 1. INTRODUCTION TO LOGISTICS

Logistics is a broad, far-reaching function which has a major impact on a society’s standard
of living. In a modern society, we have come to expect excellent logistics services, and tend to
notice logistics only when there is a problem.

The difficulty in shopping for food, clothing, and other items if logistics systems do
not conveniently bring all of those goods or items together in one place, such as a single store
or a mall.

The challenge in locating the proper size or style of an item if logistical systems do
not provide for a wide mix of products, colours, sizes, and styles through the assortment
process.

The frustration of going to store to purchase an advertised item, only to find out the
store’s shipment is late arriving.

There are only few of the issues for granted which illustrate how logistics touches many
facets of daily lives. Because of the magnitude of the impact of logistics on society and
individuals, a macro approach is taken to understand the logistics management.

Logistics is called by the many names, including the following:

Business logistics
 Distribution

Logistical management

Supply chain management

Supply management

What these terms have in common is that they deal with the management of the flow of
goods or materials from one point of origin to point of consumption, and in some cases even
to the point of disposal.

The Council of Logistics Management (CLM) describes logistics management as “The

process of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient, effective flow and storage of
goods, services, and related information from point of origin to the point of consumption for
the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.”

KEY LOGISTICS ACTIVITIES

Outlined below are the key activities required to facilitate the flow of a product from point of
origin to point of consumption. All of these activities, listed below, may be considered part of
the overall logistics process.
Customer service
Demand forecasting/planning
Inventory management
Logistics communication
Material handling
Order processing
Packaging
Plant and warehouse site selection
Procurement
Return goods handling
Traffic and transportation
Warehousing and storage
While all organization may not explicitly consider these activities to be part of logistics
activities, each activity affects the logistics process.
The operating responsibility of logistics is the geographical repositioning of raw
materials, work in process, and finished inventories where required at the lowest
cost possible. Logistics is practiced for ages since organized activity began. Without
logistics support no activity can be performed to meet defined goal. The current
challenge is to perform logistics scientifically in order to optimize benefits to the
organization. Logistics is a planning function of management. Logistics function is
concerned with taking products and services where they are needed and when they
are needed.

Figure shows how logistics activities drive total logistics costs

 2. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Customs House Agent

Customs House Agent (CHA) is a person who is licensed to act as an agent for
transaction of any business relating to the entry or departure of conveyances or the
import or export of goods at any Customs station.

CHA’s and Exporter

A domestic company can sell its products to foreign buyers directly , for that it is
established direct contact with foreign customers and ships the goods as per the
customer’s order’s and requirements. In this regard the exporting firm has the
following responsibilities concerning packing, documentation, shipment and credit
exchange. The CHA’s as per the instructions of the exporter can carry out these
activities.
In the field of export, there are several constraints risks, which come along with
its advantages for instance dispensability of the buyer, quality control, credit
facilities, international standards of production, product facilities special needs of
the countries, buyer nations etc, the transporters play a very vital role in clearing and
delivering the goods at buyer country. The export process itself is time bound
subject to regent’s schedules of production, transportation and delivering. Even the
smallest mistake in the chain of distribution will result jolting the exporters business.

The multi various contacts of CHA’s

After getting the proper approval from the exporter / client, CHA’s begins to carry
out his work. To remit a quality and efficient service to their clients CHA’s has to
maintain a good and regular relationship with shipping companies, airlines,
container operators, custom home, inland container depots(ICD),feeder vessel and
mother vessel operators, imported and latest amendments on custom formalities,
quota system all over the world.
When the CHA’s gets the order confirmation from the exporter, he contacts the
shipping companies which have sailing for the part to which goods have to be sent
and the look the required shipping space. The CHA’s is a specialist in this booking of
space, which is with the available time period in the shortest mode; with minimum
cost safely he books the space.

