How does the shipment go from Louts? 

Export shipments are in huge quantities through 40ft & 20ft containers. Lotus accepts LCL orders (less than container load). Local road transportation in the US & Canada. 

How are pipes packed in containers?

Lotus offers various custom packing solutions. Every country has different practices of pipes stuffing in containers. Lotus mainly packs pipes in wooden skids, pallets & stacks them up in containers (mainly for the US, Canada, Middle East & Latin America). Pipes are also loaded in loose telescopical style in one other, which gives the maximum capacity to load pipes. Loose pipes stuffing helps to compensate for the freight cost as you load more or less in the container, the container freight is always the same. It’s better & smart to load the container to its fullest weight & load capacity.

How many tones can go in 20ft, 40ft, and 45ft container?

Approximately 20 to 23 tons of pipes can go in 20ft, 24 to 26 tons in 40ft container & 25 to 27 tons in 45’ container.

What will be the approx Import Expenditure and transport cost to bring products from Lotus in container load?

The Approx expenditure to Import Goods from Lotus shall be 15 to 18% of the value of the goods purchased. One interesting thing to note here is the style of stuffing the container which lotus follows to saves the freight cost to a greater extent, below is an example for better understanding.

Assume you have 200 nos. of 225mm 3 meter casings pipes loosely stuffed in a 40ft container. Therefore, believe it or not, you can telescopically stuff 200 nos. of 165mm, 125mm, 88mm, 60mm, etc. casing pipes inside one another. The sequence will follow a 60mm casing inside of 88mm casing inside of 125mm casing inside of 165mm casings inside of 225mm casings. The total nos. of 3 meter pipes that will fit in a 40ft container will be 200 x 5 = 1,000 nos. of all five sizes pipes. Thus the freight cost will be the same but no the pipes will increase and fit in the same freight cost.

Key Factor to Remember: ocean freight cost of a container does not depend on the weight of a load it carries, it is always fixed between any destinations
