What types of dangerous goods can be shipped by air?

admin — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 05:29:50 +0000

Most dangerous goods—such as lithium batteries, dry ice, flammable liquids, and corrosives—can be shipped by air if they meet DGR standards. Extremely hazardous items (e.g., explosives, certain toxic chemicals) are prohibited.

Are there direct flights between China and South America?

admin — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 05:27:43 +0000

At present, there are almost no true nonstop flights between China and South America. Most cargo and passenger services require transit via hubs in North America, Europe, or the Middle East. For example, shipments from Shanghai to São Paulo often transit in Los Angeles, Miami, Frankfurt, or Madrid.

Is the RT calculation different on U.S./Canada trade lanes?

admin — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 05:26:27 +0000

Yes. Unlike most other lanes, North America uses a stricter weight conversion:

1 RT = 1 CBM or approx. 363–375 KG (depending on carrier/forwarder).

Example:
Standard lane: 1 CBM = 1,000 KG
U.S./Canada lane: 1 CBM ≈ 363–375 KG

This means heavy cargo will be charged more RT on U.S./Canada lanes, making freight costlier than on other routes.

What is RT?

admin — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 05:25:42 +0000

RT stands for Revenue Ton, a common billing unit in international LCL (Less than Container Load) shipping.
The calculation is based on:
1 RT = 1 CBM (cubic meter) or 1,000 KG (gross weight), whichever is greater.

Example:
Shipment with 2.5 CBM, 500 KG → Charged as 2.5 RT (volume larger).
Shipment with 1 CBM, 1,500 KG → Charged as 1.5 RT (weight larger).

Is SOC always cheaper than COC?

admin — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 08:36:24 +0000

Not always. SOC may be cheaper in cases of container shortages or on backhaul routes, but on major trade lanes (e.g., US, Europe), SOC and COC rates are often similar, and SOC may even incur extra handling costs.

What is a Transportation Identification Report?

admin — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 08:35:12 +0000

It is a document issued by an accredited laboratory to confirm whether cargo complies with air or sea transport safety requirements, specifying whether it is classified as dangerous goods and under what conditions it can be shipped.

When should I use SOC instead of COC?

admin — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 08:56:17 +0000

1) During peak seasons or when carriers face equipment shortages.
2) In regions with limited container supply, such as Africa or Central Asia.
3) For special equipment shipments (e.g., Open Top, Flat Rack, ISO Tanks).
4) On backhaul or project cargo routes.

What is the difference between SOC and COC?

admin — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 08:53:45 +0000

SOC: The shipper manages and maintains the container. It offers more flexibility, often used in equipment shortages or for special containers.
COC: The carrier provides and manages the container. It is more convenient and the standard option for most trade lanes.
