Shipping Prefabricated Greywater Recycling Systems

Shipping from & to the UK

This guide outlines the process of shipping prefabricated greywater recycling systems to and from the UK. The optimal shipping method depends on the size and weight of your systems. Shipping International can assist with this process.

1. Cargo Type:

• FCL (Full Container Load): Suitable for numerous, relatively small and lightweight systems that fit within a standard 20' or 40' container. This is generally the most cost-effective option for multiple units.
• OOG (Out of Gauge): Used for systems exceeding standard container dimensions or weight limits. This requires specialized handling and transportation.
• Breakbulk: Considered only for exceptionally large or unwieldy systems where containerization is impractical. This is typically the most expensive option.

2. Measure and Weigh Your Systems:

Accurately measure the dimensions (length, width, height) and weight of each system. This information is crucial for determining the appropriate shipping method and calculating freight costs.

3. Packaging and Palletization:

Proper packaging is essential to protect your systems during transit. Palletization is usually required, especially for FCL and OOG shipments. Consider using recycled packaging materials for environmentally friendly shipping.

4. Documentation:

Prepare all necessary shipping documentation, including commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin. Shipping International can advise on required documentation.

5. Customs Clearance:

Ensure you understand and comply with all customs regulations for importing and exporting greywater recycling systems. Shipping International has expertise in customs clearance.

6. Insurance:

Using recycled packaging materials is another way to reduce your carbon footprint.
