How Much Does It Cost To Ship A Container To Central African Republic?
Central African Republic Container Shipping Cost
There are numerous things that can go wrong on freight shipping voyages. Significant damage to goods in the container, losing the items to irresponsible handling, disruptions in the shipping routes, etc., are few names on a big list. Three Movers provides an easy solution for these problems by offering meticulous shipping services to the Central African Republic at affordable rates. Our international shipment liaisons are fully insured for a satisfying and secured client experience, from packing to unloading.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Shipping
There are multiple factors determining the final cost of a shipping assignment. Most people take only the volume or weight of the goods and the journey distance into account and calculate a wrong estimate for shipping of their container. It also depends on your choice of transport which may be air cargo or ocean cargo, the destination port in the Republic, and the time of the year (whether it’s peak season or the off season).
If you want to keep the costs minimal, avoid shipping your container during the peak season that lasts from August to September every year. The charges you will pay during the peak season are almost double to off-season costs.
Which size of shipping container works best for me?
If your shipping container is not concluding industrial moves, then there are basically two types of container sizes you can pick from – 20-foot and 40-foot. Needless to say, the 40ft container has more space that can easily hold the furniture or goods of a four-bedroom house or more. The smaller 20ft container is about the size of a single garage and can fit the contents of a three-bedroom house or 200 full-sized mattresses, for example. If no heavy vehicles are included in your list of items, you can comfortably go with the 20ft container.

Understanding the Different Types of Freight Transportation
You have two options to ship your container to the Central African Republic – through air or sea. The air freighting options are available, but they are very limited and expensive. If the urgency is not an issue, you can use the economical alternative of sea freighting to get your container shipped to the Bangui port.
Additional Shipping Costs
There are some additional shipping costs that you should take note of:
- Custom duties and taxes
- Container inspection fees
- General Rate Increase
- Inland delivery charges
- Quarantine fees
- Insurance for the container and goods inside
You can pass on the insurance for your goods but not for the container. Most container rental companies will lease you the container with the conditions that will require you to have it insured beforehand. If you decide to insure your goods, make sure to get one that will extend the protection to the new location they are shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions
If the container is loaded to its maximum capacity, the weight of the cargo must be distributed as evenly as possible over the floor area. This prevents the weight from being concentrated in a particular part of the floor area, increasing the chances of damage. Putting this into consideration, a 20ft container can carry a maximum weight of 44,000 lbs. and a 40ft container can carry a maximum of 44,500 lbs. This is based on an average. Individual carrying capacities of shipping containers can be determined by reading the tag on the door of containers placed by manufacturers.
Alcoholic beverages are prohibited from being shipped into the country. If you desire to import substantial quantities, a permit will have to be obtained. Restricted items are dogs, cats, foreign currency, weapons, ammunition, cameras, and film.
The bill of lading is a required document to move a freight shipment. The bill of lading functions as a receipt of freight services, a contract between a freight carrier and shipper, and a document of title for the receiver of the cargo. The bill of lading is a legally binding document providing the carrier with all the details needed to process the freight shipment and invoice it correctly. It also contains special instructions for the storage and transportation of specific items.
Shipping documents get missing or destroyed from time to time but, is it the end of the world if the original bill of lading gets missing? There are things that can be done if the bill of lading has been lost. However, these steps can be strenuous. They are:
1. Placing an advert in the local press stating that the original bill of lading has been lost or nullified.
2. A court order advising the carrier to deliver the goods to the owner of the goods for an amount determined by the court.
3. A letter of indemnity indemnifying the carrier from any liability under the outstanding original bill of lading.
4. Attaching a bank guarantee to the letter of indemnity to strengthen the legality of it.
The type of taxes and duties you may pay depends on what you are shipping to the country. Duty-free items are usually small packages that arrive by air transportation. Other duty-free items include printing materials, books, dictionaries, maps, and other printed items. Textiles and wheat flour are also duty-free items. None duty-free items are categorized into 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30% tariff categories depending on the item. For example, there is a 10% tariff on petroleum products and a 30% tariff on cigarettes.
First, cargo insurance is a necessary expense of conducting business with a transportation, logistics, or shipping company. Consider the consequence of forgoing this type of coverage. Cargo insurance is important because it protects against extensive damage or loss due to outside circumstances or external forces beyond the control of the shipper. A sweet spot for insurance coverage is when the insurance premium is less than the cost of replacing the product if it got lost or damaged.
The very nature of LCL (consolidation of several shippers' goods, processing multiple sets of documents per container, sorting goods per customer upon unloading) leads to longer transit times. This, however, is being tackled with certain express LCL shipping methods. So, the transit times of LCL aren’t consistently longer than FCL anymore. Still, in most cases, FCL shipping times are shorter because there is less paperwork and one destination for the cargo.
Normally, 20-foot storage containers require about 60 or more feet of clearance space. This is to help the delivery crew maneuver the container to a convenient position. 40-foot containers require about 100-150 feet or more. The total space you need will depend on the container size, type of truck, and equipment required. The service may need to use a forklift or crane to unload the container if there’s not enough space. This delivery method will cost you more than a basic truck delivery.
Yes, you can track your container while it is in transit. Most shipping companies offer tracking services. You should request tracking services as it gives you peace of mind knowing that the cargo is progressing towards its intended destination.
