For a COC container, a signed agreement with Milestone Agency LLC is required.

Ensure a power of attorney from the consignee in favor of the freight forwarder has been provided.

Coordinate with the shipper to ensure timely issuance of the telex release / submission of the original Bill of Lading / Sea Waybill (SWB).

Confirm that all freight charges are paid (if applicable under Collect terms).
