Multi-supplier consolidation
We review whether receiving and consolidation can be arranged for your suppliers, cargo and route before you ship goods to a China-side location.
Freight forwarding & consolidation
Plan freight from China after cargo is ready
Already have suppliers? Share the pickup city, cargo type, dimensions and destination. We compare the available receiving, consolidation, documentation and shipping options for the confirmed request.
What we coordinate
Support matched to your current order
Sea, air & express options
Available modes, rate basis, carrier handling and estimated transit ranges are compared for the confirmed route and cargo.
Repacking & relabelling
Repacking, labels and packing-list work are specified only after the channel and physical handling requirements are confirmed.
Export paperwork
Required commercial and export documents depend on product, Incoterm and route. Responsibilities are confirmed before booking.
Storage buffer
Any storage, receiving window or consolidation period is subject to a confirmed service location and written scope.
Shipment updates
The agreed booking process identifies the contact, documents and milestones for your shipment; tracking availability varies by mode.
Compare options
Choose a mode based on cargo, destination and timing
| Mode | Typical door-to-door | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Express courier | Route-specific estimate | Samples, urgent restocks, under ~100kg | Highest cost per kg |
| Air freight | Route-specific estimate | Time-sensitive stock, 100–500kg | Fuel surcharges in peak season |
| Sea LCL | Route-specific estimate | Margin-sensitive goods under a full container | Port handling fees add up on small volumes |
| Sea FCL | Route-specific estimate | Full 20ft/40ft container loads | Needs volume to be worth it |
This is a planning comparison, not a service promise or rate card. A usable quote states the date, route, cargo, Incoterm, tax treatment and whether delivery is port-to-port or door-to-door.
Freight scope
What can be planned, and what must be confirmed first
Freight support is accepted only after the cargo, suppliers, route and responsibilities have been reviewed for the individual request.
May be coordinated after review
- Receiving and multi-supplier consolidation for confirmed suppliers, cargo and service location
- Sea, air or express options for approved cargo and available routes
- Repacking, labels and packing-list work when physical handling requirements are agreed
- FBA preparation such as labelling, bundling or palletising when Amazon requirements and written scope are confirmed
- Commercial and export-document coordination for the agreed product, Incoterm and route
Must be confirmed before booking
- Cargo eligibility, including batteries, liquids, powder, magnets and other restricted goods
- Supplier pickup, receiving location, dimensions, weight and cargo-ready date
- Amazon destination, labels, carton rules and appointment requirements for FBA shipments
- Incoterm, importer of record, duties and destination-side responsibility
- Carrier, route, service mode and the quote's delivery definition
Not within standard scope: dangerous goods, unverified cargo or suppliers, personal effects, and any shipment that lacks the required documentation or route approval.

Questions to settle before work begins
Sea, air or express — which should I choose?
The appropriate mode depends on cargo restrictions, dimensions, destination, time sensitivity, Incoterm and current route availability. A freight quote should compare only modes that are available for the confirmed shipment.
How long does shipping take?
Transit is an estimate that can change with carrier schedules, peak periods, inspections and customs. A quote should state the route, mode, date and whether it refers to port-to-port or door-to-door movement.
Can I use freight forwarding without sourcing?
This is the intended path for buyers with existing suppliers. We first confirm the pickup, cargo, receiving and export scope in writing; sourcing service is not a prerequisite where the freight scope is accepted.
Can you ship Amazon FBA?
FBA preparation and delivery must be confirmed against the current Amazon requirements, product category and available route. Do not send labels or cargo until the handling scope is agreed.
Do you handle customs and duties?
Customs and tax responsibility depends on the Incoterm, importer of record, product and destination. DDP, DAP or DDU availability must be confirmed for the individual route; this page is not a customs or tax guarantee.
Need help moving a product idea into a clear plan?
Share your product reference, target quantity and current stage. We use the details to clarify the supplier, sample, inspection and shipping support that may fit your request.
The service scope, fee basis and responsibilities are confirmed for the individual request before work begins.
