Supplier answer
How do I choose a forwarder for my first bulk order?
Start with the destination port, cargo volume and whether you need sea or air. Send the forwarder details so the FOB handover can be confirmed.

The detail
A forwarder is not the same as a courier. For bulk, the forwarder collects at the named Chinese port and handles the main freight.
Ask for the destination port, estimated carton volume, cargo value and any customs requirements. We confirm the handover point in the quote.
If you do not have a forwarder, tell us and we can quote a route separately; the buyer still owns the import clearance.
