Many international
shipping customers are interested in shipping to land-locked countries.
Ethiopia specifically is a very popular destination for both roll-on/roll-off
(Ro/Ro) and container service (FCL and LCL).
But how do you get a car,
construction equipment, or personal effects to a country inaccessible by
vessels? With most companies’ international
shipping services, the cargo can be shipped to the closest available port.
In this case, it is Port Djibouti.
The procedure is similar
to the usual international automobile
shipping or container shipping process. The company will first identify the
closest and most affordable port in the United States, depending on where the
customer is located. At this stage, the shipping company will most likely
determine whether the customer is able to deliver the cargo to the port or not.
Inland trucking and transportation services will come in handy for the latter
option.
The shipping company will
then take care of the necessary paperwork and export formalities in the United
States. This includes communicating with the customer about any additional port
charges and documents that will make the shipment run smoothly.
Finally, the cargo will
be transported via vessel to Port Djibouti, where the company can help with
customs clearance and import formalities in Djibouti. Unfortunately, the
customer will need to arrange a method of transportation from Djibouti to
Ethiopia with local companies.
Shipping overseas is easy
with a reliable international shipping
company, even if the country is land-locked.
