Export Packing Cost

What Does Machinery Export Packing Cost?

Buyers always ask the price first, and the honest answer is that machinery export packing is quoted to the cargo, not from a fixed rate card — but the things that move the price are predictable. This guide explains exactly what drives an export packing quote, so you can estimate, compare quotes fairly, and send us the right details for a fast, accurate price.

How It Is Priced

Export Packing Is Priced to the Cargo and the Voyage.

There is no flat per-machine rate because two machines of the same weight can need very different packs: one robust fabrication ships in a braced open crate, while a precision machine of identical mass needs a closed case, a sealed moisture barrier and a calculated desiccant charge. So a real quote is built up from the case structure, the volume of timber, the corrosion and moisture protection, the ISPM-15 treatment and the handling and documentation — priced to what the cargo and the route actually require.

As a rough industry guide, exporters commonly budget somewhere between one and ten percent of a product's value for protective packing, with robust open-crated cargo at the low end and fragile, fully enclosed and moisture-protected machines at the higher end. Sea freight itself is then charged on whichever is greater of weight or volume (per cubic metre), which is why a well-engineered, tightly-sized case can lower your freight as well as protect the machine. The way to a firm number is simply to send the cargo details below.

What Drives an Export Packing Quote

Cost driverWhy it moves the price
Cargo dimensions & volume (CBM)Bigger cases use more timber and take more freight space; tight, engineered sizing reduces both.
Weight & centre of gravityHeavier and top-heavy machines need load-rated skids, larger members and engineered lift points.
Enclosure typeAn open braced crate costs less than a fully sheathed, moisture-barriered closed case.
Corrosion & moisture protectionVCI and the DIN 55473 desiccant quantity scale with the surfaces, the volume and the route length.
Route & voyage lengthLonger, hotter, trans-shipped routes need more desiccant capacity and more robust protection.
ISPM-15 & documentationHeat-treated timber, marking and certificates are part of every compliant export pack.
