How would you like to ship your item(s)? (What is this?This is a brief guide to the most common modes of transport.

Air freight is typically for smaller, more lightweight goods, or urgently required goods which must be received as soon as possible. Large, heavy cargoes are typically transported via sea instead, as heavier shipments become prohibitively expensive.

LCL stands for "less container load". It means that the goods are not of sufficient size to warrant the booking of an entire container for their transport, and so many small batches of goods are transported in one container together. This is the most economical option for smaller shipments.

FCL stands for "full container load", meaning that the goods are to be transported in one container, dedicated only to those particular goods. It is more economical to book whole containers for larger shipments. There are several types of container. Some common ones are:

· FCL 20GP, which stands for 20 foot general-purpose container, generally with a maximum capacity of 20-30 cubic metres (depending on the shape of the goods)

· FCL 40GP, which stands for 40 foot general-purpose container, generally with a maximum capacity of 40-60 cubic metres (depending on the shape of the goods)

· FCL 20HC and FCL 40HC are variations on GP containers, with HC standing for "high-cube". These containers are slightly taller and add 5-10 cubic metres capacity to standard GP containers.

· FCL 20Reefer and FCL 40Reefer containers are refrigerated containers meant for foodstuffs (or any other cargo which must be kept cold).

Terms of Trade (What is this?Terms of trade help

The terms of trade when goods are being transported from one country to another determines whether the sender of the goods (consignor) or the receiver of the goods (consignee) is responsible for the different financial aspects of the transfer, and precisely when responsibility for risk of the loss or damage of the goods is shifted from the sender to the receiver.

There is a standardised list of three-letter abbreviation terms, known as incoterms (international commercial terms) which is maintained and periodically updated by the International Chamber of Commerce. It is very important to be clear on the terms of transport, to avoid confusion and/or disputes between the consignor (sender) and the consignee (receiver). It is standard practice in international commerce for consignors and consignees to form an agreement on the incoterm of a trade as part of the overall agreement on the purchase of the goods themselves.

An article on the particulars of all incoterms can be found at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incoterm). A very brief summary of the more common terms can be found below. If further information or clarification is required, don't hesitate to ask us.

CIP - Carriage & Insurance Paid

The consignor is responsible for paying for insurance against the consignee's risk of loss or damage, and all costs associated with the physical transport of the goods (including ocean freight or air freight: the fee oweable to the shipping line or airline for carrying the goods as cargo in transit), to the specified delivery address of the consignee. The consignee is responsible for paying the import duty and GST, as well as customs clearance.

The consignee becomes responsible for risk of loss/damage & additional costs after the goods are handed over to the first carrier for transport.

DDP - Delivered Duty Paid

The consignor is under the most obligations under a DDP agreement, bearing all risks and costs (including insurance, import duty and GST) right up to the point of delivery to the consignee's specified delivery address.

CFR - Cost and Freight (sea only)

The consignor is responsible for paying the costs to transport the freight to the destination port only (including ocean freight). Insurance, local port charges, customs clearance, and import GST/Duty are not included and are the responsibility of the consignee.

The consignee becomes responsible for the risks of loss/damage & additional costs as soon as the goods are on board the ship in the port of origin.

FOB - Free on board (sea only)

This term may have a different implied meaning depending on location, despite the ICC standardisation. Generally though, it is identical to CFR in all respects except that the consignee is responsible for paying the ocean freight.

EXW - Exworks

The consignor is under the least obligations under an EXW agreement. Essentially, the consignor makes the goods available at their premises, and the consignee is responsible for all risk and cost thenceforth.
