What is dock stuffing?

Direct Answer

Dock stuffing means cargo is loaded into containers at the port or container freight station.

Detailed Explanation

Dock stuffing is commonly used when exporters cannot arrange container loading at their own warehouse. The cargo is transported separately to the port or CFS where it is consolidated and loaded into containers under customs supervision.
