If you want to send smaller shipments or initial samples, we recommend air freight from China.

Pre-transport (delivery at the port)
Before your goods can be transported to a port for sea freight, they must first get there. China Import Trading is your reliable partner when it comes to organizing and carrying out pre-transport by land.
Post-transport (from port to recipient)
By the time your sea freight arrives at the receiving port and is unloaded, it has already traveled a long way. It has not yet arrived at its destination. The goods will arrive on time and in order after unloading at the receiving port. China Import Trading is ready to organize this transport step for you.
