Understanding International Sea Freight: What Your Business Needs
The Basics of Containerization
The foundation of modern ocean freight logistics is the standardized shipping container. These large metal boxes come in various sizes and are designed to be easily transferred between ships, trucks, and trains. They protect your goods from the elements and streamline the entire supply chain. Understanding container sizes and types is crucial for optimizing your shipment and ensuring it fits perfectly within the vessel’s hold.
Navigating Documentation and Customs
Proper documentation is the backbone of any successful international shipment. A single error can cause significant delays and added costs. Key documents include the Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, and packing list. We work tirelessly to ensure every form is accurate and complete. Our team understands complex customs procedures, helping your cargo clear inspection and reach its final destination without a hitch.
