Container Grades

21 days - Production Begins

We build each of our new containers to ISO standard in state of the art factories. Each container is put through a rigorous testing and quality control program ensuring perfect tolerances and specifications.

25 days - In Transit to the USA

Once production of the container is complete, it is transported to a local port and cargo is loaded into the container for transport to the U.S. The shipping time from overseas to a U.S. port is approximately three weeks.

10 days - US Customs Clearance

With any cargo transported from a foreign country to the United States, the cargo has to pass through the U.S. Customs agencies. This process can take up to ten days for a container to clear customs depending on how busy the port is with new deliveries. Once the container is passed by customs, it is stored at the port until a freight forwarder can pick up the full container.

25-30 days - First Shipment Completed and Cargo Delivered

A delivery is scheduled with the customer who ordered the cargo in the container. This process can take twenty-one to thirty days. An intermodal truck will pick up the container from the port and deliver it to its destination. The cargo is then unloaded and the empty container is brought back to our distribution facility.

1-5 days - Container Returned and Available for Purchase

The new container has just completed its first and only trip as a cargo container, unless the purchaser of the container wishes to ship cargo elsewhere. Most customers use the new container for storage and some even build new homes out of cargo containers. The ideas for cargo containers are endless, and are a great investment.
