Guyana Container Shipping Cost

Here is the detail of the shipping cost from the origin port to Guyana!

The cost to ship a container to Guyana can range widely, and this is due to several factors. There are factors like the size of the container to be shipped, the number of containers, the distance between other countries, and many other factors.

If you choose to work with Three Movers, you will get the best deal possible. Shipping a container to Guyana just got better.

Factors That Affect The Cost Of Shipping To Guyana

There are five main factors that would affect the cost of shipping a container to Guyana. These factors are:

  1. The volume and weight of the items to be shipped. An increase in weight or volume will lead to an increase in cost.
  2. The type of transportation used. Transportation of cargo by air is faster but will increase the cost of shipping when compared to shipping by sea.
  3. Distance. The distance from the original country to Guyana will affect the cost of shipping.
  4. The destination port. Import fees in Guyana range from 5% to 20% of the cost of the cargo, the insurance on the shipment, and the freight.

Which Size Of Shipping Container Works Best For Me?

Knowing the appropriate size of a shipping container that will meet your shipping needs can be confusing. Fortunately for you, we did the math.

The contents of a three-bedroom house can fit into a 20ft shipping container, assuming the house occupants weren't hoarders.

Alternatively, a 20ft shipping container can contain 50 fridges or 100 washing machines. If you know your intended cargo is more than this estimation, it would be a good idea to look into using a 40ft container.

These estimations assume your items will fill the Container. This kind of shipping is called Full Container Load (FCL). There are situations where a person's cargo doesn't serve a container. Three Movers has provisions for that, and it is called Less Than Container Load (LCL). In LCL, shipments from different clients are aggregated into a single container and exported. The cost of shipping in LCL is calculated by cubic meters.

Understanding The Different Types Of Freight Shipping

Ships, airplanes, trucks, and trains are the main modes of conveyance for cargo. Transport options 1 and 2 are the most practical for global shipping. While sending goods to Guyana, shippers have the option of using either the sea or the air to carry their wares. Shipping methods are selected in accordance with the nature of the shipment.

Shipping a container to Guyana is commonly done by sea. The container is transported by sea, and it arrives at the seaport where it is offloaded, cleared by the authorities, and then sent to the intended destination, usually by road.

There is also the option of freight transportation by air. It can be quicker than sea transportation, but it is usually more expensive. Smaller items, or items that are time-sensitive, will benefit from freight by air.

Additional Shipping Costs

There are usually additional shipping costs when shipping containers anywhere. The additional shipping costs to expect are:

  • Insurance: Insuring items add to the overall cost of shipping.
  • Custom fees: Guyana has import fees ranging from 5% to 20%, and that excludes the 14% VAT placed on all items in the country. These are additional shipping costs to keep in mind.
  • Inspection: You might be charged for the assessment of the shipped items.
  • General Rate Increase (GRI): This is an adjustment of freight rates across specific trade routes. If the demand for shipping on the Guyana route increases, shipping costs might also increase.
  • Delivery Times: The delivery times can add to shipping costs. If a client requires express shipping, there will be additional costs.

The cost range of shipping one car to Guyana is between $1400 and $2200. Additional charges for the actual shipping, insurance, import taxes, and other fees vary depending on how many cars, what type of car you are moving, etc. Getting an estimate is best done by getting at least 3-4 quotes from reputable moving companies.

Some companies will want to make an assessment of the car before giving you a quote. That is usually done by sending a representative to view your vehicle and inspect it for damage. This can help determine what shipping method best suits the car; however, it may also increase the cost. You should contact several moving companies in order to get the best price.

What is the cost of shipping a container from Guyana to the USA?

The cost of shipping a container from Guyana to the USA will vary depending on the size of the Container. The larger, and therefore more expensive option is a 20'container. According to one US car dealer's site, this Container can hold up to 12,000 pounds or about 1-2 cars. The price for shipping this Container seems to range between $1500-$2000.

This price is the cost of shipping one 20'container from Guyana to Port Elizabeth, New Jersey (location for one of the US's largest container ports), which will then be transferred to another ship for shipment to the final destination. This will usually add around $500 more in costs.

According to a quote from a large shipping company, the cost of shipping a 20'container from Guyana to the USA is approximately $3,200, while the cost for 40'containers seems to be about $4,300-$5,300. This price depends on how much space you have in your Container because larger containers can hold more.

TYPES OF FREIGHT SHIPPING

What is air freight?

The cost of air freight is significantly more than that of ocean freight. A 40ft container can be shipped via air for around $2000-3000 USD, depending on the volume and weight of your shipment. Air Freight shipments arrive within 5-7 days at their destination.

Shipping a container by air is generally not practical for most shipments as the cost is much higher than that of shipping via sea.

What is land freight?

For cargo that will be offloaded at the foreign port, the freight cost is calculated using a combination of two factors: volume and weight.

The formula for calculating cost is to multiply the length of the container times width times height in feet (length x width x height) then divide by 166. For example, if you have a 20-foot container that is 9 feet tall, the volume would be 20x9x9 = 1,080 cubic feet. The cost of shipping a 20-foot container to Guyana would typically range from $850 to CAD 1,100.

Generally, if you ship items by land freight, it is less costly than air transportation due to discounted prices. But while ships don't take as long to deliver, they can be rough on some items. For example, the motion of the seas can cause small things to shift around and break or even damage other more fragile items unless they are adequately packaged and secured before shipping.

Shipping goods by land is also more susceptible to unforeseen delays than shipping goods by air, resulting in some merchandise ending up taking longer to reach its destination. Some of the most common routes for land freight include Southeast Asia to Europe, the Eastern United States to Western Europe, China, and India to Eastern Canada.

What is sea freight?

Sea freight is the transport of goods by sea, typically on cargo ships, and is the most cost effective and cheapest way of shipping. Although cargo ship sizes vary greatly, they are usually quite large due to economies of scale. Cargo shipped on smaller vessels (such as bulk carriers or tankers) may also be ocean freight.
