Commercial Cargo with International
Ocean Freight
Commercial cargo can include anything except excluded items, such
as live animals and human remains. The list varies with the country
of origin and destination. Careful packing is essential for safe
shipment of your consignment. A large variety of packing material
and options are available to you for your shipment. Chemical or
hazardous material requires special approval.
Following are some of the variables that determine the cost of
ocean shipping:
-
Place of origin and destination of the cargo to
be shipped
-
Size of shipping - volume here plays a major and
weights a minor role
-
Type of material - for example, hazardous and
perishable and refrigerated materials require special handling
and are subject to extra charges
We provide two types of services to minimize your
cost of shipping:
LCL (Less than full container
load)
-
Here the cost is based on volume ( cubic
feet).In this service, we consolidate your shipment with those
of others in a 20- or 40-foot container and pass on the resulting
savings to you, our customer.
-
If you are shipping loose cartons, especially
over 100 lbs., they should preferably be palletized
. Highly valued and fragile items should be crated
-
Regardless of weight, the dimensions of individual
items must not exceed 224" (length) x 88" (width)
x 90" (height)
-
Charges for loading into a container is included
in the price quoted for shipping
-
Final price is based on the exterior dimensions
of the box, carton, pallet or crate

Pricing is based on the shipment being delivered
to our freight station; a pick-up from place can be arranged
at an additional cost
