Please help us to ensure your goods are delivered safely by using proper packing and bracing. Make sure that all containers are correctly sealed prior to departure and that the seal number appears on your Bill of Lading instructions.
Also, ensure legally required documentation accompanies the container door-to-door. (One of the most essential documents is the container packing certificate.) We follow specialised procedures when shipping hazardous cargo.
