What is container shipping?

Container shipping is the transportation of goods in standardized steel containers (typically 20ft or 40ft) aboard cargo ships. Containers can be loaded with FCL (Full Container Load) for a single shipper or LCL (Less than Container Load) for multiple shippers sharing one container. Pacific Asia Regional Shipping (PARS) offers both FCL and LCL container shipping from India to 50+ global ports.

How do I book container shipping from India?

To book container shipping from India with PARS: 1) Request a quotation online at parships.com or call +91 90030 52529. 2) Provide cargo details including origin port, destination port, container size, cargo type, and weight. 3) Receive a quote with freight rates, THC, documentation and fuel surcharge breakdown. 4) Complete KYC verification and confirm the booking. 5) Our team handles the Bill of Lading, customs clearance and Container Release Order (CRO).

What is a Container Release Order (CRO)?

A Container Release Order (CRO) is an official document issued by the shipping company or NVOCC (like PARS) to authorize the release of an empty container to a shipper for stuffing. The CRO specifies the container number, size, type, and the terminal from which it can be picked up. It is required before cargo can be loaded into a container for export.

What is a Bill of Lading?

A Bill of Lading (BL or B/L) is a legal document issued by a carrier (shipping company or NVOCC like PARS) to a shipper that serves as: (1) a receipt for cargo shipped, (2) a contract of carriage, and (3) a document of title to the goods. It contains details of the shipper, consignee, port of loading, port of discharge, cargo description, container number, and freight terms. It is essential for international trade and customs clearance.

How do I track my shipment with PARS?

You can track your PARS shipment in real-time at parships.com using your container number or Bill of Lading number. Visit the Track Shipment section on the homepage, enter your tracking number, and get instant status updates including port of loading, current location, estimated time of arrival (ETA), and port of discharge.

How to export cargo from India?

To export cargo from India, you need: (1) IEC (Import Export Code) from DGFT. (2) GST registration. (3) Choose your freight forwarder or NVOCC — PARS handles this end-to-end from Chennai, Mumbai, and other major ports. (4) Book a container and get a CRO. (5) Complete customs export documentation including Shipping Bill. (6) Stuff the container and hand it to the terminal. (7) Receive the Bill of Lading. PARS provides complete export logistics support including customs clearance.

What is NVOCC in shipping?

NVOCC stands for Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier. An NVOCC is a freight transport company that issues its own Bills of Lading and takes on the role of a carrier for shippers, but does not own or operate ships. Instead, they book space with actual vessel operators and combine shipments from multiple clients. PARS is a licensed NVOCC offering competitive ocean freight rates from India to global destinations.

What is FCL and LCL shipping?

FCL (Full Container Load) means you book an entire shipping container exclusively for your cargo — ideal for large shipments. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares container space with other shippers' goods — ideal for smaller shipments. PARS offers both FCL (20ft and 40ft containers) and LCL shipping from India with competitive freight rates.

How long does sea freight from India take?

Sea freight transit times from India depend on the destination: India to UAE (Dubai/Jebel Ali): 5–10 days. India to Singapore: 10–15 days. India to Germany (Hamburg): 20–28 days. India to USA (Los Angeles): 25–35 days. India to Netherlands (Rotterdam): 22–30 days. PARS provides accurate ETAs and real-time tracking for all shipments.

What documents are required for customs clearance in India?

For export customs clearance in India you typically need: Bill of Lading or Airway Bill, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Shipping Bill (filed with Indian Customs), Certificate of Origin, IEC code, GST registration, and any commodity-specific certificates (phytosanitary, quality, etc.). PARS handles all customs clearance documentation for both exports from India and imports into India.
