Cost Of Shipping A Container To Brazil

How Much Does Shipping a Container Cost to Brazil?

Shipping a container to another country can be quite a hassle. You face different laws and customs regulations. Three Movers will be there to ensure your receptacle gets to Brazil without a hitch. We will provide you with the right size crates to fit all the items. Because of our experience in international shipping, we are uniquely qualified to advise you on the duties you may expect on arrival in Brazil.

Factors That Affect the Price

When Three Movers sends you the quote for hauling to Brazil, you may wonder what factors led to that amount. Carrying costs depend on five primary factors: the transport type, distance, the time of the year, the weight and volume of the items, and the destination port.

While most of these factors are self-explanatory, you may wonder what time of year affects prices. August, September, January, and February mark the high season for international carriage. If you can, make sure to schedule your shipping date outside of these months.

Each port has service and custom fees that will affect the expense of sending your container. The professionals at Three Movers will guide you to the most convenient destination port from your origin port, minimizing costs without inconveniencing you.

Other additional factors that may affect the relocating Price include:

• Insurance: There are risks associated with shipping a receptacle overseas, and insurance ensures you will be compensated if anything happens.
• Custom fees: Once your crate is in Brazil, it will be subjected to terminal handling charges and port service fees.
• Inspections: While only a small percentage of containers are physically inspected, yours may be chosen for inspection. The charges incurred will be added to your cost in such a case.
• General Rate Increase (GRI): These rates fluctuate based on operational prices. Consider the rates when choosing your shipping date.

Which Size of Hauling Container Works Best for Me?

When you select a shipping container, you can choose a 20-ft or a 40-ft. If you move the contents of a three-bedroom house or something smaller, the 20-ft container will meet your needs. The 4-ft crates work for anything above that, starting from a four-bedroom home.

You might wonder if you will have to pay for the whole container even if your items leave plenty of room.

In international shipping, we have two terms relevant to this question. The first is Full Container Load (FCL), and the second is Less Than Container Load (LCL). When you select the LCL option, you will split the cost of a receptacle with other customers who will use it. Say you are moving the items from your one-bedroom house. The LCL option will be perfect since the items will leave plenty of room in the 20-foot crates. If you have enough items to fit a box of either size, FCL is your best bet.

Understanding the Different Types

The four modes of cargo transport are air, sea, truck, and rail. Transporting containers by truck or train is impractical because of the long distances involved in making the trip from the United States to Brazil. You'll have to decide whether to ship your goods via airplane or boat.

Ocean freight shipment is the best option for saving on conveyance expenses. As a bonus, taking a ship instead of a plane reduces your environmental impact by preventing the release of carbon dioxide.

If your decision is based on speed, air freight is for you. Using air shipping, your container will arrive in Brazil in 1-3 days, while ocean hauling will take 2-8 weeks.
