Popular shipping routes from Thailand
Our 19 published country-pair lane guides with indicative rate ranges, transit bands, routing detail and destination customs rules. Every figure is a range, because a single number would be a lie. We ship by air and sea to 200+ countries; any route not listed here is quoted on request.
FCL (full container load) means you book a whole 20ft or 40ft container for your cargo only.
LCL (less than container load) is shared-container sea freight from 1 CBM. If you are shipping boxes or pallets that do not fill a container, this is usually what you need. Thai Nexus can prepare export pallets from cartons at intake. Quote on request.
Open the FCL vs LCL volume tool to see which mode to quote first for your CBM and lane.
Indicative USD ocean freight only. Rates change with sailing date, space and fuel. Confirm on quote before booking.
Operator execution rules
These rules apply to every sea freight quote and booking. Indicative rates are not a guarantee without a scoped quote.
- 14-day rate locks max
Do not guarantee these rates past 14 days. Carrier war surcharges are floating weekly.
- UAE high-risk clause
TH to AE requires an explicit floating insurance addendum in client contracts to cover sudden port blockages or diverted discharges at Jebel Ali.
- Working capital squeeze
Ocean lines are demanding shorter payment terms on Middle East and European lanes. We need to collect 100% freight prepayment from clients before container loading.
Contract wording is in our Standard Trading Conditions.
