Envío De Carbón Para Shisha: Declarar Frente A Declarar Mal

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre envío según lo declarado y declaración errónea?

To whom this article will be useful

This article is made for coconut charcoal briquette wholesale buyers who is planning to arrang its shipment from Indonesia. The one who is going to buy at least one sea container is 17-25 tons of charcoal.

What is the problem?

As you know already, most of the shipping lines don’t want to carry coconut charcoal. If you call the liner and ask them for the price, the answer will be: «Sorry, we do not allow coconut charcoal on the vessel».

It all started in earlier 2000s when MSC shipping lines had one of the containers on fire while shipping to Russia. Since then, most of the shipping lines have declined to carry coconut charcoal.

So, how do you do shipping?

Hay dos formas de enviar el carbón de coco.

One is to declare or mention coconut charcoal in the shipping documents, such as Bill of Lading or B/L.

It means that in the Bill of Lading, we write that we are shipping coconut charcoal briquettes.

Esta es la forma más segura y recomendada para el envío de carbón de coco con el método de declaración o mención.

Most of the shipping lines treat coconut charcoal as Dangerous Goods (DG), not as General Cargo. Even in the MSDS, our coconut charcoal is stated as safe and not subject to self-ignition based on the SHT test.

Mercancías peligrosas significa que el casco del contenedor se coloca en la cubierta especial del buque, diseñada para mercancías peligrosas. Eso encarece el envío.

Basically, shipping DG will cost you 30-100% more than shipping General Cargo. For example, shipping general cargo to Newark, USA is 5-7 thousand USD. But the shipping of DG is 15-18 thousand USD.

El segundo método de envío es Misdelcare (totalmente desaconsejado)

Misdeclaration means that in the Bill of Lading we mention, not coconut charcoal, but another «safe» product, like parquet, furniture, wooden handicrafts, anything that is not charcoal.

Con este método, puede obtener costes de flete más baratos, ya que las navieras le aceptan como Carga General.

But if the shipping line finds out that you «misdeclared,» you will get a huge fine. ZIM shipping lines will charge you about 30.000 USD, CMA 20.000 USD, and so on. This is a huge amount of money compared with the costs of the goods.

Besides, you, as the buyer, shipping agent, and factory, will be blacklisted from most shipping lines.

This is a big risk. Every year, a lot of containers with coconut charcoal are couched by shipping lines, stopped, and banned.

As a reliable coconut charcoal factory, we strongly suggest using the Declare or Mention method while shipping charcoal.
