Ocean freight from USA to Guatemala

Low-cost transportation (in comparison to air or long-distance road freight) and flexibility are two of the primary benefits of ocean freight services from the USA to Guatemala. The cost is low due to the economies of scale offered by ocean carriers, and because the overall cost of maritime shipping is less than other international transportation modes.

As an example of the flexibility, you can choose between shipping a full-container-load (FCL) when you are exporting a sufficient quantity of freight from the USA, or opting to send smaller consignments as less-than-container-load (LCL) shipments, consolidated into full loads with goods belonging to other shippers.

FCL shipping is most practical, and economical, when you have enough freight to fill a 20-foot or 40-foot container. It’s also an ideal solution when you wish to ensure your shipment does not share container space with anyone else’s cargo. However, in this case, it might not be the cheapest way if your consignment is of a low volume.

If you only wish to ship goods from the USA to Guatemala in small quantities, an LCL service might be a preferable solution, as you only pay for the space your consignment occupies within a shipping container.
