Cargo Consolidators Agency Grenada Limited

What Information does CCA Grenada Ltd. need in order to provide an accurate quote for a shipment?

Weight, packing dimensions (L x W x H), commodity, supplier's address with zip code, whether or not pick-up is required, origin and destination of shipment.

CCA Grenada Ltd. handles hazardous cargo. Are there any special requirements for moving hazardous cargo?

Yes. All hazardous cargo must be accompanied by the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) as well as the original dangerous goods certificate (IMO). Special packing is required, which should be provided by the supplier.

How are freight costs calculated?

Freight rates (air & ocean) vary between different origins and destinations. Freight costs are normally calculated by multiplying the freight rate by either the actual weight or the volume (volumetric weight) depending on whichever yields greater. Ocean freight rates are usually quoted per weight or measure, W/M. (W being 1000kg and M being 1m3 (35.32 cubic feet), whichever yields greater.)

Are the freight costs the total costs of the shipment?

No. There are other additional costs such as documentation fees, fuel surcharges etc. which will vary depending on the origin and destination of the shipment.
