When shipping malic acid from Guangzhou or Shenzhen, China, to Borg El Arab Port in Egypt, there are several options to consider for transportation: Full Container Load (FCL) or Less-than-Container Load (LCL).
For FCL, you can choose either a 20FT or 40FT container. The journey typically takes around 29 days via sea freight, and the shipping terms are CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight), meaning the seller covers the cost of transportation, insurance, and freight charges to the destination port. This option ensures safe and reliable delivery, especially for bulk shipments.
For LCL shipments, the cargo will be consolidated with other goods, offering a cost-effective solution for smaller quantities. Though LCL is more affordable, it may take slightly longer as it requires additional handling and consolidation.
In terms of packaging, malic acid should be securely packed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. The most common packaging method is using plastic or fiber drums, which are sealed tightly to maintain product integrity. Additionally, each drum should be properly labeled with handling instructions and shipment details. To ensure that the cargo withstands rough handling during transit, the drums are typically placed on pallets and wrapped with stretch film or secured with straps inside the container.
This approach provides both safety and efficiency, ensuring that the malic acid reaches its destination in optimal condition.
