Sea Import

Container and consolidated inbound sea freight with port-side coordination.

FCL/LCL selection, bill of lading, origin charges, destination charges, customs and inland handover.

What decides a sea import

A quotation clarifies inclusions, exclusions, cost basis and expected milestones before shipment confirmation.

FCL or LCL: A full container is planned around the container; a consolidated load is planned around the cargo's cubic metres and the consolidator's schedule. The two have different handover points.
Release readiness: The bill of lading, the importer's documents and any permit have to be in order before the container can be released from the terminal.
Local charges and free time: Free time and storage terms are set by the shipping line and the terminal, and they differ. Ask for them in writing for the booking, not from a general table.
Inland delivery: Trucking from the port is a separate decision: the delivery address, access limits and unloading arrangements change the vehicle and the timing.

We do not assume a free-time allowance, a container's availability or a carrier's acceptance. Each is confirmed for your shipment.
