Find key seaports, UN/LOCODEs and country customs resources for ocean freight planning.
Search commonly used container gateways by country, city, port name or UN/LOCODE, then continue to official customs information and the relevant Foresmart route or service page.
Try the country, city or code, or ask Foresmart to review the shipment route.
Gateway planning
Choose the seaport from the complete factory-to-destination journey.
Use the directory code as one input. The final route also depends on pickup, capacity, cargo restrictions, customs and inland delivery.
01
Start with the supplier location
Compare pickup distance, trucking access, export handling and carrier service.
02
Check the cargo and equipment
FCL, LCL, reefer, flat rack, open top and dangerous goods do not use identical options.
03
Compare destination exposure
Port charges, customs, terminal availability, drayage and inland delivery affect the total.
04
Confirm the current sailing
Carrier capacity, cutoff, transshipment and congestion change over time.
CUSTOMS AND DUTY NOTE
An official customs website is not a complete landed-cost quotation.
Duty and tax depend on classification, customs value, origin, trade measures, importer status and the declaration date. Confirm the result with the responsible importer and qualified customs professional.
