Heavy machinery, large equipment, granite, rolling stock and oil well supplies loaded individually.

Most ocean quotes look the same until the vessel arrives.
What separates a clean import from an expensive one is who files the entry, how fast the paperwork moves, and whether anyone warned you about the charges that show up afterward.
- ISF filed within 24 hours of booking confirmation. The cheapest penalty to avoid and the most commonly earned.
- Classification reviewed before arrival, so a duty rate surprise is a conversation, not an invoice.
- Free time tracked per container, with pickup scheduled against your last free day, not the day after it.
What actually changes
Same ocean, same vessel, same port. The difference is what happens around the freight.
Bottom line: a cheap quote with a slow entry costs more than a fair quote with a fast one. Demurrage runs $150 to $300 per container per day once free time ends.

What Our Customers Say
Discover what customers have to say about their experience with ShipLilly.
“We were paying demurrage on nearly every container out of Ningbo. First quarter with ShipLilly: zero. The entry is filed before the ship is in the channel.”
“First time importing and they walked me through classification instead of guessing. The quote they gave in March is still what I'm paying.”
ShipLilly has officially consolidated as a Vessel Operating Common Carrier, adding more direct control over ocean capacity for our shippers.
