Precise dimensions, weight, materials, and fragile parts must be detailed with photographs and drawings for each item. For example:
A comprehensive description of the machinery's historical importance is vital, including manufacturer, date of manufacture, operational history, and any notable features. Include all provenance documentation (e.g., certificates of authenticity).
The shipment type will depend on the dimensions and weight. Options include Out of Gauge (OOG), Breakbulk, or potentially Full Container Load (FCL) for smaller items. Shipping International can advise on the most suitable option.
Protecting against damage is paramount and requires specialist knowledge and materials. Shipping International offers expertise in this area.
Detail safe lifting and loading techniques for both the machinery and the crates. Specify techniques and equipment.
Transportation method depends on the shipment type:
High-value cargo necessitates comprehensive insurance coverage, including specific clauses for historical artifacts and potential damage during transit. Specify insurance policies (e.g., all-risks, fine art). Documentation of historical significance is crucial for claims. Shipping International can assist with insurance arrangements.
Accurate documentation of the cargo is required, including detailed descriptions, historical significance, and value. List specific documents needed (e.g., certificates of origin, invoices, etc.). Accurate valuation is extremely important. Export and import licenses may be required. Consult with customs brokers to ensure compliance. Shipping International has experience navigating customs procedures.
Detail specific regulations and permits needed for shipping historical artifacts internationally (e.g., CITES, cultural heritage export permits). Shipping International can provide guidance on regulatory compliance.
Include environmentally friendly packaging and shipping options, highlighting sustainable materials and carbon-neutral transportation choices. Shipping International is committed to sustainable practices.
Outline procedures for handling potential damage or loss during transit, including contact information for emergency response and claim procedures.
