6. Are you “Street Legal”?
Question: How much can I load into 20'/40' steamship line
container?
Answer: Most USA states allow 18 metric tons/20' & 20 metric
tons/40‘. Sometimes more can be legally loaded with a "heavy
permit“ which is not available in all states. The shipper is
legally responsible -both civilly and criminally.

7. Ocean Exports to Russia/CIS
Question: What is the best getaway for ocean exports to
Russia/CIS?
Answer: We prefer the port of Riga, Latvia for over two decades
because of its excellent communications, motor power, rail car
supply, reliability. Containers move to inland points under bond and
clear customs at destination city. This minimizes delays/
expenses/ unhappy customers.

9. Marine Cargo Insurance
Question: Do I need marine cargo insurance for exporting or
importing my goods?

the limited liability of most carriers & exporters / importers
have a financial obligation to the ship owner.
