Yes, rates are sourced directly from contracted carriers and updated regularly. The validity date on each rate card confirms the rate is active. Rates may change due to GRI (General Rate Increases) and market conditions.
For shipments over roughly 13-15 CBM, FCL (Full Container Load) is usually cheaper and faster. Below that volume, LCL at per-CBM pricing is more economical. Compare the rate cards on this page to find the break-even point for your cargo volume.
Peak season for China exports runs September-October (pre-holiday restocking) and January (pre-Chinese New Year). Book 3-4 weeks ahead during peak season and about 2 weeks in normal periods to secure container space and avoid Peak Season Surcharges (PSS).
Standard shipping documents: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading (B/L), and certificate of origin. Certain destinations also require fumigation certificates or import permits. SHAQ Logistics prepares and verifies all documents for your shipment.
We quote under all major Incoterms: EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP, and DDP. Most buyers choose FOB (we handle origin charges and ocean freight) or DDP (door-to-door, all-inclusive). Tell us your preferred term and we will structure the quote accordingly.
Cargo insurance is optional but strongly recommended, typically costing 0.1-0.3% of the cargo value. Ocean carrier liability is limited under international conventions, so insurance protects against loss or damage in transit. We can arrange all-risk coverage on request.
