Shipping From China
Shipping from China is a complex process. From a sourcing agent's point of view, the key problem is helping customers balance price and speed.
Sea, air, rail or express

By Sea
Features: Lowest price, longest transit, largest loading capacity; sensitive to weather or port congestion; most chosen by customers.
Best for: Large quantities, low value, non-urgent goods.
FCL 1×20'GP: 5.69×2.35×2.35m, ~17.5t, ~26–28 CBM
FCL 1×40'GP: 11.8×2.35×2.35m, ~22t, ~56–58 CBM
FCL 1×40'HQ: 11.8×2.35×2.69m, ~26t, ~72–74 CBM
LCL: your goods share a container with others — ideal when volume doesn't fill one.
By Air
Features: Higher cost (usually 3–5× ocean freight), very short transit, strict limits on size/weight (under 30kg per piece) and sensitive goods (e.g. batteries).
Best for: Small, high-value, urgent goods.
Direct flights: 3–7 days (China–Europe/US)
Air parcel (+last mile): ~10 days
By Rail
Features: ~30% faster than sea, moderate freight (1.7–2× sea, 1/3–1/2 of air), convenient customs clearance — but fixed routes, LCL generally not accepted.
Best for: Exports to Europe, medium value, non-urgent goods.
China–Europe Railway Express: ~12–20 days
By Express
Features: Highest cost, shortest transit, door-to-door; strict size limits (L+W+H ≤300cm per piece, overweight surcharge); higher customs risk.
Best for: Sample batches, urgent documents, small high-value items.
Standard: 1–5 days (China–Europe/US)
Economy: 5–10 days (~30% cheaper)
