Freight shipping is a very complex and, at times, costly industry. Ocean and air carriers implement fees if deadlines are not met, if corrections are needed to documentation after the vessel has sailed, or if the container is not returned within the allotted free days. Additionally, terminals will implement their own costs regarding container activities on their premises, for example, if the container remains on site longer than the time allowed, if it must be out-gated prematurely, or if it needs to be moved within the grounds. As costly, confusing, and time-consuming as it can be to understand the requirements and procedures implemented by terminals and carriers, the most powerful players in logistics are governments – both domestic and international. THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PUT INTO PLACE BY CUSTOMS (AT ORIGIN AND AT DESTINATION) ARE VERY COMPLICATED AND DETAILED. If these laws are not properly obeyed, it could result in ghastly fines, the cargo could be placed on inspec...

If you have regular shipments, and are planning to transport more than 15 cubic meters, FCL would be the most economical type of ocean freight. Filling a fu...
