What is Groupage?
Groupage is a shipping method used by international movers to share container space for multiple international move shipments destined for the same country.
The process
The international move shipments are consolidated at the Santa Fe Relocation warehouse at origin after being collected from numerous shippers. Santa Fe Relocation at origin is responsible for the export customs clearance of all the shipments in the container. The container is then shipped to the destination and consigned to a specific agent at a destination that would be responsible for deconsolidation, import customs clearance of all the shipments in the container, and subsequent delivery to the customer’s residence.
What are the benefits of choosing a Groupage Service?
Groupage provides several advantages for international movers that want to ship small to medium size shipments. By splitting the overall container freight cost with the other shippers, it gives the business a chance to reduce shipping costs. Overall, a groupage service might be a good substitute for LCL (Less than Container Load) and FCL (Full Container Load) services.
