Requirements vary by origin and destination. This includes export/import licenses, OOG permits (if applicable), a bill of lading, and comprehensive cargo insurance.

Choosing a forwarder with experience in OOG/Breakbulk shipments, robust insurance, and a proven track record is crucial. Shipping International offers these services.
5. Packaging and Securing
