Shipping Formaldehyde Gel from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Pontevedra Port, Spain

Shipping Formaldehyde Gel from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Pontevedra Port, Spain

Shipping Methods

For shipping formaldehyde gel from Guangzhou or Shenzhen to Pontevedra, two primary shipping methods are available:

  1. Full Container Load (FCL)

    • 20ft or 40ft Container: A Full Container Load (FCL) is ideal when you have enough cargo to fill an entire container. FCL offers more security and protection for your goods during transit, as the container is sealed and dedicated solely to your cargo.
    • CIF Shipping (Cost, Insurance, and Freight): With a CIF arrangement, the seller assumes responsibility for the cost of goods, insurance, and freight up to the port of destination, which in this case is Pontevedra Port. This ensures that the cargo is protected during the entire journey from China to Spain.

  2. Less than Container Load (LCL)

    • Consolidated Shipment: If you do not have enough goods to fill an entire container, you can opt for LCL shipping. With LCL, your cargo will be consolidated with other shipments in one container, making it a more cost-effective option.
    • Sea Freight Transit Time: Whether FCL or LCL is chosen, the sea freight transit time from Guangzhou or Shenzhen to Pontevedra Port is typically around 32 days. This time can vary slightly depending on shipping schedules and weather conditions.

Packaging of Formaldehyde Gel

Formaldehyde gel is a chemical product and requires specific packaging to ensure safety during transit. Here’s how the packaging process typically works:

  1. Primary Packaging:
    The formaldehyde gel should be stored in tightly sealed containers made of durable, chemical-resistant materials such as plastic drums or high-quality polyethylene bottles. These containers prevent leakage and protect the gel from contamination.

  2. Secondary Packaging:
    The primary containers should be packed into strong, corrugated cardboard boxes or wooden crates for additional protection during handling and transportation. This secondary layer of packaging ensures that the goods remain secure and helps in the organization of cargo inside the shipping container.

  3. Labeling and Safety Precautions:
    Proper labeling is critical when shipping hazardous chemicals like formaldehyde gel. Each package should be clearly labeled with the product name, handling instructions, hazard symbols, and any relevant safety data sheets (SDS). This ensures compliance with international shipping regulations, including those for hazardous materials.

  4. Palletizing:
    For FCL shipments, goods are typically palletized for easy loading and unloading. The pallets should be wrapped with stretch film to ensure the containers stay secure during transit. In LCL shipments, palletizing also helps to ensure the safe and efficient handling of smaller quantities of goods.

Shipping Process Overview

  1. Loading at Origin (Guangzhou/Shenzhen):
    The cargo is prepared, packaged, and loaded onto the container at either Guangzhou or Shenzhen port. Depending on the shipment size (FCL or LCL), the process will vary, but the cargo will be handled by professional logistics teams to ensure that it is correctly secured.

  2. Sea Transit:
    The shipment will then embark on its sea voyage from China to Spain, taking approximately 32 days. During this time, the shipment will likely pass through multiple ports for refueling or transshipment, depending on the shipping route.

  3. Arrival at Pontevedra Port:
    Once the container reaches Pontevedra Port in Spain, customs clearance procedures will be handled, including inspection and the payment of any applicable duties or taxes.

  4. Final Delivery:
    After clearing customs, the goods will be ready for final delivery, either to a warehouse or a specific location, depending on the agreement with the buyer.
