When it comes to international shipping, understanding the intricacies of documentation is crucial for the smooth transfer of goods across borders. Among these essential documents is the FedEx Shipper’s Letter of Instruction (SLI), a comprehensive form that serves as a critical communication tool between the shipper and FedEx, facilitating the export of goods. This form outlines the terms of sale, such as EXW (Ex Works) and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), specifying the responsibilities of shippers in terms of freight charges, transportation expenses, and customs duties. It also details the FedEx Trade Networks Ocean Transport Service, highlighting the partnership with FedEx Freight for domestic transportation within the U.S., and underscores the importance of correctly classifying, packaging, marking, and labeling shipments in compliance with regulatory requirements. The SLI further emphasizes the need for the shipper to provide accurate and detailed information about the shipment, including the nature of the goods, packaging, and emergency contact details. It offers options for freight charge billing and indicates procedures for shipments that include hazardous materials, underscoring the significance of safety in transportation. By navigating the stipulations set forth in the FedEx SLI, shippers ensure their consignments are handled efficiently and in accordance with legal and regulatory standards, paving the way for a seamless export process.
