Evergreen Freight Booking & Bureau of Customs Export Workflow
Standardized operational sequence for booking container slots, securing equipment, passing customs clearance, and generating Master Bills of Lading.
GreenX Spot Booking
Submit shipment details, container type, and destination port on the GreenX platform. Receive guaranteed slot allocation and instant booking confirmation number (B/K No.).
Empty Container Pullout
Present Equipment Interchange Receipt (EIR) at the designated Evergreen container depot (Manila, Laguna, or Davao). Inspect container floor, walls, and rubber door seals before stuffing.
Stuffing & BOC E-TRACC
Pack master cartons with desiccant protection. Affix high-security ISO/PAS 17712 bolt seal and arm Electronic Tracking of Containerized Cargo (E-TRACC) GPS device if required by BOC.
Port Gate-in & B/L Issuance
Deliver stuffed container to terminal prior to vessel cut-off. Submit verified gross mass (VGM) and shipping instructions to generate the ocean Master Bill of Lading (MBL).
Textile & Garment Container Packing Protocols
Best practices for loading apparel, sportswear, polo shirts, and knitwear to prevent moisture condensation, mold growth, and transit carton crushing.
Moisture & Humidity Control
Ocean voyages through equatorial zones experience severe diurnal temperature fluctuations causing "container rain". Install hanging calcium chloride desiccant bags (2kg units) along container top rails to maintain internal relative humidity below 60%.
Carton Stacking & Pallet Integrity
Use double-wall corrugated export cartons (minimum 200# Mullen burst strength). Stack in columnar patterns on heat-treated ISPM-15 wooden pallets or heavy-duty plastic slipsheets. Stretch-wrap with UV-resistant film.
Preferential Origin Documentation
Ensure commercial invoices include required origin declarations, such as ASEAN ATIGA Form D for zero-tariff Southeast Asian delivery or EU GSP+ REX self-certification numbers for European duty exemption.
