Not every container needs to be brand new. Understanding grades helps you match condition to budget — and every unit we sell is backed by our 5-Point Condition Guarantee and described exactly as it stands.
One-Trip / New
Best conditionManufactured overseas and used for a single cargo trip to the US. Near-new appearance with minimal wear, factory paint, and solid doors and seals.
Best for: Container homes, offices, retail, anything visible or modified.
Cargo Worthy (CWO)
Certified for shippingStructurally certified for international shipping. Some surface rust and cosmetic dings, but wind- and water-tight with sound floors, doors and seals.
Best for: Storage, job sites, workshops — great value with a structural guarantee.
Wind & Water Tight (WWT)
Dry storageRetired from shipping service but sealed against the elements. More cosmetic wear and rust; doors open and close and the interior stays dry.
Best for: On-site storage where looks don’t matter and budget does.
As-Is
BudgetSold as inspected. May have dents, heavier rust, or doors/seals that need attention. Priced accordingly and described honestly.
