cargo is already on its way. The white approach moves risk checks to the start.
- Customs value adjustment risk assessment.
- Permit document checks.
- Assessment of complex and sanctioned cargo.
Control and peace of mind
The client gets a managed system, not just transport: documents, route, timing, responsibility and a clear status.
- One operator for the whole chain.
- Information support.
- Clear communication with your manager.
Team
Behind every route, declaration and delivery is a team of specialists who take responsibility for the result.
