When the request comes in for Aquaboxes to be sent overseas, the appropriate mode of transport is determined based on the quantity and the urgency required. I will source quotes to obtain the best service for price and engage an agent in the destination country to assist with the clearance and distribution to a local Rotary Club. In the case of shipping a full container, the container freight rates are obtained and a booking is made with the shipping line. An empty shipping container is collected and sent to the Rotary shed in Eltham for packing then taken for weighing and loading onto a vessel. The necessary export customs clearance is obtained and the documents are created and sent to the destination agent. The container is tracked during shipping and the clearance process monitored until the delivery of the boxes into the receiving store. All in all, quite a complex process!
