Before you send the brief.
Can VESLR source containers near Chinese factories?
Supply is checked at named depots serving the selected gateway and cargo-ready date.
Can several suppliers share a container plan?
Yes, when consolidation, loading responsibility and customs arrangements are defined.
Are specialist units available?
They require earlier checks because location and specification options are narrower than standard dry supply.
