The common ways of Sichuan import freight forwarding mainly include the following. Sea transportation is suitable for large quantities of goods, with relatively low cost and long transportation time. For example, when importing a large amount of building materials, ores, etc. from abroad. The general process is that foreign suppliers send the goods to the designated port, and the freight forwarder arranges booking, customs declaration, etc.
Air transportation is fast and suitable for high - value and time - sensitive goods, such as electronic products, high - end clothing, etc. The freight forwarder needs to assist in handling flight booking, customs clearance, etc.
Land transportation is mainly for the transportation of goods from countries bordering our country, such as importing fruits from Southeast Asia, and completing customs clearance and transshipment at the border port.
Railway transportation has good stability and has developed rapidly in recent years. The China - Europe freight train often transports mechanical equipment, auto parts, etc. The freight forwarder is responsible for arranging the transportation plan, port handover, etc.
