Origin Information: The Africa and Southeast Asia, India and Sri Lanka quotations specify South China as the origin region. The exact loading ports are not identified. The Europe and Red Sea quotations do not specify their origin ports.

The prices displayed are based on the supplied November 2026 quotations. The exact billing unit, transportation scope and included charges must be confirmed against the applicable quotation before booking.

Compare the lowest listed prices across the four destination regions. These figures represent the lowest quoted amounts in each regional rate table, not guaranteed prices for every destination.

The lowest listed price is only a starting point for comparing regional quotations. The lowest 20GP rate in the Southeast Asia and India region is listed for Laem Chabang, while the lowest 40GP rate is listed for Ho Chi Minh. Laem Chabang requires separate space confirmation.

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.

Our November 2026 European quotation covers selected destinations across Northern, Western, Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as several Mediterranean and Black Sea destinations.

Available equipment options include 20GP and 40HC containers. The original quotation does not identify the exact origin port.

European Inland Destination Rates

The original European quotation also includes Budapest and Belgrade. These are inland destinations rather than seaports. The corresponding gateway ports and inland transportation arrangements have not been specified.

Budapest and Belgrade are quoted as inland destinations. Confirm the gateway port, transportation method and whether inland delivery charges are included before booking.

For eligible China–Europe shipments where delivery timing is a higher priority than ocean freight pricing, you can also compare our rail freight service from China to Europe. Route eligibility and the required onward transportation must be confirmed separately.

Where a shipment requires a combination of sea, rail and road transportation, our multimodal freight service provides another route-planning option. The applicable gateway and handoffs should be reviewed for each inland destination.

Our November 2026 FCL shipping rates from South China cover selected destinations across West Africa, East Africa and Southern Africa.

Compare 20GP and 40GP prices for destinations including Conakry, Tema, Lome, Abidjan, Apapa, Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Beira, Maputo and Nacala.

Space for Conakry requires separate confirmation. The original quotation lists one destination as CONTOU. Cotonou, Benin may be the intended port, but the name and country must be confirmed by the quotation provider before publication or booking.

Our November 2026 quotation covers selected destinations across the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden region, including Sokhna, Jeddah, Aqaba, Djibouti, Berbera and Aden.

Available equipment options include 20GP and 40GP. The exact origin port is not identified in the supplied quotation.

The original quotation lists SUDAN without identifying a specific destination port. Please confirm the exact port and applicable transportation scope before requesting a final quotation.

Our November 2026 FCL ocean freight rates from South China cover selected destinations across Southeast Asia, India and Sri Lanka.

Compare 20GP and 40GP container prices for destinations including Laem Chabang, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh, Mundra, Nhava Sheva, Colombo, Penang and Pasir Gudang.

Space for Laem Chabang requires separate confirmation. The Mundra, Nhava Sheva and Colombo prices are reproduced exactly as listed in the original quotation. Their 40GP prices are lower than the corresponding 20GP prices, so the equipment-specific pricing should be reconfirmed before booking.

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.
