06public
Arrival
You receive the shipping documents for import clearance. Customs clearance, duties and registration at destination are handled by you or your broker.
Prices and Incoterms
FOB
Free On Board: price up to loading at the Chinese port named in your quote. You arrange ocean freight and insurance, or ask us to quote it.
CIF
Cost, Insurance and Freight to your destination port. We book the shipping and cargo insurance as stated in the quote.
USD
Website prices are reference prices in US dollars, subject to real-time availability and final confirmation. Other Incoterms can be discussed.
Shipping options
RoRo
Roll-on/roll-off vessels: vehicles are driven on board. Common for larger quantities and routes with regular RoRo service.
Container
Vehicles are loaded and secured in shipping containers. Often used for small quantities or where RoRo is not available.
The port of loading, route and estimated timeline depend on your destination and vessel schedules. We confirm them in your quote rather than publishing fixed lead times.
