Our international moving company offers a few different shipping options for sending household goods to Germany. Container services come in two flavors: shared and single.
When utilizing a shared service, you charge for the shipped volume. And not everyone has sufficient goods enough fill a 40-foot container, and this strategy is frequently used.
If you’re merely relocating out of a one-bedroom house, there’s a strong chance you won’t fill your container, so there’s no use investing any more than you have to. We can complete several consolidations to Germany each month because of our volume and expertise. As a result, you won’t even notice too much about your purchases.
You can send your car with your furniture, household items, equipment, and other personal belongings through container shipping.
What does it cost to move to Germany in container shipping?
The cost of shipping to Germany depends on a variety of variables. In addition to the port of origin and destination you choose, they will also rely on the container type you require, the dimensions of your goods, or the Incoterm to be used.
Approximated cist for Full container load. (FCL)
Your household goods will cost $274.00 for a 20-foot container and $320.00 for a 40-foot container to ship to Germany. However, this is only an approximate estimate, and some transfers to Germany have been near twice as expensive as this figure. Numerous variables, like where you now reside in the United States, where you are moving to in Germany, and how many things you are shipping, will affect the cost of your overseas relocation.
Your cost will probably be greater than normal if you move from California to Germany with many possessions. Alternately, you might pay less if you relocate to Germany from New York City (closer to Germany than California) and only bring the minimal requirements.
You cannot determine how much your move to Germany will cost until you acquire your quotes because these elements affect your price. Even those quotations won’t be unchangeable. Only after receiving a documented moving quote will you be able to determine the actual cost of your move.
Approximated cost for Less Container Load. (LCL)
LCL shipping allows shipments that do not fill an entire container to be delivered to Germany. Boxes, pallets, and other less-than-container goods weighing 250 pounds to 20.000 pounds should be shipped at the following approximate cost:
LCL: $32.70 for each CBM.
Personal belongings: $289
Household goods& personal items: $297.40
The transit time for moving to Germany.
Your move will take a certain amount of time, depending on some things. It usually takes three weeks to sail or be on the sea from the east coast to Germany. Getting to everyone’s base ports from the west coast usually takes 30 days. Door-to-door shipping to Germany typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, while certain shipments may take more or less.
As international carriers, we try to stick to our estimates, but they should only be used as general guidelines.
Shipping a car to Germany in container shipping services.
Your automobile can be shipped in a 20- or 40-foot sole-use container, one of our combination container shipping options, or both. Your car will be carried alongside other vehicles in a 40-foot container for consolidated container service going to Germany. This is the most advantageous choice because the cost is shared among all shippers while maintaining container safety.
What kind of cargo is permitted to be shipped in a container?
Standard dry shipping containers are typically the best for carriers regarding dry cargo. They are not appropriate for perishable or delicate goods because they are available in various sizes and capacities but lack ventilation and refrigeration.
Standard containers are available in numerous sizes, ranging from 20 feet and 1,172 cubic feet per square meter (33.2 CBM) to 45 feet and 3,122 cubic feet per square meter (88.4 CBM). A shared container, however, can be an option if your cargo is low volume (LCL).
Documentation.
The countries engaged in the transaction are not the only ones who require shipping documentation. For example, the sort of cargo being sent or the chosen Incoterm are additional considerations when determining the necessary paperwork. Despite this, any typical shipping method will, for example, call for a commercial invoice, a packing list, and a Bill of Lading. Additional specifications for your shipment to Germany might be found here as well.
Additionally, if you export items to Germany, you might have to pay import duties and fees assessed on certain categories of imported goods. According to their type, import tariffs on shipments entering the country range from 0% to 7%.
