Shipper / Exporter - South Africa

What does Shipper / Exporter mean?

A shipper, often synonymous with exporter in international logistics, is the party responsible for preparing, packaging, and delivering goods for transport. In the case of CH Logistics, our shipper clients are typically South African fruit growers and exporters who rely on us for expert guidance on compliance, cold chain management, and international documentation. We support shippers by coordinating collection, pre-cooling, storage, and transport, ensuring all responsibilities are clearly outlined in shipping contracts, Incoterms, and bills of lading. Our team also manages shipper’s liability until the agreed transfer point, minimizing risk and ensuring smooth, efficient handover to carriers or consignees. For exporters, working with CH Logistics means access to world-class logistics expertise, streamlined operations, and peace of mind that their products will arrive safely and on time.
