Shipping Coaxial Cable Assemblies

Shipping Options

For shipments of coaxial cable assemblies from and to the UK, Shipping International offers several options:

FCL (Full Container Load): A standard 20' or 40' dry container is ideal for most shipments. This offers cost-effectiveness for larger volumes.
OOG (Out of Gauge): If the assemblies are unusually large or heavy, exceeding standard container dimensions or weight limits, this option will be necessary.
Breakbulk: Only considered for extremely low quantities where an FCL isn't justifiable.

Packaging

Careful packaging is crucial to prevent damage. Shipping International recommends:

Palletizing: Assemblies are palletized for secure stacking and handling.
Protective Wrapping: Using protective wrapping (e.g., bubble wrap, foam padding) to cushion the cables.
Secure Packaging: Securing the packaging to prevent shifting during transit.

Documentation Requirements

The following documentation is necessary for customs clearance:

Commercial Invoice
Packing List
Certificates of Origin (if required)
Bill of Lading/Air Waybill
Any other relevant permits or licenses

Customs Regulations

Customs regulations vary depending on the origin and destination countries. It's crucial to comply with all import and export regulations for coaxial cable assemblies. This may include tariffs, duties, and specific product restrictions. Consult relevant government agencies or a customs broker for detailed information.

Insurance

Cargo insurance is highly recommended to protect against loss or damage during transit. Information on available options, including Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC) and All-Risks Coverage, can be found from insurance providers.
