Container Specifications & Shipping Cost Estimates

Dimensions and weight limits are approximate industry-standard values. Shipping costs are rough estimates (2024–2025 market range) for full-container-load (FCL) and will vary by carrier, season, fuel surcharges, and market conditions. All costs in USD.

``` --- **A few important notes:** - **Shipping costs are highly volatile.** The estimates above reflect a mid-range for 2024–2025 FCL ocean freight. During peak season (Q3–Q4) or disruptions (port congestion, Red Sea rerouting), rates can spike 2–3×. - **St. Maarten is expensive** because it's a smaller Caribbean port — containers typically go via transshipment hubs (e.g., Kingston, Cartagena, or Caucedo), which adds cost and time. - **These figures don't include** origin charges (pickup, THC, customs), destination charges (DTHC, drayage, customs clearance, duties/taxes), or insurance — which can add $500–$2,000+ per container at each end. - **Maximum payload** assumes the container is cube-limited before weight-limited (common for most consumer goods). Heavy cargo like machinery or tiles will hit the weight limit well before filling the space.
