We offer both LCL (part container loads) and FCL (full container load) sea freight services, along with loading, securing, customs clearance, and shipping documentation requirements.
HAPPY TAILS TRANS COURIER is a complete end-to-end export service provider, ensuring all sea freight documentation requirements are completed and processed on your behalf including certificates of origin, bills of laden, letters of credit, insurance, and customs clearance.
Transporting large, heavy, or high-volume items by sea freight is often the most cost-effective solution for international exporters. Our sea freight specialists can identify your options and advise on the port of export, destination port, sailing dates, and transit times. We can also align these requirements with our in-house packing and loading capabilities to mitigate delays and provide a seamless process from receipt of the cargo through to delivery.
We can load and secure cargo into standard 20ft or 40ft containers or alternatively high cube containers, for cargo up to 2560mm high. We can also secure out of gauge (OOG) cargo onto flat rack containers that may be wider or higher than standard containers.
We pack and ship vast amounts of cargo on a daily basis, supporting businesses in numerous market sectors. This end-to-end service ensures that your cargo will be uplifted, packed, secured, and delivered in the same condition in which it left the factory.
We understand that local knowledge within the destination country can prevent delays or unforeseen issues, so having local expertise to hand can help overcome any customs formalities, storage requirements, or handling and delivery issues prior to arrival. Through years of experience and knowledge, we have built a global network of international agents to ensure your cargo is cleared quickly at the port of entry.
Whether your consignment is high, wide, heavy, or high volume, we can offer a comprehensive service, from the collection, packing, preservation, and shipping, ensuring the most cost-effective, swiftest service available.
