Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What information is required to get an accurate quotation?
To provide the best rate, please share: Port of Loading/Discharge, pickup/delivery address, cargo name, weight, volume, Incoterms (EXW/FOB), and any special handling requirements.
Q2: How can I track my shipment from Shanghai to Auckland?
We provide regular updates at key milestones, including tracking numbers and vessel information. Our operations team communicates proactively throughout the transit.
Q3: What if I have multiple suppliers across China?
We recommend our LCL consolidation service. We collect goods from different suppliers, consolidate them at our warehouse, and issue one set of shipping documents for New Zealand customs.
Q4: What are the typical payment terms for ocean freight?
Payment is generally required on a prepaid basis before the cargo departs from China or before the cargo is released at the destination.
Q5: Do you handle New Zealand biosecurity requirements?
Yes, we provide support for fumigation and biosecurity compliance to meet New Zealand's strict import regulations, ensuring your cargo passes inspection smoothly.
Q6: What is the difference between FCL and LCL for this route?
FCL (Full Container Load) is for large shipments that fill an entire container, offering faster transit. LCL (Less than Container Load) allows you to share container space with others, making it cost-effective for smaller volumes.
