Shipping destinations from China.

Which receiving location should I specify?

Start with your exact country, postcode and goods. Ask which route and delivery scope are suitable.

Which other destinations can I discuss?

For destinations outside the four regional guides, give the exact port, airport, warehouse or delivery address.

• North America: United States, Canada, Mexico.
• Central America and the Caribbean: Guatemala, Trinidad and Tobago, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Panama, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Bahamas.
• Middle East: United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Iraq.
• Asia Pacific: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand.
• Other named destinations: India, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan.

The desk checks the mode, cargo acceptance and requested delivery scope for your receiving point.

Sea containers with timber or bamboo packing need a destination check. See the sea-container packing questions before arranging the shipment.

What paperwork changes with the destination?

Specify the country, customs entry point, importer and intended delivery point; requirements differ by destination. For a Dubai shipment, Dubai Customs’ declaration service lists invoice, packing list and certificate of origin. Ask the importer or broker to confirm the declaration type and any product-specific permissions or additional documents. Add these questions to your Middle East enquiry.

Which mode suits my cargo?

• Sea freight for carton, pallet and container enquiries; discuss the port or address-delivery scope.
• Air and express enquiries with packed weight, dimensions and the receiving address.
• FBA forwarding and warehousing enquiries with carton details and receiving instructions.
• Customs and agency enquiries to define the paperwork and responsibilities.
