20ft High Cube Export Container – One-Trip, CSC Plated
This 20ft High Cube export container is built for active international freight, not just storage. It meets full ISO 668 Series 1 dimensional standards and carries a valid CSC plate issued at manufacture — certifying it for road, rail, and sea transport without modification or re-certification. Furthermore, the one-trip condition means as-new structural integrity: the unit loads, seals, and exports without condition downgrades at the port.
The High Cube profile adds 300 mm of interior height over a standard 20ft. Therefore, tall export cargo — machinery, double-stacked bulk bags, high pallets — travels sealed and weatherproof instead of paying open-top surcharges.

What the CSC Plate Means at the Port
The CSC plate certifies the container structurally sound for international intermodal transport, and this one was issued at manufacture — not retrospectively surveyed onto an old box. Consequently, shipping lines accept the unit without re-certification at the point of loading. It fits standard rail well cars, takes twistlocks and spreader bars at every corner, and moves door-to-door across all three transport modes without cargo transfer.
Who Exports With It
- Machinery and equipment exporters — tall cargo sealed against weather, no open-top surcharge
- Agricultural exporters — double-stacked bulk bags and tall palletised produce fill the cube
- Mining and resources — plant and spares shipped internationally above standard clearance
- Door-to-door freight operators — one sealed unit, three transport modes, zero re-handling
