FCL Shipment

Image
                                                FCL Shipment A full container load (FCL) is an ISO standard container that is loaded and unloaded under the risk and account of one shipper and only one consignee. In practice, it means that the whole container is intended for one consignee. FCL container shipment tends to have lower freight rates than an equivalent weight of cargo in bulk. FCL is intended to designate a container loaded to its allowable maximum weight or volume, but FCL in practice on ocean freight does not always mean a full payload or capacity - many companies will prefer to keep a 'mostly' full container as a single container load to simplify logistics and increase security compared to sharing a container with other goods.

Yet, some intended beneficiaries' the importers' have said the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) at Nhava Sheva faces severe congestion and isn't ready for the DPD model.

Incoterms however do have exceptions. For instance, US is the only country that accepts a customs bond. A customs bond is charged by the US customs department and protects the US government in case the importer has not paid any penalties or taxes. If such a case comes up then the goods are withheld by the US customs department. Also when exporting goods from India, a withholding tax is to be paid. If the goods which are being exported is mentioned in the Second Schedule of Export Tariff, then no taxes are to be paid otherwise one should pay the withholding tax to get a clearance to export the goods. While we have discussed India and US briefly there is also a third country which has specific Incoterms relating to trade. The country is UK. T...
