Used Excavator  Successfully loaded into 1*40HQ Sea Shipping To Syria, Lattakia 

1. Exclusive "Excavator Container Loading" Technology, Directly Reducing Logistics Costs

Standard 40HQ Container Loading Solution: Targeting common 20-22 ton used excavators such as Caterpillar 320 and Komatsu 200, this solution utilizes professional processes including bucket disassembly, cab folding, and chassis securing to perfectly load them into a single 40HQ standard container.

Cost Comparison: Compared to flat rack containers or bulk carriers, ocean freight is reduced by 35%-40%, and avoids high oversize surcharges at the Port of Latakia.

Successful Cases: Multiple used excavators from Shenzhen/Shanghai have been successfully shipped using this solution, with zero damage and zero inspection discrepancies.

2. Direct Shipping from Shanghai to Latakia, Fully Compliant Documentation

Direct Route: Partnering with shipping companies such as COSCO, CMA, and ONE, we offer a direct shipping service from Shanghai Port to Latakia Port, taking approximately 25-28 days (transit in Singapore/Port Said, no need for document exchange in a third-party country).

Used Machinery and Electrical Equipment Export Qualification: Proficient in the customs clearance process for used excavators at Shanghai Port, providing the "Used Machinery and Electrical Equipment Import Declaration" and "Pre-shipment Inspection Certificate" to ensure smooth clearance by Shanghai Customs.

3. One-Stop Delivery at Latakia Port

Port Customs Clearance Agent: We have long-term partnerships with licensed Syrian customs clearance agents in Latakia, capable of handling post-war special inspections and temporary import duty exemption applications (for reconstruction projects).

Inland Trucking: We can pick up empty containers from the port and transport them to the client's designated construction site (e.g., Aleppo, Damascus, Homs). We can arrange for flatbed trailers with cranes to unload the containers and unpack the excavators on-site.

4. Comprehensive Risk Coverage

War Risk Insurance: We provide strike, riot, and war insurance covering Latakia port area and inland transportation.

Anti-Theft: Container seals + GPS tracking (optional), full traceability.

Core Operation Process (Loading → Sea Freight → Delivery)

Step 1: Pre-loading at Shenzhen/Shanghai Factory (Our staff will provide guidance)

Unloading Preparation: Cleaning and decontaminating the excavator (to avoid customs considering it "foreign garbage"), emptying the fuel, and disconnecting the battery.

Loading Operation:

Disassemble the bucket (separately secure it to the front of the container);

Lower the cab (to a height of less than 2.55 meters);

Secure the chassis with steel wooden blocks + triangular blocks + 10-ton tensioning straps;

Place humidity indicator cards at the four corners (to prove there is no oil leakage).

Photo Evidence: Three sets of photos before, during, and after loading for customs clearance at the destination port.

Step 2: Shanghai Port Customs Clearance and Shipment

HS Code: 8429.52 (Other Self-Propelled Machinery), must be declared as "Used Tracked Excavators for Post-War Reconstruction in Syria".

Key Documents: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Used Machinery Declaration, Export License (if required).

Step 3: Latakia Port Customs Clearance + Inland Delivery

Clearance Period: Approximately 5-7 working days (including inspection by the Syrian Bureau of Standards).

Truck Arrangement: A flatbed truck with a 25-ton crane will be booked 3 days in advance. On-site unpacking, unloading of the excavator, bucket assembly, and delivery to the customer for acceptance.

Special Note: Key Operational Points at the Port of Latakia

Due to the accelerated post-war reconstruction in Syria, the Port of Latakia has restored 80% of its throughput capacity, but the following points should still be noted:

Issues | Our Solutions

Port Congestion: We recommend choosing vessels arriving during the week (to avoid weekend holidays). We can prepay priority berthing fees (approximately $300/container).

Customs Clearance Document Authentication:A commercial invoice certified by the Syrian Chamber of Commerce is required (we can handle this on your behalf, taking 5 days).

Funding Remittance Restrictions: We recommend clients pay in US dollars through intermediary banks in Lebanon or the UAE, or in Syrian pounds in cash (we can coordinate exchange rates).

Security Escort: For the Latakia to Aleppo route, we can arrange armed security escorts ($200/vehicle trip, 7 days' advance booking required).