CHA’s and Custom

Shipping bill is to be filled by the CHA’s. The following details are required from
the exporter by the CHA’s
 I.E and R.B.I code of Exporter
 Invoice
 Packing list
 Order confirmation
 G.R form in duplicate
 Draw back claim
 A.R.4 form
 A.E.P.C Endorsement

The above mentioned documents are to accompany the shipping bill, when it is
filed in the export department of the custom house in triplicate. The shipping bill,
after registration is passed on to the approaching unit for scrutiny and assessment.
As for quote products are concern, like garments the scrutiny covey AEPC
Endorsement, value declared in shipping bill as well as the GR form. After scrutiny
the shipping bill is passed and the goods covered are allowed to be exported. After
that customs house retains the original copy of the shipping bill and GR form and
the duplicate copy of shipping bill is returned to the CHA’s.
Then the goods are presented for examination along with the shipping bills and
other documents to the docks where the vessel which is to carry the goods. If the
goods are found confirm to the details and specification declared in the shipping bill,
the appraiser gives the “Let Export Order”, on the basis of which the goods are
loaded under custom preventive supervision. After loading, the shipping company
issues the Mate’s Receipt” in the spot and later the negotiable document known as
“Bill of Lading”.

 Contributions of the Customs house Agents’ (ChAs) to the nAtion

Shipping has played a huge role in the Indian economy. Geographically, almost
half of India's border is covered with sea. Talking in terms of international trade, the
amount of trade done by land and air is very limited. Ninety percent of India's in
terms of volume and seventy seven percent in terms of value are carried by sea. This
shows the amount of India's dependence on shipping. The initial scenario where
India's balance of trade mostly showed higher imports as compared to the exports is
now changing. India's exports as compared to imports have increased to one
hundred and eight six percent in 2012-13 as compared to seventy five percent in
1990-91. In the year 2012 according to the reports of the WTO, India achieved sixty
percent growth rate in exports of merchandise goods which made it second highest
in the world.
Over 90 per cent of world trade is carried by the international shipping industry.
Without shipping the import and export of goods on the scale necessary for the
modern world would not be possible. There are around 50,000 merchant ships
trading internationally, transporting every kind of cargo. The world fleet is
registered in over 150 nations, and manned by over a million seafarers of virtually
every nationality. Ships are technically sophisticated, high value assets (larger hi-
tech vessels can cost over US$150 million to build), and the operation of merchant
ships generates an estimated annual income of over US$380 billion in freight rates,
representing about 5% of the total global economy.
For a country's economy, the transportation sector is often viewed as an important
barometer of growth. As more goods are consumed within a country, the
transportation sector must grow accordingly in order to accommodate the transport
of additional goods. And as the wheels of commerce turn with ever greater speed, so
does the volume of passenger traffic. As a corollary, the location of manufacturing
facilities and distribution centers can have a major impact on the growth of a
country's transportation sector and transportation infrastructure. The relative
location of these manufacturing facilities and distribution centers can dictate
whether the country becomes a hub within a logistics network or a spoke in the
wheel, serving in effect as a transit corridor. Such matters are of particular
importance to emerging economies where transport and logistics infrastructure is in
process of rapid development. If we look at the main drivers of Global Trade, they
are Profitability i.e. price difference amongst various markets, Risk Spread which
reduces the dependencies on one market, Uneven distribution of natural resources,
Difference in level of technologies wherein some countries have higher level of
technology and some have low, Difference in cost of production because at various
places various industrial inputs are comparatively cheaper e.g. labour, electricity,
technology, etc.
If we closely look at exports, a country exports a particular thing which it may
have naturally, for e.g. oil, or which it produces a lot for e.g. wheat, etc. But the more
a country exports, the more foreign income it gains especially in the case of
developing countries which increases its foreign reserves and ultimately resulting in
the country's more buying power and thus helping it to develop. Thus exports prove
to be a boon for a country.
 Custom Brokerage (CHA)
They offer efficient and expeditious custom clearance and delivery for both
Import and Export shipments. The service providers support the initiatives of Indian
Customs on its automation program. All the offices transmit documents to the
Customs computer server through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).

Purpose of the Study:

The Main Purpose of the study is to analyse Export and Import documentation. Its
uses to the customer, Agent Shipper, Customs and as to what documents are filled
for what purpose of exports or Imports and why are those documents so very
essential for the shipper as well as the consignee. And how does the agent and
Carrier profit out of a shipment, and what documents are maintained by them, and
which of them (documents) are issued to the consignee and shipper.

