\u00a0<\/strong>by sea will be another choice, which is around 1\/3 price of international express, especially for remote regions like Africa countries where other express companies charge high freight.<\/span><\/p>\nAnother good thing is that it calculates all goods\u00a0only by weight<\/strong>, never by dimension weight, which means good for light weight products.<\/span><\/p>\nBut it has 20Kg limitation for each package, so you have to separate your cargo into several cartons. And it normally take around 2 month on shipping, so only when you really care about shipping rate, you will choose it.<\/span><\/p>\nExample, an\u00a0Australian customers buy kids toys from us every 2 month. Every shipment will be 5-6 cartons, around 100 Kg, 0.5 CBM. This volume is too less for sea freight shipping (the LCL), and if shipped by express, the freight cost will be calculated by dimension weight which is 2-3 times higher than by China Post.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n3.Air Freight -Fast and Suitable for More than 500Kg Cargo<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nAir freight is cheaper but faster than express. But your cargo should better be\u00a0more than 500Kg<\/strong>, or international express will be better. And their dimensional weight is calculated as length*width*height\/6000, less than international express.<\/span><\/p>\nThis shipping way is\u00a0airport to airport<\/strong>, which means supplier have to send the cargo to the airport and manage the custom export process. When cargo arrives the airport of your place, you have to pick up them at airport and do the custom import process. If the closet international airport is quite far away from your place, then the domestic forwarding cost will be also a lot of money.<\/span><\/p>\nNote: Hazardous Articles of Air Transportation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nAll airlines have strict rules about shipping hazardous articles cargo, including products which are easy to burn or explode, or chemical products which are toxic. Balancing scooter is one among them because of lithium batter.\u00a0So it\u2019s\u00a0not possible<\/strong>\u00a0to ship this\u00a0cargo via international express, air freight, or China Post Air Package. The only choice is sea shipping.<\/span><\/p>\n4.Less than Container Load Sea Shipping<\/strong>\uff08<\/strong>LCL<\/strong>\uff09<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nLCL sea shipping is the most economical way among all shipping methods,\u00a0when your cargo ismore than 2-3CBM<\/strong>. If even less than that, we would recommend you to choose China Post or others. Because every sea shipping has fixed fees for export process in China, around $100-$150, and also fixed import fees when cargo arrive port. So shipping only 2CBM will cost a lot money.<\/span><\/p>\nSea freight is port to port, so don\u2019t forget to count in the forwarding cost from the port to your warehouse. If your place is far away from sea port or there\u2019s even no sea port in your country, you\u2019d better to find a local shipping company to inquire them how to ship from China. Because they know the shipping to your place better than Chinese suppliers or forwarders.<\/span><\/p>\nThere is one\u00a0special situation<\/strong>: if your cargo is around 15-20CBM, it\u2019s\u00a0cheaper and faster<\/strong>\u00a0to use a 20GP container rather than LCL.<\/span><\/p>\nTips<\/strong>: If there are still some empty space left in your container, you can buy some low-value goods or bulky cargo and ship them together. Because these products can be considered as free shipping. Toys importers usually will buy\u00a0Pit Balls<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0fill\u00a0the free space of containers.<\/span><\/p>\nThere existing few forwarders who specialized in LCL\u00a0in certain countries<\/strong>, and you can get very cheap price from them. And they will help you handle custom process first, then you pick up cargo in their warehouse. However, finding them is a little difficult.<\/span><\/p>\nOne forwarder we worked with are specialized in African line. They can even accept as less as 0.1 CBM cargo. For example, they charge $280\/CBM to Nairobi, so 0.1 CBM only cost $28. You just need to pick up your cargo in their warehouse located in Nairobi, so it\u2019s supper economic and convenient.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n5.Full Container Load Sea Shipping<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nIt\u2019s well-known that full container load sea shipping is the cheapest shipping way, which is frequently used by our large customers as well. The following are the basis capacities of three common containers:<\/span><\/p>\n\n20GP 5 ton \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 26CBM<\/span><\/li>\n40GP 22 ton\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 54CBM<\/span><\/li>\n40HQ 22 ton\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 68CBM<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThis shipping way will be introduced in detail in future articles.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How to Ship Products When Import from China If you are\u00a0doing small business\u00a0and usually import much less than 20GP container load products one time, or you just start your business in importing from China, this article can give you some useful suggestions about shipping, by analyzing different kinds of situation you may run into. …<\/p>\n
