I'm looking to import around £3000 worth of fitness equipment into Southampton by sea. Goods will weigh around 512kg and occupy part of a container. My supplier will ship the cargo from Ningbo, China. Method of shipment is FOB.  I need a quote for all activities once the cargo arrives in Southampton (unloading/associated paperwork/customs clearance) as well delivery to my address in Aylesbury Bucks.  Not sure of the full dimensions as I’m making enquiries in advance of placing my order.  The shipment should weigh 512 kg.  Up to now I’ve been importing by air and boxes have been approx 24x20x18 inches.  The shipment by sea should contain the equivalent of around 15 of these boxes (give or take).

I’m sorry the dimensions are vague.  Is it possible to still give me an approx cost based on this information?  Would also be grateful if you could advise if there are any other details I need to organise myself, or does your quote/estimate cover all possible costs?

Can you also quote for insurance of the goods from port of origin? Can you help?
