Who this service is for and how to request a quote

Who it’s for

  • Importers and exporters shipping full container loads (FCL), or smaller volumes that share container space (LCL)
  • Businesses that want one contact to coordinate the ocean leg together with pickup, customs, and final delivery
  • Temperature-controlled, over-height, or out-of-gauge cargo that needs reefer, open-top, or flat rack equipment

What we need for a quote

  1. Origin and destination — city and port, or the full address for door service
  2. Commodity description (and HS code, if you have it)
  3. FCL: container type, size, and quantity. LCL: number of packages, total weight, and dimensions or volume (CBM)
  4. Cargo-ready date and the Incoterms® rule on your purchase order (for example FOB, EXW, or DDP)
  5. Special requirements: hazardous materials (UN number and class), temperature range, or oversize dimensions

FCL or LCL?

LCL is usually priced per cubic meter (CBM) or per 1,000 kg, whichever is greater. When a shipment fills a large share of a container, a dedicated FCL container can cost less and requires less handling. Send us the volume and weight and we can compare both options.
