Shipping Roll-up Doors from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Voronezh Port, Russia

Shipping Roll-up Doors from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Voronezh Port, Russia

Shipping Options: FCL and LCL

For shipments from Guangzhou or Shenzhen to Voronezh, two common shipping methods are used: Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL).

  1. FCL (Full Container Load) Shipping:

    • 20FT/40FT Container: The choice of a 20FT or 40FT container depends on the volume and size of the cargo. Roll-up doors are typically bulky, and the FCL method ensures that the cargo takes up the entire container, minimizing the risk of damage and reducing the cost per unit for large shipments.
    • CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) Service: Under the CIF Incoterm, the seller is responsible for the cost of shipping, insurance, and freight until the goods reach Voronezh port. The buyer assumes responsibility once the goods are delivered at the destination port.
  2. LCL (Less than Container Load) Shipping:

    • Shared Container Space: LCL shipping is ideal for smaller shipments that do not require a full container. In this case, multiple shippers share the same container. The cargo is consolidated at the port of departure and deconsolidated at the destination.
    • Transit Time: Regardless of whether FCL or LCL is chosen, the estimated sea transit time for shipments from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Voronezh Port is approximately 42 days, depending on the shipping line and specific route taken.

Packaging for Safe Transit

Proper packaging is crucial to ensure that roll-up doors arrive at the destination port in good condition. The goods must be securely packed to withstand the rigors of sea transport, including potential exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and rough handling during loading and unloading.

  1. Wooden Crates:

    • Roll-up doors should be placed inside sturdy wooden crates to protect them from damage. The crates should be custom-sized to fit the specific dimensions of the doors, ensuring that they are immobilized and cannot shift during transit.
  2. Plastic Wrap:

    • Before placing the doors in crates, they should be wrapped in plastic film to provide an additional layer of protection against moisture and dust. This helps prevent rust or corrosion, especially if there is any exposure to humidity or water during transit.
  3. Foam Padding:

    • To minimize the risk of damage from impacts, foam padding should be used inside the crates, especially around the edges and corners of the roll-up doors. This cushioning will absorb any shocks that may occur during handling.
  4. Strapping and Sealing:

    • Once the goods are securely placed inside the crate and wrapped in plastic, the crates should be tightly sealed and strapped. This ensures that the package remains intact and that the doors cannot move during the journey.
  5. Clear Labeling:

    • Each crate should be clearly labeled with the destination address, handling instructions, and any relevant safety warnings (e.g., “Fragile” or “Keep Dry”). This helps ensure that the cargo is handled properly during transit and unloading.
