When Should You Choose Air Freight from China
Bulk or heavy
cargo
choose sea freight when the lowest landed cost matters.
Nearly full container loads
if your volume fills most of a 20 GP or 40 GP, FCL is the most economical.
Multi-supplier consolidation
combine shipments at our China hubs before export to reduce cost and handling.
Stable demand
sea freight fits when 2 to 5 weeks of transit time works for your replenishment plan.
FCL or LCL
FCL is recommended for full loads, delivering the lowest unit cost. LCL suits smaller volumes, offering weekly consolidations and transparent handling fees.
FCL, Full Container Load
- Container sizes include 20 GP, 40 GP, 40 HQ
- Best for high volume with one consignee
- Lowest unit cost with less handling and faster unloading
LCL, Less than Container Load
- Weekly consolidations from Shenzhen, Ningbo, Shanghai, Qingdao, Xiamen, Tianjin
- Charged by weight or CBM with transparent origin and destination fees
- Ideal for smaller volumes or multiple suppliers that need consolidation
