Methods of shipping

Air freight

Cargo that is transported via air freight will typically arrive faster than via sea freight. Thus, it is a better option for time-sensitive shipments!

Sea freight

Goods shipped via sea vessels often incur less cost but take a longer time to arrive at the destination. If you are limited by budget rather than time, sea freight is a great option for you!

At M&P International Freights, we offer the options of less than container load (LCL) or full container load (FCL) to suit your shipping needs.

Less than container load (LCL)

LCL refers to cargo that is below the weight to which freight rates are applicable. In such situations, your goods will be grouped with other shipments to fill up standard containers.

As you are only required to pay for the space taken up by the cargo, you will benefit from the lower shipping costs if you meet the minimum volume required.

Full container load (FCL)

FCL is a form of shipment where the load reaches the maximum weight allowed for a 20ft or 40ft shipping container. 

This shipment option works well for large and fragile goods. You can also choose not to fill the container and reserve the remaining space for additional requirements.

Process behind shipping from Singapore to Thailand via a freight forwarder

If you are planning to engage a freight forwarder to assist you with your shipment, these are the typical steps taken to transport your goods from Singapore to Thailand:

  • Step 1: Send your shipping details to a freight forwarder

    Submit an online enquiry or send an email to a freight forwarding company like M&P International Freights with your shipping details attached:

    • Origin and destination address
    • Departure and arrival date
    • Preferred method of shipping
    • List of goods to be transported, including weight and dimensions
    • Pictures of goods (where possible)
  • Step 2: Fill in relevant customs documents

    To ship your goods efficiently, you will need to attain customs clearance in both Singapore and Thailand. 

    The freight forwarding company can assist you in filling out the necessary documents and making payment for any duties or taxes imposed.

  • Step 3: Pack goods for shipment

    Packing is a crucial step in the process as proper packaging and labelling will help to ensure a smooth shipment. To facilitate the process, it is important to ensure that all customs documentation and shipping labels are clearly visible by the local customs authorities.

  • Step 4: Move goods to the warehouse

    Once your goods have been properly packed, you can arrange with the freight forwarder to move the cargo to their designated warehouse in Singapore while awaiting shipment.

  • Step 5: Ship goods

    Before your goods are shipped, they will have to be inspected and cleared by the Singapore customs officials. The freight forwarding company will assist you with submitting the relevant documents for inspection.

    Once the goods attain clearance, they will proceed to be shipped via the selected mode of transport to their destination!

  • Step 6: Arrival of goods

    Once the shipment arrives in Thailand, the relevant authorities will inspect the cargo to make sure that they have been rightfully declared based on the shipping documents. 

    The freight forwarding company will also receive all relevant documents for the shipment such as carrier bills and outstanding documentation.

  • Step 7: Last-mile delivery

    After the cargo has been cleared by the Thailand authorities, they will be transported to a warehouse or distribution centre. 

    Finally, the goods will be sent to their final destination via a local delivery service.
