A unique CargoWise feature called Multi-Country Consolidation (MCC) enables freight forwarders to merge shipments coming from several nations into a single container or master shipment. This method improves operating efficiency, lowers freight costs, and makes the most use of container capacity. For international freight consolidators managing small-volume shipments from several vendors, MCC is extremely beneficial. MCC makes it possible to combine cargo from different nations into a single export procedure rather than sending partial loads separately, which streamlines the supply chain for global logistics companies.

CargoWise’s MCC module simplifies cross-border customs compliance, documentation, and planning. Users can link various country-specific house bills to a single master bill and administer them separately. By automating all origin-destination pairings and transit data, CargoWise lowers risk and delays. Complete cargo flow visibility, standardized paperwork, and effective communication between foreign branches or agents are all advantageous to freight forwarders. Multi-leg routing and coordinated scheduling are supported by MCC, guaranteeing prompt delivery and consolidation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the efficiency of logistics increased by MCC?

MCC consolidates small shipments from various nations into a single container, hence optimizing container consumption. This lowers the amount of incomplete shipments handled separately, minimizes wasted space, and lowers freight costs.

Does MCC apply exclusively to maritime freight?

No, although MCC is more frequently utilized for maritime freight, it can also be utilized for air and land transportation, contingent on the logistics plan. CargoWise's components can be configured to handle multi-modal MCC operations.

What function does MCC documentation assign to CargoWise?

The connection of several house bills from several nations under a single master bill is automated by CargoWise. It guarantees adherence to origin monitoring, customs declaration procedures, and international trade laws.

Is MCC applicable to both imports and exports?

Yes, both imports and exports are subject to MCC. Combined shipments from several nations can be sent to importers, and exporters can send out grouped shipments by using effective outbound consolidation.

Does MCC facilitate the clearing of customs?

Of course. MCC gives customs declarations precise categorization and visibility. CargoWise makes sure that every shipment keeps its country of origin data, which facilitates compliance and expedites clearance at ports of destination.
