General Goods (containerised household goods) Commodity Report

This paper publication covers the flow of general goods from their port of importation through to distribution centres. The term “general goods” refers to general household cargo such as plasticware, furniture, clothes, electronics, and home appliances. General goods are typically containerised for overseas shipping to standardise the cargo, allowing for efficient movement of freight. Exports and domestic movements from manufacturers or distribution centres to retailers are excluded from this paper’s scope. Key freight metrics for general goods are benchmarked against the United Kingdom and Great Britain.
