You don't need to take care of these details. We can take care of the transport and ship the container to Port Qasim. The Master B/L is the document needed to negotiate the Letter of Credit and it evidences that the shipment has taken place. Hope this is of help. Krgds

To ship your cargo in 20' container, you need to know your cargo measurement whether it can fit in. If the cargo is less than the 20' space by half, you may consider moving it by LCL (Less cargo Load). The charges will be calculated by the volume you intend to ship. You may enggage Freight fowarder agent to assist you in this. They are specialist in this field, will provide advise and solution to ship your cargo.

Master B/L, is a shipping documents issued by Liners. This documents is important for the buyer to clear the cargo. Sometimes buyer will get House B/L from freight forwarders if they enggage one.

As for shipping by air, you may want to consider if your cargo urgent needed by the other parties. The freight for shipping by air is relative expensive since it is calculated by weight. If your cargo is heavy and not urgent, is advisable that you ship by sea. It will save your cost.

If you need more info, please contact me.

Dear friend,

To ship one 20' container ,you should tell the shipping agency where is the cargo ,what is the cargo ,what is the trade term ,which port ship to and when is cargo ready .Your shipping agency can  make quotation according to these info and arrange shippment for you.

If bulk cargo more than one CBM,you could also choose sea shippment to save money .This way is LCL .it always issues house b/l .

If any quesiton,pls contact me freely!

Best regards!

Shipping agency

20' FCL is not acceptable for air freighters. You should do by road or sea. Just do as follows:

- Make ready your goods to ship.

- Call shipping agency to discuss pricing in all subjects (domestic freight, handling, crane/ forklift or wormanship fees)

- Load your goods to shippers vehicle.

- Make a policy of insurance for domestic transport).

- Now your goods at port.

You can contact with the shipping agency, they will tell you everything, you just give them the all document what they need.

If you ship by air , it's very expensive for the freight charge

You can call a forwarder or go directly to the shipping line. It is however better to ask for a quote from three forwarders to evaluate your costings. You can even give them the specifics of the goods such as value, dimension, weight and packing and request them to give you the best possible option to ship your cargo. If you have a very good forwarder you sure can get the best rate and best mode of transport.
