Route overview
Connect Yangtze River Delta suppliers through Shanghai gateways
Shanghai serves a broad East China manufacturing region. Cargo can be collected from Shanghai, Suzhou, Kunshan and nearby Jiangsu or Zhejiang suppliers before export by ocean or air.
Ocean services may use Shanghai-area terminals, while air freight can use the regional cargo market. The best option depends on supplier location, cargo-ready date, commodity, volume and the final North American destination.
