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.

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!

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.
