International Crate Shipping Solutions: Minimising Your Carbon Footprint

Optimising Shipment Type for Crates

Selecting the correct shipment method is crucial for cost-effectiveness and environmental responsibility. We offer tailored solutions based on your specific needs:

• Full Container Load (FCL): The standard choice for shipping a sufficient quantity of standard-sized and weighted crates. FCL offers security and efficiency.
• Out of Gauge (OOG): For oversized or exceptionally heavy crates requiring specialised handling equipment and expertise. We ensure safe and compliant transport.
• Breakbulk: Considered only when dealing with exceptionally large crates or when the quantity is insufficient to justify a full container. This option requires careful planning and execution.

Seamless UK Origin & Destination Services

We specialise in facilitating crate shipments to and from the United Kingdom, providing end-to-end logistics solutions designed for efficiency and reliability. Our extensive network ensures timely and secure delivery, regardless of your cargo's origin or destination within the UK.

Your Step-by-Step Guide to International Crate Shipping

Navigating international shipping can be complex. We simplify the process with our proven step-by-step approach:

1. Secure Packaging for International Transit

Proper packaging is paramount to protecting your goods. We recommend the following:

• Employ robust crates built to withstand international transit.
• Utilise appropriate cushioning materials, such as bubble wrap or foam, to prevent movement and absorb shocks.
• Ensure all crates are securely closed and sealed to prevent tampering and damage.

2. Essential Documentation for International Shipments

Accurate and complete documentation is crucial for smooth customs clearance. Ensure you have the following:

• Commercial Invoice: A detailed invoice outlining the contents, value, weight, and dimensions of the shipment.
• Packing List: A comprehensive itemised list of all crates included in the shipment.
• Bill of Lading (B/L): The legally binding contract of carriage between the shipper and the carrier.
• Certificate of Origin (if required): A document verifying the country of origin of the goods.
• Any other necessary permits or licenses: Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
