Ocean Freight: FCL & LCL Shipping from China

FCL and LCL freight coordinated from China with cargo, customs, and destination conditions reviewed before booking.

The Problem

Ocean freight shouldn't feel like a gamble

Small and mid-sized importers run into the same frustrations again and again.

Rate Volatility

Spot rates swing week to week, making it hard to budget landed costs with confidence.

Space Rollovers

Booked containers get bumped to the next sailing, throwing off delivery commitments.

Hidden Surcharges

Quotes balloon after booking with fees that were never disclosed up front.

Customs Delays

Paperwork errors leave containers sitting at the port, racking up demurrage fees.

Which Is Right for You

FCL vs. LCL

We help you choose — and often mix both — based on your volume and timeline.
