How to deal with the problem of container overweight?

The weight limit of the container itself
There is information on the maximum weight limit on the opening door of each container, such as MAX GROSS: 30480KGS. This means that your box and the cargo cannot exceed this weight. Tare weight-20GP: 2200KGS, 40: 3.720-4200KGS, some HQ will have MAX GROSS: 32000KGS.

This is the maximum strength that the container box can withstand. If the load exceeds this limit, the box may be deformed, the bottom plate will fall off, and the top beam may be bent. All losses arising therefrom will be borne by the shipper. At present, most professional container terminals in China have installed automatic floor scales. Therefore, as long as the container load exceeds the weight limit of the container, the terminal will refuse to accept the container. Therefore, it is recommended that you read clearly the weight limit on the container body before packing to avoid unnecessary repacking operations.

If the goods are indeed overweight and cannot be divided, you can choose overweight boxes. The increase here is the weight selection fee. The general dock/yard stacks the ordinary dry containers of the shipping company together. If you want to choose the special weighted container (such as the 20 weighted container mentioned above), the terminal and the storage yard must be one by one Search, the resultant selection fee is generally the same as the specified counter fee.

Container transportation is a collaborative operation process involving multiple departments, so in addition to the weight limit of the container itself, there are some other factors that need to be considered.
