Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common ocean freight, container volume, and customs questions.

FCL (Full Container Load) is charged at a flat rate per container regardless of weight (up to statutory payload limits). LCL (Less than Container Load) is billed by volume (per CBM) or chargeable weight ratio (usually 1 CBM = 1,000 KG or 1 CBM = 500 KG depending on shipping line terms).
Standard ocean shipments require a Commercial Invoice (CI), Packing List (PL), and Bill of Lading (B/L). Depending on goods, a Certificate of Origin (CO), MSDS (for batteries/chemicals), or Fumigation Certificate (for raw wooden pallets) may also be required. CINA LOGISTICS prepares and verifies all documents.
Under FOB (Free on Board), your Chinese supplier pays local origin costs to place goods on the ship, and you handle ocean freight and destination customs. Under our DDP Sea Freight Service, CINA LOGISTICS handles origin pickup, ocean shipping, export/import duties, and doorstep delivery with all taxes fully prepaid.
