Shipping Procedure
International shipping is quite complicated, involving various steps such as sourcing, purchasing, in-warehouse handling, dispatching, working with a Chinese shipping agent, customs declarations, navigating the Chinese customs office, international shipping, destination government customs, goods clearance, obtaining certificates, Bill of Lading (BOL), spot checks, local warehouses/agents, and final delivery. This complexity can be overwhelming.
Fortunately, shipping agents can simplify this process for you. However, it's important to be aware that these convenient services come with significant risks. Research the Chinese title:
“资金链断裂、业务中断、跑路、破产倒闭……物流业到悲观时刻了吗”
You’ll find that each year, over 44,000 shipping companies disappear or go bankrupt.
Choosing the right shipping agent is crucial. When you entrust them with your shipping items and fees, you may find yourself in a vulnerable position. Unfortunately, many clients tend to compare prices and opt for the cheapest option rather than selecting a reliable partner.
