Shipping Prefabricated Wine Cellars: A Comprehensive Guide
Cargo Description
Prefabricated wine cellars constructed from wood and steel. Dimensions and weight vary depending on the specific cellar model. These cellars are fragile and require careful handling during transit.
Shipping Methods
- Full Container Load (FCL): Most cost-effective for cellars fitting within standard 20ft or 40ft containers.
- Out of Gauge (OOG) Cargo: Necessary for cellars exceeding standard container dimensions. Requires specialized handling and potentially flat rack containers.
- Breakbulk Shipment: Less common for prefabricated wine cellars; used only for exceptionally large units requiring specific handling.
Detailed Packaging Specifications
- Materials: High-quality plywood, strong strapping, corner protectors, sufficient void fill (e.g., bubble wrap, foam peanuts).
- Methods: Each cellar should be individually crated, ensuring secure bracing to prevent shifting during transit. Crates must be weatherproof.
- Crating Specifics: Crates should be clearly labeled with "Fragile," "Handle with Care," and relevant shipping information. Dimensions and weight should be clearly marked on the outside of each crate.
Customs Regulations
Importing/exporting wine cellars to/from the UK requires accurate documentation, including commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin. Specific permits or licenses may be required depending on the materials used in construction and the country of origin. Shipping International provides information related to these regulations.
