Why Choose Havana as a Destination?

    • Agricultural Products: Tractors, combines, and pest control equipment.
    • Residential Goods: Furniture, appliances, and outdoor equipment for suburban homes.

    • Reinforced packaging for LCL shipments to withstand rough handling.
    • Climate-controlled storage/transport for sensitive crops or electronics.
    • Proactive route adjustments during severe weather events.

Tips for Shippers

• Rural Delivery Coordination:
  • For farms, provide GPS coordinates or nearest crossroads (e.g., “Intersection of US-27 and County Road 121”) and specify if delivery requires off-road capability.
• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with Havana’s zip code (32333) and include a contact phone number. Use:
    • Ventilated packaging for fresh produce or seeds.
    • Anti-rust coatings for machinery parts to combat humidity.
    • Bilingual labels (English/Spanish) for cross-cultural clarity, if applicable.
• Transit Time Optimization:
  • Sea Freight via Savannah: Cost-effective for non-urgent bulk orders (e.g., 20+ tons of equipment).
  • Air Freight via TLH: Ideal for urgent citrus farming supplies or time-sensitive medical deliveries.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value agricultural machinery or fragile electronics should be insured (2–5% of shipment value) to protect against transit damage, weather delays, or customs hold-ups.
