  1. 12–18 days — point-to-point from China

    Trucking is the fastest overland delivery method from China after express. 12–18 days point-to-point, with no sea leg and no intermediate transloading. The optimal choice for urgent shipments.

  2. Offices in Shanghai and Chengdu — first mile

    Our own specialists in China arrange the first mile: factory pickup, document checks, consolidation. This eliminates errors at the origin stage — the cargo ships out correctly.

  3. Customs clearance within a single service loop

    Customs brokers prepare the declaration, calculate duties and VAT, and support cargo release. No need to look for a separate customs representative. One responsible partner — from factory to warehouse.
