FAQs

The time taken to deliver goods via sea freight varies, depending on where the delivery is made and other factors. Get in touch with our team to know more.
Generally, sea freight is cheaper than air freight. Based on the weight of the shipment, the cost may increase. Also, importing heavier cargo through air will be much more expensive than by sea.
The restrictions on sea freight include enforcing strict container weight limits, increasing biosecurity checks on cargo from high-risk countries, etc. There are also regulations for dangerous goods, requiring proper paperwork, and a mandate to declare the container’s gross weight (VGM). These measures help ensure safety and protect local industries and the environment.
FCL shipments are more secure than LCL since it locks the goods in a container from the start to the destination. LCL provides less safety because your cargo is kept with other goods.

FCL rates are usually based on the size of the container whereas LCL charges depend on the total or volume weight of the goods – whichever is higher. The reason for this is that all cargoes of the same size may not have the same weight and vice versa.

The limit to shipping goods across the ocean differs depending on the products. If you require a specific number, get in touch with us and our support team will help you.
