International Shipping of Industrial-Grade CO2 Filters to the UK

Understanding Your Shipment Requirements

The transportation of industrial-grade CO2 filters often presents unique logistical challenges due to their substantial weight and potential for being oversized. This document details the shipping procedures applicable to both standard and out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo. Shipping International possesses the expertise to manage both types of shipments efficiently.

Available Shipment Options

The optimal shipping method is determined by the dimensions and weight of the CO2 filters being transported:

• Full Container Load (FCL): This is the most economical solution for shipping large quantities of filters that fit within the standard dimensions of shipping containers (typically 20ft or 40ft).
• Out of Gauge (OOG) Cargo: Filters exceeding standard container dimensions necessitate specialised handling. This may involve breakbulk shipment, requiring meticulous planning and execution.

The Shipping Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Precise Measurement and Weighing

Accurate determination of each filter's dimensions (length, width, height) and weight is paramount. This data dictates the most suitable shipping method and container type. Shipping International can provide on-site assistance with these measurements to ensure accuracy.

2. Essential Information Requirements

To facilitate a smooth and efficient shipping process, the following information is required:

• Total number of CO2 filters to be shipped
• Precise dimensions of each individual filter (length, width, height)
• Individual weight of each filter
• Complete origin and destination addresses, including postal codes
• Your preferred delivery date
