The time limit of transportation varies according to different countries and different destination ports; the time limit for shipment to North America, Western Europe ports after loading in Chinese ports is about 30-45 days; usually suitable for bulky shipments, or lower value shipment.

2- Air Freight

Air freight is the fastest shipping way. The time limit for transportation from any airport in China to any airport around the world is basically 2-5 days; however, due to the high freight cost, as well as additional loading port and destination ports charges, it is only applicable to light and small items, or shipment with high value and large volume.

Express freight is a door-to-door air + delivery logistics method operated by international express companies. The transportation time is usually 3-7 days from receipt to delivery; express freight is suitable for the light and small items with low cargo volume (usually below 300KG). ), or samples, or documents.

Railway transportation is mainly aimed at countries along the Eurasian railway line. The time limit is usually 15-25 days after loading, but the cost is more expensive than sea freight and cheaper than air freight.

Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and Western Europe)
