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.
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.
Accurate and complete documentation is crucial. This includes:
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.
Consider insuring your shipment against loss or damage during transit. This protects your investment in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Costs are highly variable and depend on factors such as origin, destination, weight, volume, and the time of year.
