What's Included
The service scope can include supplier cargo coordination, factory pickup, supplier consolidation, container booking, container loading, export customs documentation, ocean freight, shipping documents and destination delivery according to the confirmed shipment requirements.
Optional services such as destination customs clearance, duty and tax processing, inland transportation and door delivery can be added when required.
Cargo & Container Planning
Shipment capacity is evaluated based on cargo CBM, gross weight, package dimensions, pallet configuration and stacking requirements to determine the appropriate container type and quantity.
For multi-supplier or multi-container orders, cargo allocation can also consider supplier location, cargo readiness, purchase orders, weight distribution, loading sequence and delivery batches.
Container Configuration
Container selection is based on the cargo's volume, weight, dimensions and loading requirements.
|
Container |
Typical Application |
|
20GP |
Heavy or relatively compact cargo |
|
40GP |
General large-volume cargo |
|
40HQ |
High-volume cargo requiring additional cubic capacity |
The final container selection is determined by the combined cargo volume, gross weight, package dimensions and loading arrangement, rather than CBM alone.
Supplier Consolidation
Cargo from multiple Chinese suppliers can be coordinated for consolidation into the same container when the shipment structure and cargo readiness allow.
Cargo can be organized according to supplier, purchase order, product, destination or delivery batch, with receiving records maintained before container loading.
Shipment Schedule Management
Pickup, warehouse receiving, container loading and vessel departure dates are coordinated according to cargo readiness and the confirmed shipping schedule.
