Container Conditions Explained

One Trip Containers—These are the newest containers available for sale in the USA. They were used once to get the container and its contents to the United States, so they are referred to as new by many sellers. They are in excellent condition.

Cargo-Worthy (CW)—These containers are in good condition, with no major rust/no dents. They have normal wear and tear and have been used but not in bad shape. They have been inspected and deemed cargo-worthy; they can be used for export outside of the USA.

Wind-Water Tight (WWT)—Mostly the same as above, but these containers can’t be used for exports. They are for domestic use only, and they have been inspected.

As-is—These containers are generally damaged, but they are also repairable. They cannot be used in any capacity until they are repaired and then inspected.
