FAQ
Q: What is the primary operational difference between FCL and LCL shipping?
A: FCL (Full Container Load) means you secure the entire container exclusively for your goods. LCL (Less than Container Load) consolidates multiple shippers' cargo into one container. FCL provides streamlined handling and premium transit efficiency.
Q: When is it recommended to choose FCL over LCL?
A: When your total shipment volume reaches or exceeds 15 CBM, FCL becomes highly cost-effective per cubic meter. It is also the preferred choice for goods that benefit from dedicated, untouched container sealing.
Q: How are AMS and ISF filings managed for US shipping?
A: AMS (Automated Manifest System) and ISF (Importer Security Filing) are mandatory safety documentation required prior to vessel departure. Our specialized documentation team handles these submissions seamlessly to ensure complete administrative compliance.
Q: What are the options for handling import customs duties and taxes in the USA?
A: Duties are calculated based on the official U.S. tariff schedule. Under DDU terms, we clear customs using your company's own Continuous Bond. Under DDP terms, we handle the logistics and duties comprehensively to deliver a cleared, all-inclusive solution.
Q: Can you accommodate heavyweight container shipments within the United States?
A: Yes. To align perfectly with highway load regulations, we utilize specialized tri-axle chassis and secure standard overweight permits, facilitating smooth, compliant transit to your final destination door.
