Overwidth refers to shipments or cargo that exceed the standard width limits of containers or transport equipment. It encompasses goods or equipment that cannot fit within the typical width restrictions due to their dimensions or structure. Overwidth cargo may require specialized handling, such as securing permits, using specialized transportation equipment, or obtaining clearance for narrow passages or roadways.
