Shipment Type

For most shipments, FCL (Full Container Load) using a standard 20' or 40' container is recommended. This is the most cost-effective option for multiple systems. If your systems are unusually large or heavy, exceeding standard container dimensions or weight limits, OOG (Out of Gauge) shipment may be necessary. Breakbulk shipping is the least likely option, only considered if systems are shipped as exceptionally large and unwieldy individual components.

Packaging

Each system should be individually packaged to protect against damage during transit. Use appropriate cushioning materials (e.g., bubble wrap, foam) and sturdy boxes. Clearly label each package with contents, destination, and handling instructions (e.g., "Fragile," "Handle with Care"). For FCL shipments, ensure the cargo is securely palletized and braced within the container to prevent shifting during transit.

Documentation

Accurate and complete documentation is crucial. This includes:

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

Customs Clearance

Ensure you have all necessary documentation for customs clearance in both the country of origin and the country of destination. Familiarize yourself with any import duties, taxes, or regulations that may apply.

Insurance

Consider insuring your shipment against loss or damage during transit. This protects your investment in case of unforeseen circumstances.
