Ocean Freight FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be charged extra if the vessel is delayed sailing?

No. We calculate any additional costs i.e. plug/power etc. based on vessel sail date at time of booking. If the vessel is delayed, Nippy Shipping absorbs the associated plug/power costs.

Will Nippy Shipping ship rare and/or precious cargoes?

Nippy Shipping has provided secure transport for rare and precious cargoes for many years. However, due to the bespoke nature of this service, such cargo is subject to application.

What Duty will I have to pay?

The rate of duty applicable will be dependent on the commodity code of the goods you wish to import and the country of origin. All this information can be found using the following LINK:
http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds2/taric/taric_consultation.jsp?Lang=en.

What VAT will I have to pay?

Again, the rate of VAT is dependent on the product(s) being imported. Standard UK VAT, for example, is 20% but certain goods may be liable to a reduced or ‘nil’ rate of VAT. All this information can be found using the following link: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/forms-rates/rates/goods-services.htm

Can I ship my hazardous cargo with Nippy Shipping?

This is entirely dependent on the specific nature of the hazardous cargo. There are some consignments we will not carry, either on legal, ethical or environmental grounds. Contact your local Nippy Shipping office for further clarification.

If your cargo is not one of those prohibited, then MSC will be happy to transport it.  We have experienced teams all over the world that can help you through the whole shipping process. Our global chemical support department (based in Antwerp), meanwhile, is on hand to ensure that your shipment meets the stringent compliance requirements of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code. They can also deal with any contingency along the way.

Can Nippy Shipping supply me with high cube containers to ship my cargo?

Yes. Nippy Shipping has an extensive inventory of more than 10 million containers including 20’, 40’ and high cube boxes.

How will the ocean freight be calculated on my hazardous cargo?

When it comes to potentially dangerous hazardous cargo, each container Nippy Shipping transports will be treated as a bespoke shipment. Factors influencing the ocean freight will include the nature of the cargo itself, any special stowage requirements, its weight, the specific trade zone in which it is to be shipped and whether there are any existing contracts or relationships in place.
