WHAT DETAILS REQUIRE WHEN YOU NEED TO GET THE QUOTATION FROM BASENTON
To obtain an accurate freight quote for your ready goods, you should provide the following details to your freight forwarder or shipping company:
- Loading Port: The specific port where the cargo will be loaded onto the vessel. Include the city and country if necessary for clarity.
- Discharge Port: The port where the cargo will be discharged from the vessel. Again, include the city and country for precision.
- Goods Name: A detailed description of the goods being shipped. This is important for proper classification and to ensure compliance with shipping regulations and safety requirements.
- Volume: Specify whether the shipment is:
FCL (Full Container Load): Indicate if it's a 20-foot (20') or 40-foot (40') container, or if it's a specific type like a reefer (refrigerated) container.
LCL (Less than Container Load): Provide the total cubic meters (cbm) or weight of the cargo if it's an LCL shipment.
OOG (Out of Gauge): For oversized cargo, provide the dimensions (length, width, height) and weight.
- Cargo Ready Date: The date when the cargo will be ready for pickup at the loading port. This helps the shipping company to plan the logistics and ensure timely vessel booking.
By providing these details, the shipping company can calculate the freight cost, vessel schedules, and any additional services or equipment that may be required for the shipment.
