After off-loading cargo, what is the next step in processing air inbound cargo?

The step that follows off-loading cargo is to print the breakdown list for each pallet. This action is crucial because the breakdown list provides specific information about the cargo that has been received, including the contents of each pallet, their weights, and any special handling instructions. Having an accurate breakdown is essential for inventory management and ensures that all items are accounted for before proceeding further in the processing chain.

Once the breakdown list is printed, it can be used to verify the shipment against shipping documents, ensuring that everything received matches what was expected. This not only aids in record-keeping but also helps identify any discrepancies or lost items early in the process.

While recording the cargo weight, sealing the containers, and preparing the cargo for delivery are all important tasks in the overall procedure, they occur subsequent to the initial documentation step provided by the breakdown list. This sequencing is vital to maintain organization and efficiency within the air freight processing workflow.
