Amazon's first leg of sea freight: Different products involve different customs clearance documents, and sellers need to prepare in advance. Generally speaking, the documents that need to be prepared include bills of lading, contracts, packing lists, invoices, etc. At the same time, compared with air freight, sea freight has lower costs and better cost performance, but it takes a long time.

It is a good choice for sellers who do not have too high requirements on transportation time and whose products will not be damaged by moisture.
