Shipping Pushcarts from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Split Port, Croatia: CIF Options for FCL and LCL

Shipping Pushcarts from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Split Port, Croatia: CIF Options for FCL and LCL

Shipping Options

  1. FCL (Full Container Load)

    • Container Sizes:
      • 20FT container: Suitable for smaller shipments or when shipping fewer pushcarts.
      • 40FT container: Ideal for larger volumes, providing better cost efficiency per unit.
    • Transit Time: Approximately 34 days from port to port.
    • Benefits:
      • Exclusive use of the container.
      • Reduced risk of damage as there’s no mixing with other shipments.
      • Better suited for higher-value or fragile goods like pushcarts.

  2. LCL (Less-than-Container Load)

    • Shared Container: Your cargo shares space with shipments from other customers.
    • Transit Time: Similar to FCL, about 34 days. However, additional handling at the consolidation and deconsolidation hubs might slightly extend the overall transit time.
    • Benefits:
      • Cost-effective for smaller shipments.
      • No need to wait until there’s enough cargo to fill an entire container.

Shipping Terms: CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight)

Under CIF terms, the seller is responsible for the following:

  • Transportation Costs: Covers the cost of shipping from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Split Port.
  • Marine Insurance: Ensures coverage for potential damage or loss during transit.
  • Freight Charges: All charges until the goods reach Split Port.

The buyer assumes responsibility for customs clearance, local port fees, and onward transportation once the shipment arrives at Split Port.

Packaging Recommendations

Proper packaging is essential to ensure the safety of pushcarts during the 34-day sea journey. Here are some packaging guidelines:

  1. Protective Wrapping:

    • Use bubble wrap or foam padding for individual parts of the pushcarts, particularly handles, wheels, and other protruding components.

  2. Stackable Packaging:

    • If pushcarts are foldable, flatten them to optimize space.
    • Use cartons or crates designed to be stackable to maximize container utilization.

  3. Palletizing:

    • Place cartons on wooden pallets to make loading and unloading easier and reduce the risk of handling damage.
    • Secure pallets with shrink wrap and strapping for added stability.

  4. Waterproofing:

    • Use waterproof wrapping or plastic liners to protect against moisture during transit.

  5. Labeling:

    • Clearly label each package with details such as destination, consignee information, and handling instructions.
    • Include “Fragile” or “This Side Up” stickers where applicable.

  6. Fumigation (if required):

    • Ensure wooden packaging materials comply with ISPM 15 standards to avoid customs issues.
