Some start-up importers are usually confused to choose a suitable way to ship their product. 

Today, let's do some summary in this blog to help you clarify it.

• Express:

You may hear about FEDEX, UPS, DHL, Aramex. all of these companies have express service. 

Generally, Express is an economical way for small product(less than 30kg), The transit time is fast, they could delivery your cargo in one week. 

And most express service is in DAP term, you need to hand up the puchase record, commercial invoice to your local customs office, pay the import duty. After the customs release your cargo, you could wait the postman knock your door. 

• DDP special line:

DDP special line is initially designed for Amazon warehouse, If your country have Amazon warehouse, your could use this service. 

The min order for DDP special line is 13KG to US, EU, AU, CA. other area like Middle East, Southeast Asia is 1CBM.

If your cargo are of normal size(Less than 30KG each & length less than 1.1m), DDP special line is the best choice. 

The range we suggest to use special line is 13KG to 10CBM. 

• Air freight, LCL sea freight, LCL railway freight. 

If the DDP speical line haven't cover your location, or your cargo are in pallet(of big size and weight). you can choose air freight, LCL sea freight and LCL railway freight. 

Generally Air freight's min order is 45KG.

LCL sea freight and railway freight is 1CBM. 

• FCL sea freight, FCL railway freight:

If your cargo is over 10CBM or 10 Ton, you could consider the full container shipping. You can make us send DAP quotation for both LCL and FCL to compare the shipping cost.
