Shipping & Freight

For all shipping options you must also consider customs and paperwork. More details on these subjects can be found under logistical

If you already work closely with a shipping company we are happy to coordinate with whichever company you prefer. Note that while a company may handle the logistics on your end very well, they may have significant problems in China. We can also make recommendations from several companies who we know are capable of excellent service on both ends.
