How to Ship Metal Awnings from China to Muar, Malaysia: Door-to-Door Delivery with Customs Clearance
Are you planning to import metal awnings from China to Muar? Our shipping service makes the process easy and efficient, handling everything from customs clearance to delivery at your doorstep. Here’s what you need to know about the packaging requirements and our services.
Packaging Requirements for Metal Awnings:
Use of Wooden Frames or Crates:
Your metal awnings must be securely fixed within a wooden frame or crate to ensure stability and safety during transport.
The wooden frame or crate should be strong enough to support the weight of the awnings and withstand the pressures of long-distance shipping.
Reinforcement with Plywood:
Use plywood compression boards to reinforce the packaging. These boards help prevent the awnings from shifting or getting damaged during transit.
Plywood is known for its high strength and compressive resistance, ensuring the stability and safety of your cargo.
Avoid Untreated Timber:
Do not use untreated wood in your packaging materials. Untreated wood poses a risk of pest infestations during transport and can complicate customs clearance.
According to the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), untreated wood may lead to quarantine issues, delaying the clearance process.
Protective Measures:
To prevent surface damage to the metal awnings, place protective pads or cushioning materials, such as foam or bubble wrap, between the metal surface and the packaging.
Cargo Consolidation and Warehousing:
Customers can contact us for our warehouse address to send their goods. Ensure that the outer packaging is labeled with the necessary markings for easy management.
We will handle the cargo and arrange for loading once all consolidated shipments are received.
Billing by Cubic Meter:
For less-than-container-load (LCL) shipments, costs are calculated based on the volume of the goods using the formula: Length (m) × Width (m) × Height (m) = Cubic Meters.
LCL shipping is the best choice for customers with smaller shipments, as it reduces transportation costs while maintaining flexibility.
