SINO Shipping supports delivery methods

Ocean Freight

• FCL (Full Container Load), you purchase one or more full containers for shipping.

• LCL (Less than Container Load) means you may not have enough goods to fill a whole container. The contents of the container are separated again and arrive at the destination.

• RORO (Roll-On, Roll-Off), your cargo can board the cargo ship without leaving the truck it is in. Cars simply park on the ship and drive off from one end.

• Dry bulk shipping, where specific specialist commodities are dumped into the holds of a ship rather than transported in containers.

air transport

SINO Shipping provides air freight services from China to any other country and vice versa. Take air freight to Europe as an example, the air cargo transmission delay is up to 7 days, which is faster than the usual 35/40 days by sea freight.

SINO Shipping has a well-tested network of professional partners, enabling SINO Shipping to manage your shipment in the shortest possible time and with the utmost care.

Air freight is suitable for all types of products, from the most fragile to the heaviest.

Aviation regulations are very strict, which is why SINO Shipping goes to great lengths to carefully examine your requirements. After a precise analysis of your needs, SINO Shipping's team will ensure that you are provided with a freight service that fully complies with your expectations, needs and the nature of your cargo.

Rail freight

In recent years, Chinese railway companies have transported goods via the famous Silk Road Railway, which connects 12,000 kilometers of track via the Trans-Siberian Railway.

An exciting project has just been launched: the first train from Yiwu to London (Barking, East London). It departed on January 1st and arrived at its destination on January 18th, which means that the average transit time to London is 18 days, more than the 15 days to Lyon. As a reminder, remember that it takes at least 30 days for a container to reach a French port.

This new service for importers and exporters allows for a fast and cost-effective way to travel to and from China.

Note SINO : This service may save you 50% directly compared to importing from China by air freight. It can also save you 12 to 14 days compared to sea freight.

Express freight

One of the best options is the express delivery service, because with this service you can receive your parcel delivered by a person worldwide within a week.

This is a convenient method because you can save a ton of shipping costs on these smaller packages, and if the value of your U.S. import is less than $2,000, you don’t have to clear the goods yourself.

The rates for these small packages are cheaper than LCL ocean freight. You must compare before making any decision.

Many Chinese sellers from eBay or AliExpress are still using Hong Kong Post or China Post as their first global shipping option.

However, these shipping times can be very problematic for buyers who are eagerly awaiting their packages and have to wait. This is especially problematic when you are waiting for original documents such as certificates of origin and bills of lading to clear customs.

Many other sellers have found that using one of the world’s four largest couriers like FedEx, UPS, DHL or TNT provides faster delivery times, and they are all comparable.

Not only that, they have a very strong brand recognition all over the world and have become a trusted courier that people rely on, trust and know will deliver their goods through them.

customs clearance

Any goods imported into China are subject to a 13% or 17% VAT.

The 13% tax only concerns certain categories of goods in the agricultural sector and certain types of utilitarian items. For other goods, a 17% tax will be imposed. Input VAT (sales x VAT rate) is the amount of VAT paid when purchasing taxable products or services, which can be deducted from the TVA downstream. In addition, it is the amount of VAT on taxable goods or services submitted by the seller to the buyer. China Consumption Tax (CT) applies to companies and organizations that produce and import the following products: taxable products, consignment taxable products, or taxable sales products. All products that are considered toxic to human health, such as: tobacco, alcohol, luxury goods (jewelry, cosmetics) and top-of-the-line products (cars and motorcycles) are imports subject to consumption tax in China.

For imported goods, excise taxes may depend on the type of product.

Tax calculations can be made on an “ad valorem” or quantity basis.
