Road freight from/to China
Road transport is typically an essential approach since it basically connects the many endpoints: your warehouse, residence, or workplace and the departure and arrival gateways such as airports, railway stations, and harbors.
Please keep in mind that for small distances, we could use the truck straight for a door-to-door service. This is true, for instance, of cross-border transportation.
Sea freight from/to China
Since it enables us to move huge quantities to the other side of the planet at an affordable pricing, maritime transport is the most extensively utilized way of transportation. You can mail your items using one of two methods:
- FCL (full container load): You book the entire container. From leaving to arriving, the cargo is totally enclosed.
- LCL (less than a container load): You combine your products with those of other carriers in a single container.
Air freight from/to China
Even though it is neither a cheap nor environmentally friendly method of transport, air cargo allows items to be shipped across great distances and swiftly. After a few days of transportation, your shipment will have traveled around the world. Again, you have the option of selecting one of two formulas:
- Traditional Air Freight: You use the area provided by traditional carriers such as Air France, Jet Airways, and Emirates Airline...
- Express Air Freight: If you have a little shipment weighing less than 100 Kgs, we recommend sending it by an express provider such as DocShipper, Fedex, DHL, TNT, UPS...

China customs clearance services
