Optimize your shipping volume and estimate international import duties. Precision planning for 20ft FCL and 40ft HQ textile containers.
For international textile sourcing, the cost of "Dead Air" in a container can kill your margins. A standard 20ft FCL can typically hold 20-25 Metric Tons of fabric, while a 40ft HQ container offers nearly double the volume but with stricter weight limits per axle. Our tool calculates the total metric weight of your order based on GSM and width, ensuring you never over-order or under-fill.
Max Payload: ~21,000 KG. Ideal for high-GSM heavy materials like Denim.
Max Payload: ~26,000 KG. Optimized for light-weight polyester and knits.
Polyester fabrics generally fall under HTS 5407. Duty rates can range from 12% to 15.5% depending on the specific weave and whether the fabric is dyed or printed.
Typically, between 250 to 300 rolls (50m each) can fit in a 20ft container, depending on the roll diameter and the fabric weight.
