RizzitGo Shipping: Proactive Strategies to Lower Risk in International Freight Management

2026-02-15

In the complex world of international logistics, disputes over cargo damage or loss can lead to significant financial losses, strained client relationships, and prolonged claim processes. At RizzitGo, we empower our partners with a simple yet highly effective strategy: meticulously documenting pre-shipment and packaging conditions.

The Critical Role of Visual Proof in Freight Claims

When goods arrive damaged or go missing, determining liability—whether it lies with the exporter, carrier, importer, or insurance provider—becomes the primary challenge. Without clear evidence, these situations often devolve into "he said, she said" scenarios, causing delays and potentially uncovered losses. Photographic documentation provides an indisputable, time-stamped record of the cargo's condition at the point of handover.

How to Implement an Effective Photo Documentation Process

Follow this RizzitGo-recommended checklist to create a robust visual audit trail:

  1. Pre-Packaging Stage:
  2. Packaging Materials:
  3. During Packing:
  4. Sealed Unit:
  5. Loading & Sealing:

Best Practices for Your Photo Evidence

  • Use a camera or smartphone that records high-resolution images with clear timestamps and geotags if possible.
  • Ensure good lighting to reveal details and any pre-existing flaws.
  • Include a reference object (like a ruler or a clearly visible shipping document) in some frames for scale and context.
  • Store photos securely in the cloud or a dedicated logistics management system, linking them to the specific House Bill or Master Bill of Lading number. Do not rely solely on local device storage.
  • Share these photos proactively with your logistics partner, like RizzitGo, and with the consignee prior to departure to establish a shared baseline of condition.
