Larger and heavier shipments are usually more cost-effective to ship by sea freight, while smaller and lighter shipments may be better suited for air freight or courier services. Fragile or high-value goods may require special handling and packaging, which can affect the shipping method you choose.
Shipping by sea freight may have minimum volume requirements, such as a minimum weight or number of cubic meters, so it’s important to check with your shipping company or freight forwarder for any limitations.
Also, other key factors are the budget, the urgency of delivery, the destination, and the requirement of the destination country.
We also offer rail freight, road freight and multimodal options between China and Europe.
