Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How far in advance should I secure space for FCL shipments to the US?
A. It depends on the carrier and timing, but it is generally advisable to confirm space availability 3–4 weeks before departure and complete booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance. During peak seasons or on congested routes, earlier booking may be necessary.
Q. What is the typical ocean transit time to Chicago?
A. From Busan to Chicago via Seattle or Long Beach, transit typically takes 20–28 days. The final delivery time depends on the inland connection method (rail or truck) and the last-mile destination.
Q. What is the difference between 40HQ and 40FT containers?
A. A 40HQ (High Cube) container is approximately 30 cm taller than a standard 40FT container, offering more internal volume. It is suitable for cargo with height constraints or larger volume needs.