LIMITATIONS OF TRAINING:

individuality. It also helps to breed ideas for solving the problem in the organization.

5. MAJOR LEARNING
i. How to work in a professional organisation

Belonging to a professional organization like Monco , it helps me to establish

legitimacy; this is especially true for a trainee like me. Being a member of a
professional organization carries a degree of respectability when applying for jobs or
presenting credentials to potential clients.
Networking

Another benefit in belonging to Monco Logistics Pvt Ltd includes networking.

Attending events or functions in Merchant navy club helps me get to know
colleagues better, interact with competitors and build relationships with potential
mentors. At this event I got chance to chat about current trends, innovations and
upcoming trainings.
Training

Monco Logistics sponsored practical training that helped me to develop my career

skills. More importantly, volunteering for various responsibilities within the group
provided informal training and experience, plus the opportunity to work closely
with respected industry professionals.
Considerations

Belonging to Monco Logistics , they also provided rewarding experience as a

commission. It is for referring Monco Logistics Pvt Lmt to Magara Exporters.

Drawback/DEPB (duty entitled passbook) and several other export

benefits

iii. Export and import documentation

Export and Import documentation includes

 Bill of lading
 Shipping bill Filing
 Bill of entry for Import and Export
 CFS Clearance

 Billing of Lading
Bill of lading (BOL) is one of the most important documents in the shipping process.
To ship any goods, a bill of lading is required and acts as a receipt and a contract. A
completed BOL legally shows that the carrier has received the freight as described
and is obligated to deliver that freight in good condition to the consignee.

The information in the bill of lading is critical as it directs the actions of personnel all
along the route of the shipment - where it's going, the piece count, how it's billed,
and how it's to be handled on the dock and trailers. It could be on a prepaid or
collect basis.

The consignee has to check whether the shipment is collect on delivery which means
that the driver will collect the cost of the merchandise on delivery of the freight

 Shipping Bill filing

An exporter, while sending goods from one country to another has to go through
various formalities including submitting various applications, acquiring licenses,
paying duties and so on. To acquire a clearance for export, from the Customs, an
exporter will have to submit an application called the ‘shipping bill’. One cannot
load the goods unless the exporter files the shipping bill. The export may be by air,
vehicle, or vessel.
The goods can only be taken on board if the goods are accompanied by certain
documents as described below:

At seaport/ airport Shipping bill

At land customs station Bill of export

For goods transhipment Bill of transhipment.

A shipping bill is to be submitted electronically. However, the Principal

Commissioner or the Commissioner may grant an exemption and accept a physical
application, where an electronic submission is not feasible.

A shipping bill is to be submitted electronically. However, the Principal

Commissioner or the Commissioner may grant an exemption and accept a physical

Customs House Agents (CHA) license No. and Authorised Dealer Code No.
of the bank through which the export proceeds will be realised.
 A declaration in a specific format signed by the exporter or his authorised
CHA is to be submitted at the service centre along with a copy of the invoice
and the packing list.
 After the data entry is completed, a checklist will be generated and the same
is handed over to the exporter.
 The exporter verifies the data and intimates the service centre.
 Once the data is verified and corrected, it automatically gets processed.
 It will be assessed by the Assistant Commissioner (export) when the value of
such goods is more than Rs.10 lakhs, or it contains free samples worth more
than Rs.20,000 or if the drawback amount exceeds 1 lakh.
 After the processing is done, the exporter can check the status of the bill with
the service centre.
 Sometimes, queries might be raised to an exporter, who will have to file his
reply through the service centres.
 At the docks, all the original documents such as invoice, packing list etc. are
to be submitted by the exporter/CHA along with a checklist.
 If everything is in order, ‘Let Export Order’ will be issued by the proper
officer.
 Once the ‘Let Export Order’ is issued, the print out of the shipping bill gets
generated.
  Cargo Freight Station (CFS) Clearance
The clearance process is by opening the container in cargo freight station and by
giving the sample to examination officer. After the examination he will give the
examination report.

