Shipping
Terms, loading and transit times
We quote FOB by default because it keeps the freight choice in your hands. CIF and DDP are available if you would rather have one number to your door.
We deliver to the vessel at Shanghai or Ningbo. You nominate the forwarder and pay freight.
We book the vessel and pay freight to your discharge port. Insurance included.
You collect from our warehouse. Suitable if you already have a consolidator in China.
We handle freight, import duty and final delivery. Available for selected destinations.
Container capacity
How much fits in one container
Figures below assume 100 pieces per OPP bag and 100 bags per carton. Your packing will shift them slightly.
| Container | Volume | Cartons | Pieces |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20GP | ≈ 28 CBM | ≈ 900 – 1,000 | ≈ 9 – 10 million pcs |
| 40GP | ≈ 58 CBM | ≈ 1,900 – 2,100 | ≈ 19 – 21 million pcs |
| 40HQ | ≈ 68 CBM | ≈ 2,200 – 2,500 | ≈ 22 – 25 million pcs |
Weight limit is the binding constraint for dense bamboo, not volume. We confirm the exact load plan with the quotation.
