What is International Ocean Freight?

International ocean freight is the shipment of goods via sea vessel. In other words, shipping containers overseas. As a licensed NVOCC, we are able to coordinate logistics directly with our preferred steamship lines—resulting in competitive rates and services. Container shipping is a cost-effective option for those with large shipments. However, you don’t have to have a large shipment in order to ship via int’l ocean freight. We work hard to consolidate shipments to make it easier for those with smaller shipments to avoid paying more than necessary. We offer both exclusive containers and consolidated ones.

How Does Shipping Container Consolidation Work?

If you’re shipping a small volume of goods, our professional movers will carefully pack your shipment in properly labeled crates, which will then be combined in a shipping container together with other clients’ cargo. This way, multiple small shipments can fit in a single container, reducing the costs for our customers.

Exclusive Shipping Containers

Clients whose shipments will fill 20 ft. or 40 ft. containers on their own will have exclusive containers during transport. We offer our customers the additional options of choosing custom crates, wood-free crates and other specialty crates made in our private facility by our own carpenters. These are meant to suit the special and specific needs of every client that requires them.

How are Container Shipping Rates Calculated?

Our clients are only billed for the actual volumes of their shipments. Final prices are based on the total cubic feet and weight of each shipment. Once shipments are packed, either by our movers or by our customers, they will be brought to our warehouse where they will be measured a final time. These final measurements are what we use to calculate the total costs. We supply the container shipping quotes in advance and make small adjustments according to the final cargo size.

Required Documentation

You will need the following documentation when sending your shipment via ocean freight:
