Ocean carriers have announced new rates on direct service from the East Coast to both Australia and New Zealand. Transit time is 30 days.

  • OR +$1200/container 

The new rate is effective for containers loaded on and after October 1st, 2022.

No Changes To Rates From California 

Exports from California remain unaffected. Rates and service remain unchanged from California. There is no major congestion and we continue to secure space on ocean vessels that our customers require. Vessels depart on a stable weekly schedule. We are not adding any additional surcharges.

We provide asbestos testing for vehicles, along with fumigation.

No Extra Chassis Fees

We own our own fleet of chassis and we do not charge you any chassis fees on export containers.

We have resumed offering lien sales at $500/lien sale when shipping from California.

No Container Storage Fees

We own and operate our own facilities and any extra charges due to container storage is our problem, not yours.
