The transit time for your cargo will vary based on a few factors – including the vessel schedule, whether containers need to be connected to other vessels on their journey, and how many calling ports there are on the route.

In Thailand, there are no real peak seasons in logistics. However, there might be an impact on the vessel space around holidays such as Thai New Year and Chinese New Year. We therefore strongly recommend you keep these holidays in mind and book your shipment in advance.

Cargo insurance is not required to ship to or from Thailand, but cargo transportation can entail various risks. You should always keep in mind which Incoterms® you have agreed on with your supplier.

If you're shipping your cargo overseas, you should know that you could get quickly compensated if your cargo is damaged or lost. That's why Twill offers Value Protect, giving you peace of mind as your cargo is protected while being transported with us.

When you add Value Protect, it is easier and simpler to make claims compared to traditional insurance. It helps you avoid the many difficulties and annoyances businesses face when shipping cargo while protecting it from risk and damage.

When you are exporting from Thailand, we suggest you add Value Protect to your booking if you are shipping goods that have a high cargo value.

Customs Clearance procedures are an important step in your cargo's journey. You will need to follow them to import your containers into Thailand. The key to smooth customs clearance is having the right documentation. Find out more about our Customs Clearance services and how to add them during the booking process.
