What is CINA LOGISTICS and how do you help my business?

CINA LOGISTICS is a licensed China-based freight forwarder managing the entire supply chain from factory floor to global destination—including factory collection, 30 days free storage, export clearance, ocean/air/rail freight, import duties, and doorstep or Amazon FBA delivery.

What is DDP shipping from China, and why is it recommended?

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) is an all-inclusive shipping method where CINA LOGISTICS takes full operational responsibility for transport, customs paperwork, and prepaid import duties directly to your door with zero surprise destination fees.

Can you consolidate orders from multiple Chinese suppliers?

Yes. We provide up to 30 days of free storage at our Shenzhen and Yiwu hubs, inspect packaging, share photos/videos, repack to reduce volume, and combine multiple suppliers into one freight run.

Do you handle Amazon FBA, Walmart WFS, and TikTok Shop deliveries?

Yes. We handle FNSKU barcode labeling, pallet wrapping to platform standards, and book delivery appointments directly with fulfillment docks across the USA, UK, Europe, Canada, and UAE.
