HOW TO SHIP CARGO INTERNATIONALLY BASIC PROCEDURE

International shipping has unique rules and regulations to ensure all imports and exports to countries around the world are safe, accounted for, and protected. There are various methods of international shipping, including ocean freight and air freight. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, including speed, cost, and safety for different containers.

International Ocean Freight

Global Shipping can transport your goods to and from any major port in the world. We have contracts with all major shipping lines and consolidators across the globe and can help you decide whether you need a full container load (FCL) or less than a full container (LCL) for your freight services. We can also help facilitate a flatrack for oversized shipments if a standard ocean cargo container isn’t large enough. Ocean freight is often the cheaper option but can take longer to transport your goods. It’s also the preferred option for hazardous containers and can work well for perishable goods due to a variety of storage options.

International Air Freight

If you’re looking for speed and efficiency, air transportation should be your choice. Though it’s no doubt more expensive, Global Shipping can help you come up with an effective solution for your project. Consolidation services can reduce the costs of smaller shipments, so you don’t overpay for any singular shipment. With an air charter, you can send time-sensitive packages even more quickly.
