International Shipping Container Dimensions
International Shipping Containers are an efficient way to transport goods, but your equipment must fit inside the container and through the door opening, which is smaller than the interior dimensions. Use this link to ACL or your shipping line's website for dimensions of different types of containers, or call us for help.
Air Cargo Dimensions
The maximum dimensions for air cargo vary by airplane and, therefore, by city of departure. The tallest crate that can currently fly from MSP is 64" and the tallest that can fly from Chicago is 117". This Link to the DELTA air cargo web site may also be useful to help you understand air frieght options. Call Total Export discuss ways to ship large items via air cargo.
Heat Treated Wood Requirements
Many countries now require that all wood used to package an imported product be heat treated to prevent international infestations and and stamped with a valid NELMA certificate number to certify the heat treat process. Total Export uses certified lumber and has a heat treat stamp to comply with all these regulations. See the attached PDF from NELMA for a list of countries that require the heat treated wood, and call us with your questions.
