How Much Does It Cost Of Shipping A Container To Nepal?

Nepal Container Shipping Cost

You may run into some issues while transporting your goods across the border. You will have to produce legal papers, obtain permissions, and have your shipment inspected by customs once it reaches the border. Before the package is allowed into the country, an inspector will inspect the things within. All of this should not deter you because a reputable moving services firm such as Three Movers can help you ship your container to Nepal.

You've come to the right site if you're looking for a means to send your container to Nepal. This guide will walk you through the costs of shipping your container as well as the factors that influence them.

Factors That Affect the Cost Of Shipping A Container To Nepal

When calculating the cost of transporting a container, there are five important criteria to consider. The distance traveled, the volume or weight of your goods, the mode of transportation used, destination port taxes, and the time of year are all factors to consider.

The last one shouldn't come as a surprise because there is a peak season for international shipping. Every country has a peak season, which has a considerable impact on shipping costs. This usually begins in mid-August (summer) and is followed by a lesser one between January and February. During these times, there is a higher demand for services, which can cause your expenditures to skyrocket.

Which Size of Shipping Container Works Best for Me?

There are many different types of shipping containers but the most common ones that will be used to ship your belongings are 20 and 40 feet long.

The cargo capacity of a twenty-foot container is roughly equivalent to that of three standard rooms whereas a forty-foot container can transport twice as much. An automobile can be transported in a 20-foot container but there would not be much room for other items.

Nonetheless your car and other possessions will fit comfortably inside a 40-foot container. The 40-foot container is the best option if you need to ship a lot of stuff.

Difference Between FCL and LCL

You might not have to pay for the full container if you're transporting a limited number of items. We've designed a mechanism that permits clients with small cargo volumes to share a container with others. This form of partial cargo is known as "less than a container load" (LCL).

LCL is a fantastic option if you need to ship the contents of a one-bedroom apartment. A volume more than that, on the other hand, will need the usage of the full container. This is referred to as a "full container load" (FCL).

Understanding the Different Types of Freight Transportation

The mode of transportation you choose will be determined by how quickly you want your shipment to arrive. It also depends on international shipping and the destination country. You'll need to check whether the shipping is done port to port or door-to-door.

Raxaul–Sirsiya, and Jaynagar–Janakpur are the two railway lines that go across the country. The former is mostly utilized for the transportation of freight. Through the Sirsiya dry port container depot, container cargo can be imported into Nepal. Air freight using Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport is another option for transporting goods. It is impossible to ship goods by sea freight because Nepal is a landlocked country with no ocean boundaries.

Additional Shipping Costs

When shipping to Nepal or any other country, you should be aware of the following additional shipping costs:

  • Custom duties
  • Container inspection fees
  • General Rate Increase
  • Inland delivery charges
  • Quarantine fees
  • Insurance
