I think it’s really important to improve our shipping work with TSK.
This morning I just found some coils ready last week, like 0.376mm which TSK requires urgently, but the L/C isn’t ready yet.
We must ask Noe to issue PI, waiting the L/C confirmation from bank, by this way we may miss many chance to catch the earliest vessel.
After our meeting last week, here we would make proposal again:
1. CSGT must provide sales contract and Performa Invoice, once the order be input every month.
(I’m surprised that I heard CSGT didn’t provide the sales contract to TSK!!!???)
2. TSK to issue the L/C once receive the PI, the quantity follows “order quantity”, +/- 10% shipping allowance.
3. The description of goods to be shown as, for example:
GALVANIZED STEEL SHEET IN COIL
SGCC, SGCD1, SGCD2
CIF BANGKOK THAILAND
AS PER SALES CONTRACT ET9508A~E
4. After CSGT confirmed the L/C, then all we have to do is waiting for the coils to be completed.
Since the L/C is ready there, CSGT can arrange the shipment immediately, it helps a lot to catch the earliest vessel, or even arrange urgent container shipment.
We can save time in opening P/I again, your and Banks’ and CSGT’s internal process…
Please consider again, we hope to try this new way for Sep shipment order.
We’ll prepare some data to discuss with you again.
Here’s the sample from NSSBCT’s L/C, just for your reference:
