Export Logistics & Documentation

Craft consignments are usually low weight and high volume, which makes cubic capacity, not tonnage, the freight variable that matters. Documentation carries its own weight: certificates of origin, handicraft certification where preferential duty applies, timber and wildlife permits, and cultural property clearance for anything that could be read as antique. Consolidation across several small workshops into one shipment is normal in this trade and needs to be planned at order stage rather than at the port.
