Shipment Advice

What is Shipment Advice in Export Import Business?

Shipment Advice is a formal notification provided by exporters to buyers, informing them about the details of the shipment being dispatched. It includes essential information such as vessel details, expected times of departure and arrival, invoice details, and particulars of shipped goods. This ensures transparency, timely updates, and smooth coordination between exporters and importers.
