How Do You Go Buying Containers?

ewwink — Fri, 13 May 2011 15:19:05 +0000

Before you go buying containers, you have to decide what you want them for. Are you planning to ship goods in the containers? If so, you need CSC – Convention for Safe Containers – certification testifying that the container is still suitable for safe handling and transportation in a commercial inter-modal transport environment. What this means is that the container should still be sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of being moved about from trucks to railcars to ships and back to railcars and trucks till it reaches its destination.

Containers are made of high tensile steel with a reinforced rigid framework, and designed to survive in the extreme conditions of an ocean voyage. Walls are corrugated steel sheets and interiors are made of treated timber. There would be double doors at one end of the standard container, retained securely by four locking bars that extend to the full height of the container.

Buying Containers for Storage

If you are buying containers for storing your goods, CSC certification is not needed. However, you have to ensure that the containers are still vandal proof and jemmy proof. Padlocks can be used for additional security to secure the lockable handles fitted to the four locking bars.

Depending on your storage requirements, you might need additional fittings like shelves. You might also desire to have light fittings inside. It is best to have these done by the container sellers, who are familiar with container specifics.

Transporting and Locating Containers

Containers are heavy, with a standard 20 feet container weighing over 2000kg. Hence container trucks fitted with cranes typically transport them. These trucks can load and unload the heavy container and transport them safely.

The containers should be placed on level ground as otherwise you might find it difficult to open the heavy doors. A good idea is to erect four level corner concrete blocks to place the four corners of the container.

The location where you want to put the container should have adequate area to handle the container and the large truck, with no overhanging obstacles up to a height of about 25 feet. An obstacle free space of 60′x20′x25′ is a minimum at the proposed location.

Buy or Rent?

You can rent or buy the containers. Decide on the best option considering your requirements. If you rent, you can indicate that you would like a purchase option to be exercised later if needed.

Other Issues

Containers can be painted the color you want. They are very sturdy and require little maintenance. While storing goods, it is better not to stack damp affected goods against the walls, as closed areas like container insides are prone to condensation.

Containers can be modified and converted to suit different uses. For example, you can convert them into offices, canteens, shops and so on. The mobile offices and canteens are ideal for work sites. Container sellers would have the experience and facilities to customize the containers in these and other ways. Discuss your requirements with them when buying containers.

What is International Trade

ewwink — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 06:10:57 +0000

Of late, the phrase international trade is used interchangeably with e-commerce. International trade is an area of economics, which forms the larger part of global sourcing through import and export. Simply put, e-commerce is the domestic/international exchange of services and goods over the internet unlike global sourcing or import/export. Thanks to technological developments, international trade, aided by e-commerce is not a complex process anymore. Import/export is a major indicator of how good an economy is doing.

-Import and Export

Selling in an international trade is export and buying bought is import. Import and export affect a country’s current account balance of payments. For developing countries, agricultural products represent about 8% of international trade and import/export, a petty part of global sourcing. Most of them are in Latin America and the Caribbean or sub-Saharan Africa, and depend on international trade with skewed import/export of farm products.

International trade isn’t without its share of controversies with regard to import/export barriers and stiff tariffs. The common complaint by global sourcing poor countries is that they face as much as 4 times the tariffs when exporting to rich countries. It is also said that prosperous countries have exploited import/export potential of smaller countries that are demanding increased access for international trade and import/export and end the subsidized agricultural over-production and export dumping.

It is true that import and export subsidies alter competition on international trade and subvert world import/export; thereby, incomes. This calls for greater understanding of conformity requirements in order to operate in an international trade scene. No wonder, import and export of manufactured items are considered beneficial. No wonder global sourcing and international trade are dominated by manufacturing and import & export.

-Global Sourcing

Global sourcing provides importers and consumers the opportunity to avail what is not available locally and cheaper costs. International trade simply means cross border selling and buying. International trade with global sourcing is growing at about twice as fast as GDP for the past decade.

Global sourcing has a major impact on corporations’ performances too. The World Trade Organization, WTO, is an international trade monitoring body which at global level, through arrangements attempts to stabilize the international trade imbalances which at present favors developed countries. Controversial treaties including the GATT and WTO have attempted at creating regulated international trade structures for skewed import/export increases.

There is still a long way before barriers free global sourcing is reduced as global sourcing absolutely requires the collaboration of all involved.
