Route overview

Use Qingdao for Shandong industrial and commercial exports

Qingdao can serve machinery, tires, auto parts, equipment, consumer goods and other exports from Shandong. Factory pickup and packing details are especially important for heavy, oversized or industrial cargo.

Ocean service can move as FCL or LCL depending on the cargo, while air freight may be arranged through a suitable regional airport. Tianjin or another North China gateway may be compared for certain supplier locations and services.
