CHINA WAREHOUSE
How to Consolidate Goods From Multiple Chinese Suppliers
What must happen between supplier delivery and one controlled LCL or FCL shipment.
1. Create one receiving reference
Every supplier should deliver against a buyer, order and supplier reference so the warehouse can identify the cargo.
2. Record what arrived
Record delivery date, carton count, shipping marks and visible outer-packaging condition. Receiving is not automatically a full inspection.
3. Report exceptions
Shortages, damage, mixed marks and unidentified cargo should be recorded before consolidation rather than discovered during loading.
4. Confirm repacking and inspection
Opening sealed cartons, quantity checks, repacking and disposal require a defined scope and buyer instruction.
5. Build the shipment file
The consolidation list, packing list, loading record, container and seal evidence connect multiple supplier deliveries to one shipment.
