01

Collection in the Yangtze Delta

Factory location, port selection and cut-off must be planned together. Pickup in Suzhou has different time windows from delivery to a Shanghai warehouse.

02

Compare LCL and FCL

LCL involves CFS handling and deconsolidation; FCL involves container positioning and free time. Total cost is more informative than the sea freight rate alone.

03

Hamburg is not always the endpoint

After customs release, the shipment can continue by truck, pallet or parcel service to German warehouses and businesses.

PRICING & PROCESS

Transport charges: how they are calculated

International freight rates change with route, departure, capacity, fuel and currency. The main transport is therefore quoted at the current daily rate rather than presented as a permanently valid fixed price.
