Pack all your merchandise in boxes or crates. NO loose/unpackaged freight will be accepted unless its moved on our small parcel service. Refrain from using bags or flimsy boxes. In addition, each box/crate must be properly sealed. Palletizing is required when shipping multiple pieces. If a single piece is over 75 Lbs you must also palletize that piece of cargo. When multiple boxes or crates are shipped loose, your risk for loss increases therefore all pieces should be secured to the pallet using shrink wrap or banding. It is also suggested to use cardboard or another protective layer around the cargo prior to shrink wrapping or banding. Other Freight will be consolidated with yours so ensure your cargo is properly packed and protected. IF you are shipping as LCL ocean freight we highly recommend crating your cargo as your shipment will be loaded and stacked with other cargo and endure a long Journey. All International shipments must use heat-treated wood with an ISPM 15 stamp in order to kill harmful insects. It must be stamped with the appropriate IPPC logo. Any untreated wood will be rejected for international transport. This applies to but is not limited to the following: pallets, crates, wooden boxes and pieces of wood used to support or brace cargo.

All air freight is transported under TSA regulations which stipulate that any shipment weighing over 150 lbs or large enough to house a human, be banded 4 ways. Barrels, constructed of plastic or metal, be metal banded 4 ways. Any pallet built to a height where the load could become unstable in transit, be plastic wrapped and banded 4 ways. All combustible engines must be ”Drained and Flushed” and have a letter on company letterhead attesting that the engine was drained and flushed.
