QUOTE PREPARATION01
Prepare a freight request that can be assessed
Product and end use · package count · weight and dimensions · China pickup city · destination city and postal code · ready date · deadline · special cargo details
Knowledge centre
Prepare better. Ask sharper questions.
Practical checklists for importers planning shipments from China. These guides support a conversation; they are not route-specific quotations or legal advice.
Use the shipment brief builderCOST COMPARISON02
Compare the full scope, not one freight number
Check origin pickup and handling · main freight · destination handling · customs responsibilities · delivery scope · exclusions and validity
CONSOLIDATION03
Decide whether multiple suppliers should move together
Compare supplier ready dates · collection distances · warehouse handling · packing compatibility · delay exposure · expected transport saving
SPECIAL CARGO04
Surface acceptance questions before quotation
Batteries · liquids or powders · magnets or motors · branded goods · wood packaging · oversized or fragile pieces
PLANNING05
Know when an earlier plan needs recalculation
Cargo quantity changes · dimensions change · ready date moves · destination changes · deadline tightens · validity expires
RESPONSIVENESS06
Use structured information to get a faster useful answer
Lead with the constraint · attach clear cargo facts · mark unknowns · separate estimates from commitments · agree the next action
Content standard
Destination-specific guidance is published only after route and operational review. If a rule or carrier condition may change, we verify it for the actual shipment.
Start with the facts
Turn the checklist into a shipment conversation.
Prepare the cargo, route and priority details once, then continue through WhatsApp, email or WeChat.
