Our export procedures

Sebi follows clear procedures when undertaking export services. Only a freight company that combines flexibility, punctuality and accuracy is able to tackle the many difficulties that arise daily in this sector.

• Our flexibility allows us to adapt to any customer request as well as to the contingencies and particular features of each country where goods are being sent, and the relevant customs requirements.
• Punctuality and on-time delivery provide real savings for our customers.
• We put in place thorough checks, verifications, and documentation production and traceability processes for all export stages.

All of these aspects allow Sebi to give its customers absolute control at all stages of the complex process of moving goods around the world.

Exporting goods: the process

Exporting goods from Italy to other countries entails various shipping procedures that all companies must follow. What are the key stages of this process and how many are there? Below is a list of key points that our freight company has put together for all companies in search of a reliable partner for the import-export sector.

• Companies requiring shipping services contact Sebi, indicating the number of packages, weight, destination and delivery timescale.
• Sebi, in turn, contacts its correspondent at the destination (we boast a worldwide partner network).
• The operator handles the request and, depending on the destination specified, suggests the best service (for freight method, speed and overall cost).
• Suggesting two or three different types of service is always useful, defined specifically to meet the customer's needs.
• The client assesses the offer and if they accept it, they send the shipping order.
• If goods are to be collected from the sender, Sebi will arrange the carriage and transfer of the goods to its warehouse.
• The required documentation is issued, and goods are taken to the airport. The shipment is safe as goods travelling by air are X-rayed.
• All documentation produced is sent to the destination, ready for the formal procedures when the goods arrive.
