For larger shipments exported from Shantou and eastern Guangdong to Taiwan, China, full container load shipping is suitable for customers who require the exclusive use of a container or wish to reduce LCL warehouse handling and deconsolidation.

SUMMERWIN International Logistics can assist with FCL booking, empty-container pickup, factory loading, warehouse consolidation and loading, export customs declaration and shipping document coordination according to the cargo location, commodity details, container type, destination port and estimated shipping date.

Actual sailing schedules, routes, space availability, direct or transshipment arrangements and transit times must be confirmed according to the destination port, booking date and current carrier arrangements.

Who Is This Service For?

This service is suitable for:

Common Container Types

20-Foot General-Purpose Container

A 20GP container is commonly considered for general cargo with a relatively smaller volume and heavier weight. Suitability depends on the total weight, package dimensions, loading method and applicable transportation restrictions.

40-Foot General-Purpose Container

A 40GP container is suitable for larger cargo volumes that do not require additional internal height.

40-Foot High-Cube Container

A 40HQ container provides additional internal loading space and is suitable for toys, plastic products, household goods, packaging materials, textiles and other high-volume cargo.

The actual loading quantity must be calculated according to carton dimensions, pallets, cargo shape, weight distribution and the loading method. Theoretical container capacity alone should not be used.

Service Scope

1. FCL Ocean Freight Booking

Suitable FCL options can be checked according to the commodity name, container type, total cargo weight, loading address, estimated shipping date and destination port in Taiwan, China.

Quotation validity, sailing schedules and space availability may change. The final arrangement is subject to booking confirmation.

2. Empty-Container Pickup and Trucking

Empty-container pickup, factory trucking and laden-container return can be coordinated according to the loading address, factory operating hours, terminal requirements and applicable cutoff times.

Before trucking is arranged, the following details should be confirmed:

• Complete loading address
• Factory contact name and telephone number
• Cargo-ready time
• Estimated loading time
• Availability of suitable loading space
• Availability of forklifts, cranes or loading workers
• Access restrictions, height restrictions or other site conditions

Additional costs may occur if the cargo is not ready, loading takes longer than planned or the site is unsuitable for container operations. The loading plan should therefore be coordinated in advance.

3. Factory Container Loading

When all goods come from one factory and the site has suitable loading conditions, an empty container can be delivered directly to the factory.

Before loading, the package quantity, packaging, carton numbers, shipping marks and loading sequence should be checked. Heavy, fragile, mechanical or irregularly shaped cargo may require special weight-distribution and securing arrangements.

4. Multi-Supplier Consolidation and Loading

When goods come from several suppliers in Shantou, Chenghai, Chaozhou, Jieyang or nearby areas, the cargo can first be collected at a warehouse and loaded after all shipments arrive.

The package quantity, external packaging and shipping marks can be checked against the customer’s information. Goods from different suppliers should use clear order numbers or carton numbers to avoid confusion during loading.

5. Export Customs Declaration Coordination

We assist customers and suppliers in coordinating packing lists, commercial invoices, commodity descriptions, declaration details and supporting export documents.

Accurate information should be provided for the product name, material, use, brand, quantity, weight and declared value. Requirements may vary according to the actual commodity.

6. Container Loading Records

The container number, seal number, loading condition and relevant loading photographs can be recorded according to the customer’s requirements.

Special instructions concerning the loading sequence, carton direction, cargo securing or photography should be provided before loading begins.

7. Shipping Documents and Progress Updates

Customers can receive progress updates during booking, container pickup, loading, customs declaration and vessel departure, together with the applicable shipping documents.

Bill of lading details should be checked within the required time. Shipper and consignee information, cargo descriptions, package quantity, weight and other details are subject to the customer’s final confirmation.

Suitable Cargo Types

• Toys and toy components
• Plastic products
• Daily-use and household products
• Textiles and garments
• Ceramic products
• Packaging materials
• Hardware components

• General consumer goods

Whether cargo can be handled as general cargo depends on its properties, packaging, weight and applicable transportation requirements.

Batteries, liquids, powders, chemicals, magnetic materials and other special cargo properties must be declared during the quotation stage, together with the applicable supporting information.
