Shipping Olive Harvesters: A Guide

Shipping from & to the UK

This guide outlines the process of shipping olive harvesters from and to the UK. Shipping International can assist with this process.

1. Cargo Details:

For each olive harvester, provide:

• Quantity: (e.g., 10 harvesters)
• Dimensions: Length (cm), Width (cm), Height (cm)
• Weight: (kg)
• Special Features: (e.g., delicate parts requiring extra protection, specific loading requirements)

2. Shipment Type:

The shipping method depends on dimensions and weight:

• FCL (Full Container Load): Suitable if harvesters fit within standard container dimensions (various sizes available).
• OOG (Out of Gauge): Required if harvesters exceed standard container dimensions. This necessitates specialized handling and potentially higher costs.
• Breakbulk: Necessary for exceptionally large or oddly shaped harvesters. This involves shipping individual units, often requiring more complex logistics and higher costs.

3. Packaging and Protection:

Proper packaging is crucial:

• Crating: Custom-built wooden crates offer excellent protection.
• Padding: Use appropriate padding materials (e.g., bubble wrap, foam).
• Strapping: Securely strap harvesters within crates.
• Clear Labeling: Clearly label each crate with contents, weight, dimensions, and handling instructions.

4. Documentation:

Necessary documentation includes:

• Commercial Invoice: Details the goods being shipped.
• Packing List: Lists the contents of each crate.
• Bill of Lading: Acts as a contract of carriage.
• Certificate of Origin (if required): Verifies the origin of the goods.

5. Insurance:

Cargo insurance is recommended to protect against loss or damage. Shipping International can provide information on insurance options.
