Sea Freight (LCL & FCL)
Sea freight is the most economical option for shipping goods from China to your country.
Suitable for bulky or heavy cargo, with a minimum of 1 cubic metre charged
More economical per cubic metre than air freight
Transit typically 18–60 days depending on destination
Consolidation available for shipments from multiple suppliers
FCL (Full Container Load) is recommended when shipment volume justifies using a dedicated container.
LCL (Less than Container Load) allows smaller shipments to share container space with other importers, making sea freight accessible for lower volume orders.
Air Freight
Air freight is suitable for time-sensitive shipments or higher value goods where faster delivery is required. Depending on shipment size and urgency, this may include standard airport-to-airport or door-to-door air freight services.
Fast transit typically 3–10 days depending on destination
Suitable for urgent stock replenishment or commercial samples
Can be more flexible than sea freight for medium-sized orders
Door-to-door delivery available
Higher cost compared to sea freight
