Knowledge Center
Ocean Freight Shipping FAQ for Overseas Importers
Key information for international logistics decision-makers.
FCL (Full Container Load) is best for cargo volumes exceeding 13 to 15 CBM or for sensitive goods requiring exclusive container use. LCL (Less than Container Load) is more cost-effective for smaller volumes, allowing multiple shipments to share container space while paying strictly by volume or weight.
Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) licensing ensures strict adherence to U.S. shipping laws, published transparent tariffs, financial bonding protection, and documented service standards. It protects overseas buyers from unauthorized surcharges and operational negligence.
Demurrage and detention fees are minimized by submitting accurate commercial invoices, packing lists, and ISF filings prior to vessel arrival, ensuring immediate customs clearance and pre-arranged harbor drayage trucking.
