Q: What does "less than container load" mean?
A: "Less than container load" is a shipping term referring to the quantity of personal effects or commercial product being shipped that would not be enough to fill a standard 20-foot ocean shipping container.
Q: How long will the shipment take?
A: The transit time of an ocean shipment depends on the port of departure and the port of arrival. For example, shipping from the East Coast to Europe generally takes two weeks, whereas shipping from the West Coast to Europe takes four to five weeks.
Vessel sailings are regularly scheduled and we can always provide you with the estimated dates of departure and arrival of our next vessels. However, these dates are estimated and the actual departure or arrival may occur a few days earlier or later than scheduled.
Q: What if i need my shipment sooner?
A: Uniworld International offers alternatives to coincide with both your schedule and your budget. Air shipments will generally arrive to their destination within one week of the cargo pickup or delivery.
Q: Do I need marine insurance?
A: Optional marine insurance provides coverage against both loss and damages during ocean transit. Uniworld will obtain marine insurance coverage for your shipments upon request (additional charges apply).
Q: Will there be other charges due at the destination port?
A: Apart from duties and taxes, there will be port handling charges upon arrival at the destination port. These charges cover terminal handling/off-loading and documentation fees for your vehicle. Uniworld can provide you with contact information for clearing agents at each destination to prepare you with this information ahead of time.
