Find answers to common questions about our products, services, and ordering process.
Sea freight is the transportation of goods primarily via cargo ships across oceans and seas. It is the most common method for large-volume international shipments and is generally more cost-effective for heavy or bulky china cargo shipping compared to air freight. The process involves booking space on a vessel, cargo preparation, port handling, customs procedures, and final delivery.
Key factors influencing sea freight costs include the gross weight and volumetric weight of your goods, the chosen shipping method (e.g., FCL container shipping or LCL consolidation China), fuel surcharges (BAF), currency exchange rates, current market demand, and origin/destination port fees. We provide transparent quotes based on your specific shipment details.
FCL (Full Container Load) means your goods occupy an entire shipping container; you pay for the whole container regardless of whether it's completely full. LCL (Less-than-Container Load) means your goods share container space with shipments from other shippers. FCL is generally more cost-effective per unit for larger cargo from China, while LCL is ideal for smaller quantities, offering a flexible china sea freight option.
Essential documents for international sea freight from China usually include a Bill of Lading (original or telex release), Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and customs declaration documents. Depending on the cargo type and destination (e.g., USA or Europe), other specific documents like a Certificate of Origin or import licenses might be required. We guide you through all necessary ocean freight documentation.
Yes, Zbao Logistics can assist with shipping certain classes of hazardous materials via sea freight, provided they comply with all IMO (International Maritime Organization) regulations and carrier-specific rules. We will help ensure all required documentation (like MSDS), labeling, and handling procedures are correctly in place for safe transit.
Absolutely. Once your ocean freight shipment is booked and en route, we provide you with a tracking number and access to our online tracking system. We also offer regular status updates on your sea shipment throughout its journey so you are always informed.
While cargo insurance is not legally mandatory for all sea freight services, it is highly recommended. Ocean transit carries inherent risks (e.g., damage from weather, handling, loss). Insurance protects your financial interest against unforeseen events. Zbao Logistics can arrange comprehensive cargo insurance for your peace of mind.
Sea freight delivery times from China vary significantly based on the specific origin and destination ports, shipping line, route, and service type (e.g., standard vs. express sea lanes).
To the USA West Coast: Approx. 13-25 days.
To the USA East Coast: Approx. 25-40 days.
To main European ports: Approx. 25-35 days. We will provide a more precise Estimated Time of Transit (ETT) with your specific ocean freight China quote.
