A Chinese, American or European festival, for instance, may have a major effect on prices and timelines due to its effect on logistics.

Freight shipments are usually fully booked days in advance due to lengthy vacation periods during important Chinese festivals.

The cost of shipping has increased as a result of the strong demand.

We’ve discovered that it’s preferable to schedule your cargo delivery as far in advance as you can during the Chinese New Year.

You’ll have to endure a protracted delivery delay if you don’t.

As a result, we provide you this knowledge to help you understand the fundamentals of this market based on our extensive experience controlling shipping time from China.

Estimated Transit Time (ETT) is the time between the Estimated Time of Departure from origin (ETD) and the Estimated Time of Arrival at the destination (ETA).

As for sea cargo transportation out of China, there’s only a very rough idea showing below.

Twenty-foot containers, with an internal capacity of 28 cubic meters, are typically utilized for transporting heavy goods. In contrast, 40-foot containers boast double the volume of their 20-foot counterparts, accommodating up to 68 cubic meters. Interestingly, both container sizes share the same maximum load weight.

In Chinese ports, both 20ft and 40ft containers are subject to a load limit of no more than 27 to 28 tons.

Full Container Load (FCL) shipping involves leasing an entire container for your cargo. This option is particularly economical when you have enough goods to fill a container or nearly fill it.

FCL shipping offers a time-saving alternative to Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping, as it eliminates the need for consolidating or deconsolidating your goods with those of other shippers.

With FCL, your container remains sealed for the entire transit, ensuring the security of your cargo. It will only be opened if customs officials select it for inspection, otherwise, it will remain sealed until it reaches your specified address or final destination.

When your shipment doesn't occupy a full container, our Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping service from China is the ideal solution. Your goods will be transported to our warehouse in China, where we'll consolidate them with other shipments into a single container for loading. We'll then ensure they are delivered to the required destination port.

With LCL shipping, your cargo shares container space with goods from other businesses. This method may result in a slightly longer delivery time due to the additional steps of packing and unpacking the container.

The cost for LCL shipping is typically determined by the greater of the cargo's volume or weight, with a minimum freight charge applied per cubic meter.

LCL shipping is suitable for cargo volumes ranging from 0 to 15 cubic meters (CBM). However, this can vary depending on the port of origin. For specific details and to discuss your shipping needs, please get in touch with us.
