FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from China to Oman take?
Ocean transit from the main Chinese ports to Sohar usually takes about 18 to 28 days port to port, depending on the load port, the service and whether the routing includes a transhipment. Add a few days for booking, loading and customs clearance on arrival.
When is FCL better than LCL?
FCL is usually the better choice once your cargo fills roughly 15 cubic metres or more, or when the goods are fragile, high value or time sensitive. A dedicated container means less handling, fewer consolidation delays and faster release at Sohar.
What fits in a 20ft and a 40ft container?
A 20ft container holds roughly 28 cubic metres of usable space (about 10 standard pallets), a 40ft container roughly 58 cubic metres (about 21 pallets), and a 40ft high cube around 68 cubic metres for lighter, bulky cargo.
Which documents are needed to import from China to Oman?
The commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin from the Chinese supplier, plus your Omani company details for the customs declaration. Preparing these before arrival is what keeps clearance at Sohar fast.
