Shipping Network Field Control Units
Shipping Method
Network Field Control Units are typically shipped as FCL (Full Container Load) in a standard 20' or 40' dry container. This provides optimal protection and simplifies handling. Exceptionally large or heavy units may be considered OOG (Out of Gauge), requiring specialized handling and potentially Breakbulk shipment if exceeding container dimensions. Breakbulk is only necessary for units too massive for standard or specialized OOG containers.

Step-by-Step Guide
1. Packaging
Ensure units are adequately packaged to withstand the rigors of international shipping. Use appropriate cushioning materials (e.g., bubble wrap, foam) to prevent damage during transit. Securely fasten units within the container to prevent movement.
2. Documentation
Prepare necessary shipping documents, including:
- Commercial Invoice
- Packing List
- Bill of Lading (B/L)
- Certificate of Origin (if required)
- Any other relevant permits or certificates
3. Container Loading
For FCL shipments, ensure units are properly loaded and secured within the container to prevent shifting during transit. For OOG shipments, coordinate with a specialized carrier experienced in handling oversized cargo.
4. Customs Clearance
Comply with all customs regulations for both the exporting and importing countries. Ensure all necessary documentation is accurate and complete to avoid delays.
5. Transportation
Shipping International offers transportation services for FCL and/or OOG shipments.

Insurance Options
Protecting your shipment with cargo insurance is crucial. Various coverage options exist, including:

- Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC): Offers different levels of coverage (A, B, C) with varying degrees of protection against perils.
Consult with Shipping International to determine the appropriate level of insurance for your needs and budget.
