Many people who are unfamiliar with international logistics  
often think that exporting goods abroad  
is particularly complicated 
In fact, compared to domestic logistics  
international logistics transport  
simply involves more steps

Today, let’s discuss  
the operation of international cargo transport  
using Tongzhi International Logistics as an example 

When you have transportation needs,  
you should first contact our agent for a quote.  
The basic elements required for quoting are six:  
product name, packaging dimensions, weight, quantity  
shipping method, destination country address  
With complete information, the quote will be more accurate

If you are satisfied with the quote 
you can send the goods to our warehouse

Before storage, we will conduct  
unpacking verification of the goods 
checking whether they match the quoted details  
and ensuring there are no prohibited items  
to guarantee smooth subsequent shipping

For goods that pass verification  
we will measure the weight and packaging dimensions  
and label them for storage registration

The billing weight will be based on the actual weight upon arrival  
as international cargo transport  
has weight limits for different channels  
Therefore, during storage 
if a single item is overweight
we will repack it into smaller boxes  
to ensure smooth transportation  
and where possible, we will consolidate shipments  
to help save on shipping costs

For goods that have arrived at the warehouse  
we will send the weight and dimensions  
to the customer for confirmation 
If there are any discrepancies  
we will retest and take photos or videos  
to send to the customer for re-confirmation 

Once the customer confirms the data  
our finance department will issue a freight invoice  
After the customer completes the payment 
we can print the shipping label  
and arrange for shipment according to the booking date 

Loading and Shipping

Generally, within the shipping schedule  
the freight forwarding company will load the goods  
that have been paid for  
into containers according to specific rules and sequences  
and transport them to the port for shipping  

Door-to-Door Delivery

After the goods arrive at the port  
if you choose the dual-clearance service  
we will handle all backend processes, including customs clearance 
pickup, trucking, and delivery. 
Delivery usually occurs in two ways 
small items via courier
oversized items via truck  
The recipient only needs to wait for the delivery

In international logistics  
air freight is fast but expensive  
while sea freight is slower but cheaper  
We can choose the appropriate channel  
according to our needs
