Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL (Full Container Load) is always more cost-effective when you have enough cargo to fill at least 70% of a container. Although the initial cost per container is higher, the final cost per cubic meter (CBM) is usually significantly lower than LCL (Less than Container Load).
How long does an FCL container take from China to Argentina?
The average ocean transit time (port-to-port) is 35 to 45 days. To this, you must add the days for handling at origin and the Customs and unloading procedures at the destination. Framex provides you with a realistic delivery schedule.
What essential documents do I need for my China-Argentina FCL shipment?
You will need, at a minimum, the B/L (Bill of Lading), the Commercial Invoice, the Packing List, and the Certificate of Origin. Our team advises you to ensure the documentation complies with Argentine regulations (ARCA/Customs).
Can Framex help me manage the loading of an FCL container in China?
Yes. Our comprehensive service includes coordinating the booking, picking up, and land transport from your supplier’s factory in China to the port of departure, ensuring the container is correctly loaded and sealed.
Which Argentine ports does Framex use for FCL unloading from China?
We primarily operate through the Port of Buenos Aires (Terminals), Zárate, Montevideo and San Antonio (Chile), depending on the shipping line and the final destination of the merchandise.
