Delivery of goods from China

Several types of transport are involved in multimodal transportation. Air delivery is suitable for perishable goods, urgent shipments, valuable equipment, etc. The goods arrive from China to the airport in a few days. If the cargo is not dangerous, railway transportation will help reduce costs and increase speed compared to sea transportation. This method is suitable for groupage shipments and almost all bulky items.

It is convenient to transport goods by road for short distances. Special vehicles will provide suitable transportation conditions. For example, refrigerated trucks transport chilled food, vaccines, medicines. Delivery time is several weeks. Large modular containers are shipped from China by sea. It is a reliable and popular type of transportation with low freight costs, minimal risk of loss of shipment.

How long will the process take

The timing of cargo transportation from China depends on many circumstances:

• seasons;
• paperwork;
• certification;
• time for loading / unloading;
• other terms.

The ports are subject to downtime due to weather conditions. Changes in customs regulations also lead to delays. Cost depends on:

• route length;
• type of cargo: valuable, dangerous, etc .;
• their weight, dimensions;
• the urgency of the item;
• type of transport;
• additional services, etc.

The type of means of transportation affects the delivery time, its cost. Air travel is the fastest and most expensive way. Departure by sea will be cheaper, but it will take about two months. The price for transportation by plane is about ten times higher than by ship.

Transportation rates increase or decrease over time due to changes in seasonal, bunker allowances, new regulations, etc. The starting price may change noticeably in a month.

Types of poisoning

We deliver from China a wide variety of goods: cosmetics, electronics, food, medicines, building materials, spare parts, etc. We work with different types of shipments:

• general - for one customer;
• accompanying - the parcel is loaded onto a free vehicle that goes in the desired direction;
• prefabricated - the container is assembled from relatively small parcels for different customers;
• special - goods and materials that need special transportation conditions: biological products, refrigerated products, fragile items, etc.

Groupage shipments are a convenient option, suitable even for small parcels, and relatively inexpensive. The time limit is increased by waiting for the entire batch to be collected.

Main routes

Manufacturing in China is concentrated in the southeast. Different transport is used for delivery. Many goods are shipped along the Harbin railway via Manchuria-Zabaikalsk and Suifenhe-Ussuriisk. After crossing the border, goods go along the Transsib.

Another well-known land route is transit through Kazakhstan through the Dostyk-Alashankou transshipment point. The travel time is usually about a week. By road, shipments are brought to customers who are located near the border of China. A widespread option is when goods are delivered to Russia by road through Donging, Suifenhe, etc. Then they are transported by freight trains on the Transsib.

There are over 300 international seaports in China. The waterway is longer, but cheaper and more convenient. Parcels are sent from Shanghai, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Yantian or other port cities to Russian (St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, Vostochny Nakhodka, Novorossiysk, etc.), Finnish (Kotka) or Baltic ports. Further - by cars or by rail.

Air delivery from China is carried out through Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Sanya and other airports. Usually used for fragile, urgent, perishable goods. A flight to a consolidation warehouse in another country is possible, and then a flight to China. This method is a little cheaper, but takes longer.

Conditions of carriage

There are three types of terms of delivery from China: CIF, FOB and EXW:

• CIF - a convenient option, the seller is responsible for the integrity of the cargo, provides insurance to the point specified by the buyer.
• FOB - the seller is responsible for the order before loading on board the vessel, further processing is the buyer's problem.
• EXW is an analogue of the term “self-pickup”, when the manufacturer releases products from the enterprise, and the buyer assumes all transportation costs, registration, risks.

Each option has its own advantages. If the recipient does not pay for the delivery, then he does not influence the process either. For example, when there are delays at customs under the CIF condition, he can only wait. With self-pickup, the whole procedure is under control, but you will have to make your own route, find a carrier, draw up documents, etc.
