Shipping from Guangzhou/Shenzhen, China to Yerevan, Armenia: 20FT/40FT Full Container and LCL Options

Shipping Methods

  1. FCL (Full Container Load):

    • Ideal for businesses with sufficient cargo to fill an entire container.
    • Options include 20FT and 40FT containers.
    • The CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) term means the seller is responsible for delivering goods to the port in Yerevan, including freight charges and insurance.
  2. LCL (Less than Container Load):

    • Suitable for smaller shipments that don’t require a full container.
    • Multiple shipments from various customers are consolidated into one container, reducing costs.

Sea Route and Transit Time

The shipping journey from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Yerevan involves sea and land transportation, given Armenia’s landlocked geography.

  • Sea Transit: Containers are shipped to a nearby seaport (e.g., Poti, Georgia, or Mersin, Turkey).
  • Land Transit: From the seaport, cargo is transported to Yerevan via truck or rail.
  • Estimated Total Transit Time: Approximately 45 days, depending on the route, customs clearance, and logistical arrangements.

Packaging Guidelines for International Shipping

Proper packaging ensures the safety and integrity of goods during long-distance transportation. Follow these guidelines for secure and efficient shipping:

  1. Use Durable Materials:

    • Use high-quality corrugated cardboard boxes for lightweight items.
    • For heavy goods, use wooden crates or reinforced packaging materials.
  2. Palletization:

    • Arrange boxes on pallets for easy handling and stability during transit.
    • Secure goods to the pallet using shrink wrap, straps, or banding.
  3. Waterproofing:

    • Protect items with waterproof covers or plastic liners to prevent moisture damage during sea transit.
  4. Cushioning and Protection:

    • Use bubble wrap, foam, or air cushions to protect fragile items from shock and vibration.
    • Seal all boxes tightly with high-quality packing tape.
  5. Labeling:

    • Clearly label each package with the following:
      • Sender and receiver details.
      • Handling instructions (e.g., “Fragile” or “This Side Up”).
      • Content description and weight.
  6. Compliance with Regulations:

    • Ensure the packaging meets international shipping standards and the requirements of both Chinese and Armenian customs authorities.
