Recommended: FCL (Full Container Load). This minimizes handling and risk of damage.
OOG (Out of Gauge) Handling: May be required for exceptionally large or oddly shaped pieces within the FCL container.
Breakbulk shipment is generally less suitable due to increased risk of damage and higher costs.
Each piece should be individually protected with appropriate padding (bubble wrap, foam, etc.) before crating or palletization. Securely fasten all packaging to prevent shifting during transit.
Crating: Use sturdy wooden crates with sufficient bracing to protect against impact and moisture.
Palletization: Securely fasten pieces to pallets using appropriate straps or shrink wrap.
Accurate and complete documentation is crucial. This includes:
Shipping International notes that insuring your shipment against loss or damage during transit is a consideration.
Understanding Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) is crucial. These terms define responsibilities and costs between buyer and seller. Common Incoterms include:
Choosing the correct Incoterm significantly impacts cost and liability.
Complying with UK and destination country customs regulations is vital. Incorrect documentation or failure to declare goods properly can lead to delays, fines, or even seizure of your shipment. Research specific requirements for your goods and destination.
In case of damage or loss, promptly notify the carrier and provide all relevant documentation (photos, invoices, etc.). Follow the carrier's claims procedure, which may involve filing a formal claim within a specific timeframe. Insurance can significantly simplify the claims process.
