What is the landed cost of an FIBC bag?

Landed cost = FOB India price + ocean freight + customs/duties. For standard 1-ton bags, this typically runs $3.50–$5.50 per bag depending on quantity and certification level.

How long does it take to get FIBC bags direct from India?

Direct container shipments from Gujarat arrive in 2–3 weeks. US brokers typically quote 8–10 weeks because they are re-sourcing from inventory or adding their own lead time buffer.

What quantity is needed for a container load of FIBC bags?

A 20-foot container holds roughly 500–800 standard 1-ton FIBC bags. A 40-foot container holds 1,000–1,600. Orders of 500+ bags typically fit a single container and qualify for the best per-bag pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much cheaper is direct vs. broker?

Typically 15–25%. Brokers add their margin on top of FOB India cost plus freight. Direct sourcing with PackAssure eliminates that layer entirely — you pay factory price plus freight, nothing else.

What's included in "landed cost"?

FOB India price + ocean freight + customs/duties. Our estimate covers all three. The only variable we don't model is your drayage (port to warehouse), which depends on your facility location.

Why 2–3 weeks vs. 8–10 weeks?

We ship direct container loads — your bags go from our Gujarat factory floor to your port. US brokers typically re-source from spot inventory or add buffer for their own logistics. Our lead time is the actual transit time.

What's the minimum order?

We quote from 100 bags. A 500-bag order fits a 20-foot container and gets the best per-bag pricing. For smaller volumes, we can combine with other product lines to fill a container.
