FAQ
What is a 40HQ vs 40GP?
40HQ (40ft High Cube) is taller than a 40GP, with about 76 CBM vs ~67 CBM—better for light/voluminous cargo. Payload still follows box and road limits. YuCargo can recommend equipment by cargo profile; rates subject to formal quotation.
Should I book 40HQ or 40GP?
Prefer 40HQ for light/voluminous loads; heavy cargo often hits weight first. Share carton sizes, pieces and gross weight for a stuffing check and written quote at https://www.yucargo.com.cn/en/quote .
What to watch when shipping 40HQ from Shanghai?
Confirm equipment availability, cut-offs, stowage height limits, and destination pickup/road height rules. YuCargo aligns booking and clearance milestones—sailings confirmed in writing. Example matrix page: https://www.yucargo.com.cn/en/routes/shanghai/40hq .
What is an HS code and why quote with it?
HS (Harmonized System) classifies goods for permits, duties and inspection. Clear commodity + HS in RFQs and entries reduces wrong equipment, missing licenses and destination disputes. YuCargo can help check common classification points; customs decides finally.
What happens if the HS code is wrong?
Wrong duty rates, missing permits, inspection holds or destination delays. Align classification with commodity, material and use before export; food may also need GACC access. Rates subject to formal quotation.
Can I get a quote without an exact HS code?
A reference range by commodity/material is possible, but written locks and customs still need a verifiable HS. Complete the code early to avoid amendment after space confirmation: https://www.yucargo.com.cn/en/quote .
How early should I book ocean FCL from Shanghai?
Book with YuCargo 7–10 days ahead on regular lanes; peak seasons, holidays and special equipment (Flat Rack/OT/reefer) need earlier locks. Cut-offs follow carrier/terminal plans—rates subject to formal quotation.
Which ports and container types does YuCargo FCL cover?
Shanghai and nearby ports for 20GP/40GP/40HQ and specials; destinations across 60+ countries. OOG can combine door-to-door permits and destination clearance—see the door-to-door page.
What documents are typical for FCL export customs?
Packing list, commercial invoice, customs power of attorney and export contract; food/DG need extra licenses and inspection papers. Scope brokerage vs booking-only in the RFQ.
