Before your shipment departs, it’s essential to ensure that every part of the process is properly coordinated.
A poorly managed booking, an incorrect Bill of Lading (BL), or a missing permit can lead to delays and unnecessary costs at destination.
At ComexPoint, we support importers from this critical stage — before departure, when the right decisions prevent wasted time and money.
Follow this checklist and discover how we help make your import clean, secure, and transparent from the very beginning.
1. Confirm the Shipping Booking
The booking is your reservation of space on the vessel or plane — the starting point of your international operation.
When you manage your booking with ComexPoint, you don’t just secure space for your cargo:
- You receive a complete cost projection for the entire shipment — from origin to your warehouse in Chile.
- You know exactly how much you’ll invest before the cargo sails, avoiding surprise charges upon arrival.
Every ComexPoint booking includes details on freight, insurance, port charges, and estimated customs clearance costs.
2. Review of Commercial Invoice and Packing List
Before shipping, ComexPoint validates your commercial documents with your supplier to ensure that all information matches and meets customs requirements:
- Detailed product descriptions
- Weights, volumes, and unit values
- Applied Incoterm
- Correct exporter and importer details
This pre-embarkation document review prevents errors that could cause customs holds or delays at destination.
3. Issuance of Bill of Lading (BL) or Air Waybill
The BL is the official document that certifies the transport and ownership of your cargo.
At ComexPoint, we ensure it is issued correctly and aligns with all commercial documentation.
Our team verifies that:
- The consignee is correctly named
- Container and port details are accurate
- Invoice and packing list references match
This guarantees a smooth customs release and full shipment traceability.
4. Management of Certificates and Special Permits
Each product type has its own regulatory requirements.
That’s why ComexPoint checks whether your cargo needs certificates of origin, SAG, ISP, or other authorizations, depending on its nature and country of origin.
Before quoting, we inform you of the necessary documentation to proceed with your import.
This proactive management helps prevent delays, inspections, and extra costs at destination.
5. Inclusion of International Cargo Insurance
Importing with ComexPoint means protecting your cargo at every stage.
Our team quotes and includes transport insurance as part of the same operation, ensuring coverage from the point of origin to your warehouse in Chile.
You’re not just shipping your goods — you’re shipping peace of mind.
6. Full Transparency: All Costs Before Departure
One of the greatest advantages of importing with ComexPoint is total cost transparency.
Once your booking is confirmed, you receive a detailed breakdown including:
- International freight
- Insurance
- Port and customs fees
- Estimated taxes
- Domestic transport
This allows you to calculate the real profitability of your import before your container even leaves port.
