Frequently Asked Questions

How long does sea freight from China to Southeast Asia take?

Transit times range from 5-10 days depending on the destination port. Direct routes to Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia are fastest (5-7 days), while Indonesia and the Philippines take 7-10 days.

What’s the difference between FCL and LCL?

FCL (Full Container Load): You rent an entire container, ideal for shipments over 15 CBM. Lower cost per unit and faster transit.
LCL (Less than Container Load): You share container space with other shippers, suitable for smaller shipments under 15 CBM. More flexible but slightly longer transit due to consolidation.

What documents do I need for Southeast Asia sea freight?

Standard documents include: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, and FORM E Certificate of Origin (for preferential tariffs). Additional documents may be required based on product type (e.g., safety certifications for electronics, health certificates for food products).

Can you handle dangerous goods?

Yes, we are certified to transport dangerous goods (DG) in compliance with IMDG codes. We handle proper documentation, labeling, and carrier coordination for hazardous materials.

How do RCEP benefits affect my shipping costs?

RCEP has reduced or eliminated tariffs on thousands of products traded between China and ASEAN members. With proper FORM E certification, you can save 5-15% on import duties. Our team ensures your documentation is correctly prepared to claim these benefits.
