Shipping Window

The following questions will allow us time to define a shipping window that fits all parties involved.

What is absolutely latest (true deadline) date your customers needs to have the goods on hand in Germany? Please add the true answer here without being conservative. We will calculate sufficient/add a sufficient margin of safety.

What is the earliest, reliable (guaranteed) the goods are ready for collection (ex works)

Shipping Size

What's the total CBM of your shipment?

Is the CBM information accurate already? If not describe below how you estimated it and give a realistic range including the margin of error. E.g. 8-12 CBM. If above is accurate, you do not have to fill out this field.

How many customers do you serve this time for who you pack a seperate consignment? E.g. if you only have 1 customer, the answer is one (True most for most).

Logistics

What's the pallet type and size you typically use/have used in the past?

Are you able to locally buy or let someone make CP5 Pallets? A CP5 pallet would let us optimize the container space. The pallets you use needs to be treated and have a ISPM 15 mark on them. Usually companies can make custom pallets and do this service. Please investigate and let us know if you can take care of this and comment accordingly.

CP5 Size: 114x760mm (LxW)
