International Shipping FAQ

1. Can any company offer the public International Ocean Container Shipping Services? 

No! The industry is regulated by the Federal Maritime Commission for ocean shipping and every company offering ocean shipping must be licensed by the FMC and have a bond in place.  Air Parcel Express, Inc. (APX) has two licenses. We are both a NVOCC and a Freight Forwarder.   The TSA and the FAA regulate air cargo in the USA.  APX is fully licensed as an I.A.C. and trained to handle air cargo shipments from any airport in the USA to worldwide destinations.  APX operates all cargo aircrafts from Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas and Miami.  APX operates feeder routes from all other airports in the USA.  Never pay a broker for ocean shipping.  Your contract and payment should always be with the NVOCC.

 

2. How do I receive an instant shipping quote on the website?

1) Full Container Load International Shipping Calculator (FCL) 

2)  Less Than Container Load International Shipping Calculator (LCL)

 3) International AIR CARGO Shipping Calculator    4) Roll on - Roll Off (RO-RO)

4. How do I reserve a space on the ship or on the aircraft?

If you are live on the system just proceed by clicking on shipping forms and BOOK IT ONLINE. The information gathered on the online quote will be transferred to the shipping form.  You can also call us and one of our representatives can assist you in person ... or you can use the links hereunder and fax them to the office or submit them online.

FCL Shipping Documents LCL Shipping Document

Air Cargo Shipping Documents  /  RO/RO Document

These links are sent with your quote via email.  Please submit your booking request online as it simplifies documentation and prevents errors on the phone.  A copy of the form will be sent to you as soon as its submitted.  If you require changes after the booking request has been submitted you can reply to the email with the corrections. 

5. How much time do I have to load my container and is the cargo safe?

The first 2 hours are free of charge. Every hour thereafter is $100.00 per hour.  If you are loading a car you will need to make your own arrangements with a flat bed tow truck.  They are usually $45.00 per hour and can load a car in less than an hour.  We use HIGH Security Seals FROM RELCOR

6. Can you take the shipment from my house?  Do I take my goods to your warehouse?

On the FCL quotes we bring the container to your house and pricing is shown on the FCL service as Drayage to your door and is calculated by the mileage from the port, or the rail road ramp if its an inland origin to your loading area.  We can pickup LCL cargo on normal trucks or Lift Gate Trucks for residential pickups.  See our Warehouse Charges

 

 

7. Can send fragile goods?

Yes but you are responsible if you choose to pack it yourself and insurance may not cover. See our insurance conditions. Insurance  You can employ local crating services to crate or pack your goods or Crating and Packing. Typically the crating company will take the items from your home and crate them in their shop.  Once crated we will instruct them to deliver the crates to our terminal or we can pickup.  Wood Export Regulations    /   Pallets Source

YES if shipping via LCL and No if shipping via FCL, but all furniture for imports to the USA MUST BE PACKED.

You will be given a booking number prior to cargo acceptance.  To get a booking number and the address for the warehouse please submit a booking request online.  In most cases you can deliver within 24 hrs of booking receipt.  LIST OF TERMINALS IN THE USA

As per FMC Rules, we need to file every accepted booking rate prior to accepting cargo.  This formality secures the rate from any increases after cargo is tendered. It is the way the Federal Government regulates the industry.

In both LCL and FCL a formal BOOKING CONFIRMATION will be sent to you via e-mail containing the BOOKING NUMBER and confirmation for the delivery of your container FCL or confirmation on the LAST RECEIVING DATE for a LCL booking.  You must place the number on every piece if you are shipping LCL and on any shipping documents you submit such as  Packing List - Invoice

12. Is my export legal?

SUMMARY

NEVER PAY A BROKER FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING VIA OCEAN FREIGHT - IT IS FORBIDDEN BY FEDERAL LAW FOR BROKERS TO ACCEPT PAYMENT OR QUOTE ON BEHALF OF AN OCEAN TRANSPORTATION INTERMEDIARY O.T.I. or N.V.O.C.C. (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier).

THE OCEAN QUOTE SHOULD ALWAYS CONTAIN THE OTI or NVOCC's Federal License Number or FMC# 019153NF and not a DOT or any other type of license as ocean freight is regulated by only the FMC (Federal Maritime Commission) http://www.fmc.gov

SHARE SPACE if you think you do not need a full container ... AND ... If you have furniture you will need to CRATE IT or use a FULL CONTAINER.

Choose the nearest origin and the nearest destination city ... You can obtain pricing in seconds by using the link. MEASURE YOUR CARGO for LCL and don't worry about weight ... you can estimate the weight on both LCL and FCL as we do not charge by weight.  (enter 1000 pounds for LCL and up to 40000 pounds for FCL and the system will quote you right on your screen

You can pack all your goods yourself in any type of strong boxes or crate and I have listed sources for this below.

We can also arrange the entire loading if you prefer.
