How Much Does It Cost To Ship A Container To France?
France Container Shipping Cost
Several factors influence the cost of transporting a container to France. There are obvious things to consider, such as the distance to go and the amount of your cargo, but there are also other things to think about. Three Movers can assist you with this difficult task, and you will be glad you chose us. We can assist you in understanding all of the aspects that go into these projects so that you can make an informed decision. France is one of the nations to which we transport containers and requesting a quote is the first step in determining the cost of this procedure. However, there are a few factors you need to know to better comprehend the price.
Factors That Affects The Cost Of Shipping
Of all factors affecting the cost of shipping a container, five factors are considered the most important. The distance to be traveled, the weight or volume of your goods, the mode of transportation, the destination port's fees, and the time of year are all factors to consider.
- The distance to be traveled: A quick trip across the Mediterranean will cost you more than shipping your belongings halfway around the world. Whether you're moving from port to port or door to door will also affect the cost of your move.
- The weight or volume of your goods: it's not technically one or the other because it depends on the type of delivery you choose. In sea freight, the dimensions of your items are most important, whereas in air freight, the weight of your goods is more vital. The more items you have, the more it will cost to ship them to your new residence.
- The mode of transportation: Will your cargo be flown or shipped? The mode of transportation affects the price as well as the time it takes for your belongings to arrive. Air freight is usually faster and more expensive than sea freight, so if you have the time, go with the sea. When compared to air freight, sea freight is frequently five times cheaper.
- The destination port's fees: Every country has to charge customs taxes and service fees. They do, however, vary per country. An import tax of 20% of the entire value of your item is charged on shipments to France as at 2020.
- The time of the year: Peak seasons exist in international shipping, just as they do in every other industry. Because demand is higher during the peak season, delivery prices are usually higher.

Which Size Of Shipping A Container Works Best For Me?
The 20ft and 40ft shipping containers are the only two types of shipping containers to be aware of. This is the case since the rest (of which there are many) are largely for corporate or industrial moves.
A 20-foot container can usually hold three bedrooms' worth of belongings, whereas a 40-foot container can hold twice as much. A 40-foot container is a better value for money if you have a lot of goods to transport.
FCL And LCL shipment
If the volume of items you want to carry is little, you may not need to pay for the full container. For those who only have a little amount of cargo, Three Movers has created a mechanism that allows numerous clients to share the space of a single container for people with modest amounts of cargo. This is known as an LCL (Less Than Container Load) or part-load shipment.
The contents of a one-bedroom flat may usually be moved in an LCL, but amounts greater than that will almost always require the use of a full container. This is known as an FCL (Full Container Load) or sole-use shipment.
Additional Shipping Costs
- Custom duties
- Container inspection fees
- General Rate Increase
- Quarantine fees
- Inland delivery charges
- Insurance

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a transport document that stands as evidence of the contract of carriage entered between a carrier and the shipper or cargo owner. It is issued by the carrier to the shipper to serve as proof of the number and condition of the cargo before shipping. It also serves as an evidentiary document that the carrier received goods from a shipper.
A bill of lading is very important because it carries the name of the consigned recipient of the cargo. If you have misplaced yours or cannot provide it, you must take some necessary steps. You will need to place a local advertisement indicating the loss and the nullification of the missing bill of lading. A court order should be secured by you authorizing the carrier to release the cargo for an amount approved by the court. You should also send a letter of indemnity to the carrier and may be required to pay certain fees as a result of the loss.
State laws prohibit certain items due to the level of risk or dangers of their transportation. Some of them require special conditions or permits from the government. French laws prohibit the importation of ammunition, guns, animals, chemicals, plants, and other types of combustible items.
Shipping taxes are tariffs imposed by ports for maintenance purposes and they are calculated by the percentage of items. Shipping duties on the other hand are imposed for regulatory purposes and to curb excess importation.
A freight forwarder, a broker, and a non-vessel operating common carrier are different roles in the transport process. However, one individual or company can carry out the three functions on behalf of the cargo owner. The NVOCC is the carrier that is responsible for the transportation of the cargo from the seller to the buyer or from one location to another. It issues the bill of lading to a freight forwarder acting on behalf of the cargo owner or directly to the cargo owner. The freight forwarder is an individual or company who acts as an agent and assists the cargo owner with storage, freight rate negotiations, and the processing of shipping documents required for shipping. Meanwhile, a broker is mainly concerned with the customs clearing of the cargo. A broker may also assist in connecting the cargo owner with a shipping line or freight forwarder.
Container capacity varies according to type. Common shipping containers include 20ft and 40ft containers. Ideally, a 20ft container can contain about 25000kg of items, while its maximum load capacity is 30,400kg. A 40ft container also has a maximum gross weight of 30,400kg.
Accidents can occur at any stage of transportation. They are neither planned nor predicted which is why insurance is necessary. It will cover the risk part of the business and ensure that you do not incur any form of loss.
You must understand the meaning of the terms of full cargo load (FCL) and less than container load (LCL). Full cargo load means that you have the privacy of using an entire container while less than container load means that you will share the container with other users. By using the container alone, your cargo is transported directly to your port without unloading or transshipping at other ports. So, your cargo will arrive quickly and directly. The other option of less than cargo load involves sharing with other clients whose destination may be different from that of your cargo. Shipments may stop at other ports to unload containers and drop off items before continuing to your port. This extends the time that it will take for your cargo to arrive.
You can easily estimate the space based on the capacity of your cargo and tell if you will need extra space for it. You can request our assistance and we will help you with the estimate based on our experience. You'll need a 10' truck to carry your container since the size of shipping containers is 8' or thereabout.
It gives comfort to know the location of your cargo and monitor its progress. You can use the container tracking system to track your cargo. You will need your cargo information and documentation numbers to track your cargo.
