RecordsForwarding ShipmentsA house bill under a master bill. A forwarder makes its money on the spread between what it buys at and what it sells at, so buy and sell are two columns rather than one.OpenRecordsContainersThe box itself. A container without a verified gross mass does not get loaded, which is why that is a column rather than a note.OpenRecordsCustoms DeclarationsThe customs entry, held as its own document because it has its own number, its own dates, its own duty and its own way of going wrong.OpenRecordsFreight ChargesThe priced detail: linehaul, fuel, each accessorial, on its own line. Both what it was bought at and what it is sold at, because the difference is the whole business model of a forwarder.Open
