Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to prepare my goods for international container shipping?
Proper packaging is crucial. Ensure your goods are securely packed, labelled clearly, and protected from potential damage during transit. Consider using appropriate cushioning materials and sturdy containers.
How do I obtain a Certificate of Origin?
A Certificate of Origin can typically be obtained through your local Chamber of Commerce or a similar trade organisation. We can also assist you with the application process.

We can advise you on the most suitable Incoterm for your shipment.
