Client Case
Who Is Hiring Us as Their Consolidation Agent?
Here is one real client inquiry from a UK importer looking for China consolidation services.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am based in the UK and regularly purchase goods from multiple suppliers located in different cities across China.
I am currently looking for a China-based freight forwarder who can act as a long-term logistics partner and provide sea freight LCL with consolidation, including:
- China warehouse address for supplier deliveries
- Receiving goods from multiple suppliers at different times
- Warehouse storage and consolidation into one shipment
- Sea freight LCL from China to the UK
- UK customs clearance and final delivery
At this stage, production schedules and shipment volumes vary, so I am not requesting a shipment-specific quote yet. Instead, I would appreciate information regarding:
- Standard LCL sea freight rates (per CBM)
- Warehouse receiving and consolidation fees
- UK destination charges and customs clearance fees
- DAP and DDP shipping options
- Typical transit times China to UK
- Ports or warehouses used for LCL consolidation
This information will help me select a reliable forwarder before finalizing shipping plans.
Kind regards
Incoterms Guide
The Incoterms You Should Choose for Consolidation
For multi-supplier consolidation, FCA is usually preferred, FOB can work, and EXW is generally less ideal.
| Option | Advantages | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FCA (Recommended) | Supplier provides export documents while your forwarder controls pickup. | Best flexibility |
| FOB | Supplier handles inland transport and export paperwork. | Use same loading port |
| EXW | Less ideal for export clearance. | Usually discouraged |
Client Case
Case Study: Request for Export & Consolidation Agent Services
One of our clients sent us the following inquiry:
Dear Sir or Madam,
We are currently sourcing metal storage shelving from a manufacturer located in Dongyang, China (HS Code 73144200).
Order Details:
- Product: Metal storage shelving
- HS Code: 73144200
- Order value: approx. CNY 13,000
- Gross weight: approx. 2,000 kg
- Volume: approx. 4 CBM
As the manufacturer does not hold an export license and cannot receive international payments, we are looking for a China-based agent to act on our behalf.
We would like to know if you can provide the following services:
- Purchase goods from the factory
- Issue commercial invoice and packing list
- Act as exporter of record
- Apply for VAT
- Handle export customs declarations and documentation
- Ensure compliance documentation
Quality inspection is normally handled by Bureau Veritas, and shipping (LCL to Lisbon Port) is arranged through our own forwarder. However, we are open to quotations for inspection and freight as well.
Additionally, we may require future consolidation of goods from multiple suppliers.
Please advise:
- If you provide this service
- Your procedure
- Service fees
- Estimated handling timeline
Kind regards
