American Genetics'
can provide the
Export Coordination Assistance You Need!
American Genetics International (AGI) provides administrative
services to coordinate all aspects of a livestock, semen or embryo import and export
shipments. Our services relieve the buyer and the seller of the extensive
coordination that is needed to ensure a successful shipment.
In addition, our goal is to protect the financial interests of both the buyer
and seller - to minimize risk, keep overhead expenses as low as possible and to ensure
that animals are purchased and sold through financially secure instruments based on
performance by the parties involved.
Services can be provided at the request of either the buyer or the seller:
 | Calculate all import or export costs (cost of the genetics,
trucking, port charges, consulate fees, insurance and ocean or air freight cost).
|
| Prepare a Proforma Invoice for the C & F, CIF or FOB value
of the shipment.
|
| Obtain and provide the importer with any animal documentation
required for submission of their import license applicant to their government officials.
|
| For Shipments to be Paid through a Letter of Credit:
 | Prepare Letter of Credit (L/C) Instructions for the buyer to
use in opening the L/C.
|
| Review the L/C for compliance to the Proforma Invoice and
Import License; request Amendments as required.
|
| Process Assignments of Proceeds against the L/C for payment to
the breeders (if required), the airline and any other required.
|
| Prepare all L/C and shipping documents to comply with L/C and
import license.
|
| After shipment, submit L/C documents to the U.S. bank for
negotiation of L/C; monitor bank's review to expedite process, resolve questions and
finalize payments on Assignments.
|
| Responsible for ensuring that all suppliers and service
providers are paid as agreed (truckers, insurance companies, airlines, quarantine
and port vets)
|
|
| For cash payments:
| Monitor receipt of payments to ensure that funds are received
prior to the animals leaving the farms
|
| Ensure that all animal that are being paid have passed their
health tests and are eligible for export.
|
| Responsible for payments to all suppliers and service
providers
|
|
| Once the buyer has obtained his import license and the L/C has
been opened, a processing and shipment schedule will be developed by:
| Researching available dates for international transportation
(aircraft and/or trucking) to determine tentative shipment date and making reservations;
|
| Reserving space at quarantine facility and notifing the port
veterinarian
|
| Determining the date animals need to be health tested, the
date blood needs to be at the lab, when test results will be available and the date export
health papers need to be finalized and available to go to the Consulate for legalization.
|
| Establishing date/time animals need to arrive at Quarantine.
|
|
| Coordinate export health testing:
| Distribute processing instructions to each breeder and health
testing instructions to each veterinarian.
|
| Coordinate with the testing labs to ensure that they are
running the correct type of tests and to identify/resolve any problems before they can
result in an animal being rejected due to health testing problems.
|
|
| Provide on-site coordination at the port of export, supervision of the port vet's
inspection of the animals, monitoring feeding and the animals' physical health while they
are at the export facility, coordinate with the animal handlers when loading the animals
into the pens and onto the aircraft; coordination with the freight forwarder and
transportation company. |
