Operational Workflow: From Gate-In to Outbound Clearance
Every shipment undergoing storage at UKF follows a standardized, ISO-aligned operating process to maintain complete chain-of-custody security:
1. Pre-Advice & Customs Documentation Verification
Before cargo arrival, our licensed customs brokers review commercial invoices, packing lists, bill of ladings, and certificates of origin to verify HS Code classifications and clearance permits.
2. Inbound Receiving & Quality Inspection
Consignments are offloaded under 24/7 CCTV surveillance. Comprehensive outer-carton condition checks, weight verification, and piece counts are executed prior to rack placement.
3. System Logging & Stock Racking
Each unit is tagged with unique barcode identifiers within our WMS, placing items into dedicated ambient, chilled, or bonded rack positions.
4. Outbound Order Processing & GCC Dispatch
Upon order release, items are picked, customized with required regional labeling, released through customs portals, and loaded onto certified transport vehicles.
