Our partnership with Love Packages annually provides multiple 20 ft. containers of Christian literature to the ActsCo BookHouse Ministries in Asia on an annual basis. Love Packages covers the initial cost of shipping from the USA to Kolkata port. However, the cost of custom clearance and transhipment from Kolkata port to our two locations in India is more than the shipment from USA to India. India customs do not allow the 20 ft. containers to leave the shipyard, and must be offloaded to a 21 ton truck, that will travel 370 miles to our first location and 950 miles to our second location through over mountainous terrain and many road checkpoints.
For our first location, each 20 ft. container cost a minimum of $ 2,725 and we usually receive two containers per year. And for our second location, each 20 ft. container cost a minimum of $ 4,200 and we usually receive two containers per year as well. In the last seven years, we have received ten 20 ft. containers of Christian literature and the need is even more than ever.
Targeting only four 20 ft. containers per year for India, the annual funds needed to receive the containers is $ 13,850.
