Introduce Our China Consolidation Shipment Services
Suppose I’m ordering 50,000 items from 30 suppliers in China. Is there a service that provides a waiting room to accumulate everything before I decide to ship it to my country?
The service you’re looking for is called a consolidated shipping service, which typically involves three key steps: collecting items from various suppliers, consolidating and fortifying packaging, and finally shipping from China.
China consolidation services typically include the following:
1. Assisting with payments to suppliers on behalf of the client:
In this service, the consolidation provider can make payments to multiple suppliers on behalf of the client, simplifying the financial process and ensuring timely payments to suppliers. This reduces the complexity of managing multiple suppliers for the client and centralizes financial management.
2. Collecting goods from different suppliers and conducting quality inspections:
The consolidation provider collects goods from various suppliers and conducts quality checks to ensure that all products meet the client’s quality standards before shipment, thus avoiding issues such as returns or disputes due to quality problems. Or, do some custom packaging.
3. Handling export procedures:
This involves assisting the company in preparing and submitting various documents required for export, such as customs declarations, invoices, packing lists, etc., ensuring that all documentation is complete and compliant with export regulations for smooth customs clearance.
4. Coordinating transportation and logistics:
The consolidation provider arranges international transportation of goods and selects appropriate modes of transport (such as sea freight, air freight, etc.). They also manage related logistics tasks, such as cargo consolidation, loading, and scheduling shipments to ensure timely delivery of goods.
2 Ways of China Customs Declaration + Freight Forwarding Consolidation Services:
- First Scenario:
If you do not need official import/export customs records, the agent will typically use the DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) method to send the goods directly to you. In this model, the agent handles all related duties and fees, and you simply pay a consolidated fee to have the goods delivered safely to you.
- Second Scenario:
If your company requires formal customs declarations and invoices, the process will differ. The supplier will issue you an invoice(10-13%), and a consolidation company will collect the goods, then export them under their company name through formal customs procedures. In this case, you need to transfer the payment to the public account of the company handling the export. They will assist with the payment process and ensure the goods are exported smoothly.
These two models cater to different China consolidation business needs, and the choice depends on your company’s specific requirements regarding tax compliance, invoice handling, and other related matters.
By offering these services, China consolidation services help clients streamline supply chain management, reduce logistics costs, and ensure a smooth and efficient export process.
