Export Packing Services.

InterStateCarriage Freight offers export packing and export crating as well as warehousing services. Our export packing services fit the customer’s schedule, needs, and budget.

Boxing, Crating, Skidding, and Packing

InterStateCarriage Freight prepares cargo for export packing using export-rated wood on our pallets, crates, and skids. We use ISPM 15 wood or particleboard for air shipments and we can provide several different levels of protection by using wax paper, shrink wrapping, vacuum packing, and desiccation. We can also offer full container fumigation. Lastly, we can build whatever is needed for export – saddles, skids, heavy timbered sleds, etc.

Material Receiving

InterStateCarriage Freight checks all material received against export documentation as part of our export packing process. We make Material Receipts for the customer, to ensure safe delivery and minimize overages, shortages, and missing pieces.

Containerization

InterStateCarriage Freight loads, braces, blocks, strips, secures and lashes all types of containers and flat racks as part of our export packing and export crating services. We can load, block, and brace at our facilities in Atlanta or at partner facilities at all major ports throughout the US.

Off-site Packing

Off-site mobilization of export packing crews to a manufacturer’s facilities is available on request. Or we can send our crews to help crate at the port, or to other locations as needed. Our packing crews are expert workmen who have many years in the industry.

Staging and Storing

InterStateCarriage offers thousands of square feet of warehousing space and approximately 30 acres of staging grounds near the Port of Atlanta. We also have access to similarly sized lots and export packing facilities in almost every major port in the U.S., such as Savannah, Chicago, LA, Seattle, New York/New Jersey, and Baltimore, to name a few. We have warehouse facilities for putting smaller pieces on skids and pallets and for very large pieces of break bulk cargo, we have large yards fitted with heavy duty gantry cranes.

Some know that we are an export packing company for large projects like moving factories or installing refineries. However, we also are an export packing company for smaller freight that needs crating, skidding, and palletizing. We can work offsite or cut costs by bringing your cargo to our yards. We can export pack for air, ocean, and hazardous materials. We’ve been helpful as an export packing company for large, multi-million dollar break bulk projects to more normal, run-of-the-mill work making small crates for air freight shipping. Furthermore, we have a range of export packing services in Houston, and we partner with a few specialists to provide the best export crating solution for your need.

Most countries require ISPM 15 compliant packing when cargo enters their territory. Some countries demand even more specialized compliance. Australia and New Zealand demand letters or certificates of compliance from the party who has export packed the material. Chile demands fumigation of used equipment with special chemical treatments. It’s important to know these things before cargo is loaded on to the vessel. At that point it is too late.

To be sure you are not risking your cargo to damage or to rejection by a foreign country’s customs authorities, contact a reputable export packing company like InterStateCarriage Freight. Our export crating services offer reliability, security, cost saving solutions for your freight.