 Bill Of Entry
A declaration by an importer or exporter of the exact nature, precise quantity and
value of goods that have landed or are being shipped out. Prepared by a qualified
customs clerk or broker, it is examined by customs authorities for its accuracy and
conformity with the tariff and regulations. See also customs entry.

vi. Coordination with third party logistics on domestic shipments

For Domestic Shipments , we will coordinate with third party logistics company
such as DHL , DTDC , NTC logistics , Agility logistics. Because these companies
have shipments all over India. So it is cost effective , if we coordinate with these
third party logistics companies.

v. Coordinating with transporters ,Importers, Customs and other

external agencies for ensuring timely clearances and cost effective
transport solutions.
Export-import procedures are very complex and time-consuming. Therefore, every
exporter should avail the services of Clearing and Forwarding (C&F) agent who are
expert and well versed with the customs and shipment procedures. For smooth and
timely shipment of goods, the exporter must appoint a competent C&F agent who is
able to, inter alia, provide the following services:

Essential Services:
(a) Transportation of goods to docks and arrangement of warehousing at port.

(b) Warehousing facilities before the goods are transported to docks.

(c) Booking of shipping space or air freighting and advice on relative cost of sending
goods by sea and air.

(d) Arrangement for loading of goods on board.

(e) Equipped with information on shipping lines and freight to different

destinations, and various charges payable by exporters.
(f) Obtaining marine insurance policies.

(g) Preparation and processing of shipping documents, Bills of Lading, Dock

Receipt, Export Declarations, Consular Invoice, Certificate of Origin, etc.
(h) Forwarding of banking collection papers.

Desirable Services:

(a) Storage facilities abroad, at least in major international markets, to warehouse the
goods in case importer refuses to take delivery on any account.

(b) Can trace the goods, if shipment goes astray, through his international
connections.

(c) Arrangement for assessing the damage to shipment enroute.

6. Freight Forwarding
A freight forwarder, forwarder, or forwarding agent, also known as a non-vessel
operating common carrier (NVOCC), is a person or company that organizes
shipments for individuals or corporations to get goods from the manufacturer or
producer to a market, customer or final point of distribution.[1]Forwarders contract
with a carrier or often multiple carriers to move the goods. A forwarder does not
move the goods but acts as an expert in the logistics network. These carriers can use
a variety of shipping modes, including ships, airplanes, trucks, and railroads, and
often do utilize multiple modes for a single shipment. For example, the freight
forwarder may arrange to have cargo moved from a plant to an airport by truck,
flown to the destination city, then moved from the airport to a customer's building
by another truck.
International freight forwarders typically handle international shipments and have
additional expertise in preparing and processing customs documentation and
performing activities pertaining to international shipments.

Information typically reviewed by a freight forwarder includes the commercial

invoice, shipper's export declaration, bill of lading and other documents required by
the carrier or country of export, import, and/or transshipment. Much of this
information is now processed in a paperless environment.
The FIATA shorthand description of the freight forwarder as the "Architect of
Transport" illustrates the commercial position of the forwarder relative to its client.
In Europe,[2] some forwarders specialize in "niche" areas such as rail-freight, and
collection and deliveries around a large port.

Conclusion
This summer internship helps to learn more about logistics , especially about
Customs house agency’s duties. A Customs house agency is required to clear goods
for import or export only against specific authorization from the principal and must
produce it whenever required by the Deputy/Assistant Commissioner. Also CHA's
duty is to prepare Bill of entry and Shipping bill and also we do Procedures for
assessment and payment of duty , after that we helps clearance of goods from
Customs freight station. In CHA we also do the conversion of currency from foreign
shippers. It was a great experience working in a professional logistics company like
Monco logistics. Several parties and functions helps to socialize with lot of people in
logistics field.

But also the drawback is Chennai office's infrastructure is not good as Cochin’s
office and also the workers in Chennai warehouse has not have much experience.
Monco logistics offers a good platform to beginners to expertise in this field.
