Before you book

What Shippers Ask First

Something not covered here? Call the desk — you'll reach a coordinator, not a menu.

Where it starts and where it ends (a city or a port is fine), what the goods are, the weight and size or the container type, and the date it's ready. HS codes help if you have them, but we can find them.
We prepare the paperwork and arrange clearance at both ends, so you don't need a separate broker. Duties and taxes are passed through at cost and shown on the quote as their own line.
As a rough guide, a shared container (LCL) is cheaper below about 13–15 cubic metres; above that a full container usually wins and moves faster. We price both when it's close.
Carrier liability is capped by international convention and rarely covers the value of the goods. We can arrange cargo insurance for the declared value — ask for it on the quote.
Yes. Tell us the UN number and class for dangerous goods, or the temperature range for reefer and pharma loads, and we'll book equipment and carriers that can take it.
Your coordinator sends an update at each milestone — departure, arrival, customs release and delivery — and answers the phone in between.
