## Questions

### Do you handle both imports and exports?

Yes. Ocean and air freight for imports and exports, with door-to-door support when the shipment needs it.

### Do you handle FCL and LCL?

Yes. Ocean freight covers full container loads (FCL) and shared, less-than-container loads (LCL), for imports and exports, with door-to-door delivery when the shipment needs it.

### Can you clear customs for my shipment?

Yes. Customs clearance and CHA services cover the documentation, compliance and coordination with every party, connected to the forwarding leg before it and the CFS and transport legs after it.

### What happens at the CFS?

Containers are stuffed or de-stuffed, cargo is handled and the documentation is coordinated with customs and transport, so the truck is ready when the container is released.

### How do I see where my shipment is?

On moWe: the vessel is tracked 24×7, the container through RFID tracking in India's logistics ecosystem, and the truck that follows like every other Wheelson shipment.

### How do you keep demurrage down?

Free days are watched on moWe from the moment the vessel berths. The Planning Agent flags a container whose free days are running out with no truck assigned, so pickup is arranged before demurrage starts.

### What is the difference between a CFS and an ICD?

A CFS (container freight station) sits near a port and handles stuffing, de-stuffing and storage of cargo before export or after import. An ICD (inland container depot) is a dry port inland, where containers are cleared by customs and moved to and from the seaport by road or rail.

### Which Incoterms® rule should I use?

It depends on how much of the journey each side wants to control and insure. FCA and FOB leave the main freight to the buyer, CIF and CIP have the seller pay freight and insurance, and DAP and DDP have the seller deliver to the buyer's door. Agree the rule and the named place in your contract; our team can advise on the freight side.

### Do you move the cargo after the port?

Yes. Wheelson transportation takes it on as full truckload or part truckload, and warehousing and 3PL can hold it, all run by the same extended team.
