Important Information About FCL Shipping Rates
The regional tables provide destination-specific prices according to the container types shown. However, the supplied quotations do not specify every commercial condition.
Before accepting a freight quotation, confirm the following details:
- Origin and Destination: Verify the exact loading port and destination port for the selected route.
- Rate Unit: Confirm whether the quoted amount applies per container of the specified equipment type.
- Freight Scope: Check whether the quotation covers port-to-port ocean freight or includes additional transportation services.
- Origin Charges: Confirm whether terminal handling, documentation and other origin charges are included.
- Destination Charges: Verify destination terminal handling, documentation and other applicable local charges.
- Inland Transportation: Confirm whether pickup, delivery or inland transportation is included where required.
- Equipment and Space: Reconfirm the required container type and available shipping space.
For shipments requiring supplier pickup and final delivery rather than port-to-port transportation, review our door-to-door shipping service and confirm which transportation and handling services are included.
For shipments requiring import customs clearance, our customs brokerage services can be considered as a separate service. Import duties, taxes and final delivery arrangements should be confirmed according to the agreed shipment scope.
Businesses that require an agreed delivery scope covering freight, import arrangements and final delivery can also review our DDP shipping service. This is a separate delivery arrangement and is not automatically included in the container prices displayed above.
The supplied quotations do not specify cargo insurance. For shipments requiring additional protection against transit-related loss or damage, see our cargo insurance options and confirm the applicable policy terms separately.
Final freight costs depend on the confirmed route, equipment, service scope and applicable charges. Please request a shipment-specific quotation before booking.

Container Types Available for FCL Shipping
The available equipment varies by destination. Our November 2026 quotations list 20GP, 40GP and 40HC options across different regional routes.
20GP – 20-Foot General Purpose Container
A 20GP container is a standard 20-foot dry shipping container commonly used for smaller-volume FCL shipments and relatively dense cargo. Cargo weight, dimensions and available loading space must be considered when choosing this equipment.

40GP – 40-Foot General Purpose Container
A 40GP container is a standard 40-foot dry container offering additional floor length for larger cargo volumes.
40HC – 40-Foot High Cube Container
A 40HC container has a similar length and width to a standard 40-foot container but provides additional internal height. It can suit cargo requiring more vertical loading space.
The appropriate container depends on cargo volume, gross weight, dimensions and loading requirements. Container availability and applicable specifications should be confirmed for the selected destination.
For urgent shipments where an ocean schedule does not meet the required delivery window, compare our air freight service as an alternative transportation option.
