How to Track International Cargo Transportation
Cargo tracking is an important part of international transportation, helping shippers and consignees grasp the dynamics of goods in real-time. Different transportation modes have different tracking methods: for sea freight, you can track through the shipping company’s official website using the bill of lading number, which can query information such as the departure time, arrival time, and current location of the ship. For air freight, use the air waybill number to track on the airline’s website or the logistics provider’s platform, which can show the flight information, customs clearance status, and delivery progress. International express companies have professional tracking systems. Enter the tracking number on their official websites or APPs to get detailed transportation information, including pickup, transit, customs clearance, and delivery. In addition, some third-party logistics platforms integrate tracking functions of multiple carriers, allowing users to track goods from different companies in one place. When tracking, pay attention to key nodes such as departure, arrival at the port, and customs clearance. If the goods are delayed or the tracking information is abnormal, contact the logistics provider in time to inquire.
