China Ocean Freight
FCL, LCL & RoRo from Every Major Chinese Port.
Freight China Logistics is your end-to-end ocean freight partner for China-sourced goods. We manage the complete import supply chain — from factory coordination in China through ocean transit, US customs clearance, and final mile delivery to your door. Whether you need a single 20ft container or a continuous program of full container shipments, our ocean freight team delivers on time, on budget, and fully compliant. We service all major Chinese ports with direct carrier relationships on every major trans-Pacific and Asia-Europe trade lane.
China Ocean Freight Services
FCL — Full Container Load
Full Container Load shipping gives you exclusive use of a 20ft (TEU) or 40ft (FEU) container. Your goods are packed at origin, sealed, and delivered — no co-loading with other importers. FCL is the most cost-efficient option for shipments exceeding 15 CBM. We offer standard dry containers, high-cube containers (for volume-heavy cargo), and refrigerated reefer containers for temperature-sensitive goods.
LCL — Less Than Container Load
If your shipment is under 15 CBM or you cannot fill a full container, LCL consolidation is your best option. Your cargo is grouped with compatible freight from other shippers in a shared container. You pay only for the space you use. Our LCL service includes weekly sailings from all major Chinese ports to US West Coast, East Coast, and Gulf gateways.
RoRo — Roll-on / Roll-off
Roll-on/Roll-off vessels are purpose-built to transport wheeled cargo — vehicles, machinery on wheels, construction equipment, and agricultural equipment. RoRo is typically faster and less expensive than container shipping for eligible cargo. We coordinate RoRo shipments from Guangzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Qingdao to US, European, and Middle Eastern ports.
Factory to Port — Complete China Export Management
Managing an ocean freight shipment from China involves dozens of moving parts. Freight China coordinates the entire export chain so you don’t have to:
Supplier Coordination
We communicate directly with your Chinese supplier to confirm cargo readiness, packing specifications, and export documentation requirements — in Mandarin when needed.
Inland Transport
Truck, rail, or barge from factory to port — we manage inland logistics from any manufacturing location in China to the export port of your choice.
Export Documentation
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and phytosanitary certificates where required. We prepare, verify, and submit all export documents.
Ocean Carrier Booking
We hold carrier contracts with COSCO, Evergreen, MSC, Hapag-Lloyd, Yang Ming, and ONE — giving you access to competitive rates and reliable schedules on every major trade lane.
