Shipping Desks from Guangzhou/Shenzhen, China to Ryazan, Russia: CIF Sea Freight Guide

Shipping Options

  1. Full Container Load (FCL)

    • Container Size: 20FT or 40FT
    • Service: Port-to-Port
    • Transit Time: Approximately 42 days by sea.

  2. Less than Container Load (LCL)

    • For smaller shipments, LCL allows multiple shippers to share a container, reducing costs.
    • Transit Time: Similar to FCL, around 42 days.

CIF Terms Explained

CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) means the seller (exporter) covers the cost of the goods, their transportation to the destination port, and insurance for the journey. Upon arrival at Ryazan port, the buyer handles customs clearance, taxes, and the delivery to the final location.

Packaging Guidelines for Desks

Proper packaging is crucial for protecting furniture like desks during their long sea journey. Here’s how to package them securely:

1. Disassemble the Desks

  • If possible, disassemble the desks into smaller parts (legs, table tops, drawers, etc.) to minimize space and prevent damage.

2. Protective Wrapping

  • Use bubble wrap or foam sheets to cover all parts individually.
  • Pay special attention to corners, as they are prone to damage.

3. Use Sturdy Boxes or Wooden Crates

  • Pack smaller parts in sturdy cardboard boxes.
  • For larger pieces or bulk shipments, use wooden crates to provide extra protection.

4. Moisture Protection

  • Line the crates or boxes with plastic sheeting to prevent moisture damage during transit.

5. Secure the Load in the Container

  • Use straps or braces to keep the crates and boxes stable within the container.
  • Ensure there’s no empty space to prevent movement during the sea voyage.

6. Labeling

  • Clearly label each box or crate with details such as:
    • Contents description
    • Handling instructions (e.g., “Fragile” or “This Side Up”)
    • Destination port: Ryazan, Russia

Customs and Documentation

  • Commercial Invoice: A detailed description of the goods.
  • Packing List: A breakdown of the packaging details.
  • Bill of Lading (B/L): Proof of shipment.
  • Insurance Certificate: Coverage for the shipment.
