Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our ocean freight services

What is the difference between FCL and LCL shipping?

FCL (Full Container Load) means you exclusively use an entire container for your shipment, regardless of whether it's fully filled. This option is ideal for larger shipments and offers better security with less handling.

LCL (Less than Container Load) means your goods share container space with other shipments. This is more cost-effective for smaller volumes but involves more handling and slightly longer transit times due to consolidation and deconsolidation processes.

How long does ocean freight shipping take?

Transit times vary depending on the origin and destination ports, shipping route, and potential transshipments. Typical transit times range from:

  • Intra-Asia: 3-15 days
  • Asia to Europe: 25-35 days
  • Asia to North America: 15-30 days
  • Europe to North America: 10-20 days

Additional time should be allowed for customs clearance and inland transportation. Our team can provide you with specific transit times for your route during the quotation process.

How do you handle customs clearance for ocean freight?

Our comprehensive ocean freight service includes customs clearance at both origin and destination countries. We have experienced customs brokers who:

  • Prepare and submit all required customs documentation
  • Calculate and process duty and tax payments
  • Ensure compliance with import/export regulations
  • Handle any customs inquiries or inspections
  • Advise on tariff classifications and trade agreements
