We have a proactive and experienced team that inspects cargo upon arrival along with its documentation and issues a warehouse receipt, which we share with the client via email. This document includes final dimensions and weights, photos of the cargo, and attached original documentation. If we verify any characteristic of the cargo different from expected (e.g., damage, missing material, etc.), we immediately communicate with the clients.
Does Python coordinate shipments containing dangerous goods?
Yes, our team is certified and experienced with dangerous goods (air and ocean modes), both in physical handling and documentation.
