Key Benefits
Ocean freight transports cargo via container ships across international waters. It's the most cost-effective method for moving large volumes of goods globally, ideal for businesses importing or exporting products between continents.
Full Container Load (FCL) means you book an entire container exclusively for your cargo - best for larger shipments. Less-than-Container Load (LCL) consolidates your freight with other shippers in a shared container - ideal for smaller volumes that don't fill a full container.
The most common containers are 20-foot (TEU) holding approximately 1,170 cubic feet and 40-foot (FEU) holding approximately 2,390 cubic feet. High-cube 40-foot containers offer an extra foot of height. Specialized containers include refrigerated (reefer), open-top, and flat-rack options.
Transit times vary by route. Asia to U.S. West Coast typically takes 2-3 weeks, Asia to U.S. East Coast takes 4-5 weeks, Europe to U.S. takes 2-3 weeks. Add time for customs clearance and inland delivery to calculate total door-to-door transit.
Yes, we coordinate customs brokerage services for both import and export shipments. We ensure proper documentation, tariff classification, and regulatory compliance so your cargo clears customs without delays or penalties.
Essential documents include Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, and customs entry forms. Depending on your cargo and destination, additional permits or certificates may be required. Our team guides you through all documentation requirements.
