Shipping Small Tofu Making Machines from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Whangarei, New Zealand

Shipping Small Tofu Making Machines from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Whangarei, New Zealand

Shipping Methods: FCL and LCL

  1. Full Container Load (FCL)
    For businesses that need to ship large quantities of small tofu making machines, a Full Container Load (FCL) is the most efficient option. Depending on the volume of the goods, you can choose between a 20ft or 40ft container. FCL shipping ensures that the goods are transported separately from others, minimizing risks of damage and theft. This method is ideal for large orders that fill the entire container. The CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) shipping option is typically used, which means that the cost, insurance, and freight are included up to the destination port.

    • 20ft FCL Container: Ideal for smaller shipments that do not require a large container.
    • 40ft FCL Container: Suitable for larger shipments or multiple machines, offering more space and flexibility.

  2. Less than Container Load (LCL)
    For smaller shipments or when shipping just a few machines, Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping is a cost-effective solution. In LCL, your goods share the container space with those of other shippers. The shipping company will consolidate the cargo at the port of origin and then deconsolidate it at the destination port. LCL shipping is typically used for smaller businesses or international buyers who do not require a full container.

    • Shipping Duration: The ocean freight journey for both FCL and LCL shipments typically takes around 25 days from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Whangarei, New Zealand, depending on the shipping line and port schedules.

Packaging for Small Tofu Making Machines

Proper packaging is essential to ensure the safe arrival of tofu making machines. These machines are delicate and can be damaged if not packed properly. Below are some essential packaging guidelines for shipping:

  1. Wooden Crates
    The tofu making machines should be packed in sturdy wooden crates to protect them from external damage during transit. The crates are custom-built to fit the size and shape of the machines, offering extra support to avoid any internal movements that could cause damage.

  2. Foam and Bubble Wrap
    Before placing the machines into the crates, the machines should be carefully wrapped in foam padding or bubble wrap. This step cushions the machines against shock and vibration during transport, which is especially important for sensitive parts such as motors or electronic controls.

  3. Plastic Shrink Wrap
    In addition to the crate, the machines should be wrapped in plastic shrink wrap. This provides a moisture barrier to prevent rusting or corrosion during the sea journey. The wrap also holds any loose parts in place to prevent movement inside the crate.

  4. Plywood Pallets
    The wooden crates should be placed on plywood pallets to make it easier to load and unload the machines at the ports. The pallets also offer an additional layer of stability and prevent any damage caused by direct contact with the ground or container floor.

  5. Labeling and Documentation
    Each crate should be clearly labeled with essential shipping information, including the consignee’s address, contact details, and a description of the contents. Proper customs documentation such as the commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading should accompany the shipment.
