     For large volumes of cargo (greater than 15 cubic meters), the transport used will always be maritime transport. This is without a doubt the most economical way to send large volumes. It should be noted that the larger the size of the container, the more favorable the shipping costs will be.

       The sizes of standardized containers are the following:

       Resulting approximate interior load volumes:

• 20 standard feet: 33 m3
• 40 standard feet: 67.7 m3
• 40 feet plus: 76.3 m3

For the shipment of complete containers, we have the following options:

-   FOB at source (Free On Board). Alter Asia delivers the container "on board the vessel" at the designated Indonesian port of embarkation, usually Surabaya. At that time the responsibilities of the goods from the seller to the buyer are transferred. To use this type of delivery, the client must first contact a transport or logistics company preferably in their own country of origin to jointly manage the shipment from this port of Indonesia to the nearest port in their locality.

-   CIF at destination (Cost, Insurance and Freight) This is the other commonly used option, in which the container is placed in the port of the importing country. Managing beforehand the expenses and the maritime freight. Our responsibilities end when the container passes the ship's rail at the port of disembarkation. Once in the port of destination agreed, to remove the cargo it is necessary to carry out the customs clearance by paying the possible amounts of VAT, customs duties and antidumping (if necessary and depending on the cargo) and expenses produced by the handling of the cargo in the harbor. For this, it is recommended to hire a company specialized in logistics.

-   Direct Door-To-Door Shipments for some countries, among which are mostly those of the European community, we can perform the customs clearance and ground transportation of the container to the facilities that the client tells us. Facilitating the procedures and procedures to the client as much as possible.
