FAQ — OOG Container Shipping from China to Chile

What is the maximum height for Open Top containers to Chile?

Our 40' Open Top containers accommodate cargo up to 3.2m (approx. 10'6") with proper lashing. For heights exceeding that, we use Flat Rack or breakbulk options. Always confirm with our OOG team for specific dimensions.

Which Chilean ports handle out-of-gauge cargo best?

Valparaíso and San Antonio are the most experienced terminals for OOG and project cargo. Both have heavy-lift cranes, dedicated berths, and customs brokers familiar with special container imports. We also serve Iquique and Antofagasta for northern regions.

How long does sea freight take from Qingdao or Chongqing to Chile?

Typical transit is 28–34 days depending on the carrier rotation and whether the vessel calls directly or via transshipment (e.g., Callao or Balboa). We always provide the fastest available routing for your project timeline.

What documentation is required for Chilean customs clearance of OOG cargo?

You will need a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and often an import license for industrial equipment. Our Chilean customs partners pre-clear documents to avoid delays – we handle the entire process.

Can you arrange inland delivery within Chile after port discharge?

Absolutely. We coordinate trucking and heavy-lift transport from Valparaíso or San Antonio to any city in Chile, including Santiago, Concepción, La Serena, and Punta Arenas. We also manage oversized permits for road transport.

Do you offer insurance for out-of-gauge cargo?

Yes, we arrange comprehensive marine cargo insurance covering all-risk for OOG and breakbulk shipments. Our policies are tailored to high-value industrial goods and include coverage for loss, damage, and salvage.
