The differences concern both cubic capacity and weight that can be loaded. A standard 20ft container can hold up to about 21.500 kilos of goods (24.000 kilos tare weight included) and has an average capacity of 30 cbm; there also certified containers that can hold up to about 27.500 kilos of goods (30.480 kilos tare weight included). A 40 ft container can generally squeeze about 60 cbm worth of goods inside and you can load 26.500 kilos of goods (30.460 kilos tare weight included).
Among the factors to be taken into consideration are requested time for the loading; place of loading; type of goods; shipping company.
Everything depends on the sailing date and the cutoff date. The cutoff date is the last date or time at which cargo will be received for a particular vessel. This date is determined by the carrier, but is typically 2 days before the scheduled sailing. After cutoff date, the company does not accept bookings and it is necessary to consider the next available vessel. We therefore recommend to book in advance to be sure that your goods are loaded at the desired time and to better manage all the details of your shipping.
There are typically two documents to be provided: the commercial invoice including HS code for each good and the dual-use export license. In addition to these two documents, when shipping to a country with which the EU has a trade agreement, the EUR.1 certificate could be provided. This document gives the importer in the country of destination the right to a discount or even exemption from import duties.
Documents such as bill of landing, EUR.1 certificate, packing list and customs declaration are issued once the vessel has departed. We usually send the documents on the same day and they are delivered within 2-3 days.
Much depends on the characteristics of the goods: different types of cargo require different measures for transportation. With hazardous or dangerous goods, it is crucial to follow proper dangerous goods packaging procedures and protocols to make sure the air carrier will accept the shipment. Goods that are not dangerous require proper packaging to adequately protect products from being damaged during shipment.
The basic colours are white and straw yellow; both colours are available for solid, liquid or semisolid mastic. Furthermore, we have developed a transparent resin, called KRISTAL, particularly suitable for precious marble (such as Thassos or Carrara).
