Shipping Optical Transmission Equipment

Shipping Methods

Optical transmission equipment is typically shipped as FCL (Full Container Load) in a standard 20' or 40' dry container. Out-of-gauge (OOG) shipment may be necessary for exceptionally large or oddly shaped pieces, but this is less common. Breakbulk shipment is unlikely.

Packaging

The equipment must be securely packed in crates or custom-designed packaging to protect it during transit. Consider using:

  • Shock-absorbing materials (e.g., foam, bubble wrap)
  • Protective coverings (e.g., polyethylene film)
  • Reinforced corners and edges
  • Clear and visible labeling indicating "Fragile" and "Handle with Care"

Documentation

Ensure all necessary documentation is included, such as:

  • Commercial Invoice
  • Packing List
  • Bill of Lading
  • Certificate of Origin (if required)
  • Insurance documentation
  • Any necessary import/export permits or licenses

Handling

Optical transmission equipment is sensitive and requires careful handling. Clearly mark packages with appropriate handling instructions, such as "Fragile," "Handle with Care," and arrows indicating the correct orientation.
