Cost Of Shipping A Container To Hungary

How Much Does It Cost To Ship A Container To Hungary?

Shipping a container to Hungary might look daunting. Even though there are many things to consider, what is normally considered first, is the cost of shipping.

It is obvious that the size of what you want to haul and the distance from your current location to Hungary will affect the cost of relocating a container there.

Three Movers hauls cargo to Hungary. We will also help you understand what shipping to an international location will entail.

Factors That Affect The Cost Of Hauling

The following factors affect the cost of shifting:

  • The volume and weight of the cargo: The more the volume of your items, the higher the cost.
  • Distance: The farther away you are from your destination, the higher the cost.
  • Type of transportation used: Air transportation of cargo is usually more expensive than freight by sea. This might be different in the case of Hungary since it is landlocked.
  • Destination port: Different ports have different port fees on cargo. This can affect the cost of shipping.
  • Peak Period: The picking period for relocating is from mid-August to mid-October. Relocating within this time will affect the general cost of shipping.

These factors are the main factors that affect the primary cost of transporting, but there are also additional costs of shipping like:

  • Insurance
  • Custom fees
  • Inspection
  • General Rate Increase (GRI)
  • Delivery times

Which Size Of Container Works Best For Me?

Assuming you want to haul the equivalent of 100 washing machines, a 20ft container is appropriate.

This is also the size of the container required to ship the contents of a 3-bedroom apartment. If your intended cargo is more than this, then a 40ft container will be a better choice.

Understanding The Different Types Of Freight Transportation

In a common scenario, freight transportation is usually by air or sea alone to the ports. In the case of Hungary, however, land transportation is just as important because the country is landlocked. Airfreight transportation would be a useful option if you have cargo that you want to arrive at as quickly as possible.

Sea freight transportation, on the other hand, is very useful for moving goods and also personal household items. It is the most cost-effective method of transportation.

In the case of Hungary, train freight transportation is important as well and is useful in transporting items from neighboring countries. This mode of transportation is possible because Hungary is landlocked.

How much does it cost to Relocate?

On the basis of year-round sea transport, it can be said that the cost of shipping is around EUR 1.500-1.700 per 20 ft container and around EUR 2,000 - 2,300 per 40 ft high cube container.

The cost to hauling might be higher during the summer months, due to increased demand for seaborne transport.

What are the different major ports for transportation?

Hungary lies along several important commercial sea routes and is served by cargo ports at Budapest, Dunaújváros, Fonyódand Rijeka. Budapest is the country's principal inland port and has easy rail connections with central Europe and nearby countries such as Austria, Slovakia, Romania, and Serbia.

WHAT IS AIR FREIGHT?

AIR FREIGHT is the transportation of goods by aircraft. The majority of air cargo shipments are completed using standard cargo pallets or containers and most major airports have special areas for handling these larger packages.

Airfreight charges vary greatly depending on:

- Total shipment weight (TARE) and dimensional weight (DIM) – both are used in freight rates calculation.

- Destination - it is necessary to use the so-called "route" when calculating charges. You will have to choose among many possible routes, which are equally efficient for your shipment, but also vary greatly in price.

- The time of year – some routes are more expensive during certain periods of the year when the demand for air freight is higher.

- The time your shipment spends in transit - Airlines normally offer two main types of service: EXW (ex-works) and FCA (free carrier). Under EXW, you are responsible for delivering your goods to the nearest airport while under FCA, the seller pays for the cost of delivery from the airport to your doorstep. CPT – CARRIAGE PAID TO – is a cost-effective way to move cargo by air, as you can have your goods delivered directly to their destination.

WHAT IS SEA FREIGHT?

This is the cheapest and most popular way to send containers from overseas. It takes 10-15 days. Sea freight or ocean freight is the transport of goods by water. It has historically been the cheapest method of transporting large quantities of goods, it remains one of the most economic modes for long-distance transportation in many situations. Sea freight charges depends on:

  • The total weight of your container
  • The volume (cubic meters) of the container
  • Where you're sending it from
  • How far away Hungary is (measured in nautical miles, the distance from nearest sea)
  • What's in your container - goods, household items, etc.
  • In general, sending a 20ft standard type shipping container full of personal effects from Singapore to Hungary costs between £1,500 and £3,000. If you're sending goods, heavy equipment, or vehicles to Hungary, the cost will be between £5,000 and £10,000, plus extra for postage.
