Estimate only, using typical internal volumes (20ft 33.2 m³, 40ft 67.7 m³, 40ft HQ 76.3 m³), 85% loading efficiency and typical payloads. Road weight limits and your forwarder's rules can lower the real figure.

questions
General sourcing guidance for importers and distributors.
What is CBM?
CBM means cubic metres. Multiply the carton length, width and height in metres (or in centimetres and divide by 1,000,000) to get the volume of one carton.
How much space is in a 20ft, 40ft and 40ft HQ container?
Typical internal volumes are about 33 m³ for a 20ft, 68 m³ for a 40ft and 76 m³ for a 40ft HQ container. Not all of it can be used, because cartons rarely fill every gap.
Why is an umbrella container usually limited by space, not weight?
Umbrellas are light for their size, so a container usually fills up by volume long before it reaches its weight limit.
How many umbrellas are in one of your export cartons?
Our export cartons usually hold 60 pieces or weigh about 30 kg. The exact carton size depends on the model; ask us for the cartons of the models you want.
What is your minimum export order?
Export orders start at 500 pieces, up to a full 40ft HQ container. A full 40ft HQ takes about 25 days to produce.
