Shipping Breaker Hammer from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Cebu, Philippines: 20FT/40FT FCL and LCL Options

Shipping Breaker Hammer from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Cebu, Philippines: 20FT/40FT FCL and LCL Options

Shipping Options: FCL and LCL

  1. Full Container Load (FCL):

    • 20FT or 40FT Containers: If you are shipping a large quantity of breaker hammers or large-sized equipment, a full container load (FCL) might be the best option. For heavy machinery, like breaker hammers, using a 20FT or 40FT container ensures that the equipment is securely transported without being mixed with other goods.
    • Cost and Efficiency: FCL offers the advantage of dedicated space, reducing the risk of damage from other cargo. It also minimizes handling time at ports, speeding up the overall delivery process.

  2. Less than Container Load (LCL):

    • Groupage Service: If you’re shipping smaller quantities or cannot fill a full container, LCL is a cost-effective alternative. In LCL, your cargo will share container space with other shipments. However, the total shipping cost is based on the volume or weight of your goods.
    • Transit Time: LCL shipping may have slightly longer transit times due to the need to consolidate and de-consolidate shipments at both the origin and destination ports.

Shipping Timeline and Port Handling

  • Sea Freight Route: The average sea freight journey from Guangzhou or Shenzhen to Cebu Port usually takes around 5 days, depending on the specific shipping line and route. While the total delivery time can vary, this estimate gives a general idea of the time it takes for sea transportation.
  • Arrival at Cebu: Upon arrival at Cebu Port, your goods will be unloaded and handled by port authorities. For FCL, the entire container will typically be delivered directly to the consignee. For LCL, the cargo will be deconsolidated and delivered to the recipient’s warehouse or other designated location.

Packaging of Breaker Hammers for International Shipping

Proper packaging is crucial to ensure that large, heavy machinery like breaker hammers arrives safely at its destination. Here are some key considerations:

  1. Wooden Crates and Pallets:

    • Breaker hammers should be packed in strong, durable wooden crates or pallets. This provides structural protection against physical impacts, moisture, and other environmental factors during the shipping process.
    • The machinery should be securely fixed inside the crate using wooden blocks, metal bands, and foam padding to prevent movement during transit.

  2. Protective Wrapping:

    • The breaker hammer should be covered with waterproof shrink wrap or heavy-duty plastic to protect it from moisture, saltwater, or humidity during the sea journey. This is especially important for long-distance maritime transport.
    • Anti-corrosion treatments can be applied to the metal parts of the breaker hammer, especially if it will be exposed to saltwater during transit.

  3. Labeling and Documentation:

    • Clear labeling with details about the contents, handling instructions, and the consignee’s information is important to prevent mishandling at ports.
    • Ensure that all required customs documentation (such as a commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin) is attached and in order to facilitate smooth clearance through customs at both the origin and destination ports.

  4. Insurance:

    • Given the size and value of breaker hammers, it is advisable to purchase marine cargo insurance. This ensures that in the event of damage or loss, you are compensated for the goods’ value during the sea freight journey.

CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) Shipping

When opting for CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) terms, the seller is responsible for the cost of shipping, insurance, and freight to Cebu Port. This includes the transport of the goods from the origin port (Guangzhou or Shenzhen) to the destination port (Cebu), and covering insurance to protect the shipment during transit.

  • CIF Coverage: Under CIF, the seller arranges the shipping and insurance up until the point the goods arrive at Cebu Port. This gives the buyer peace of mind, knowing that the shipment is covered in case of loss or damage during transportation.
  • Customs and Import Duties: The buyer in Cebu will be responsible for any additional costs such as local customs clearance and import duties once the goods arrive at the port.
