Shipping from China to South Korea

Sea ​​freight

South Korea is a country located in the southern part of the Korean peninsula. It borders North Korea, its only neighbor to the north. The country is surrounded by water, with the Yellow Sea to the east, the East China Sea to the south, and the Sea of ​​Japan to the west. As indirect neighbors, China, Japan and Russia are quickly reached by sea from South Korea. This situation explains why there are only two modes of freight that reach the country, sea and air. It influenced South Korea to build one of the world's greatest fleets and state-of-the-art port infrastructure.

Shipping time

Shipping to South Korea takes a long time, usually 5 to 8 working days, and some important issues are that these times are for normal circumstances. Sometimes unexpected events happen and they make the process a little longer!

Shipping fee

In general, ocean shipping is always privileged because of two big benefits: You can transfer large quantities of goods at very competitive prices. Regardless of whether you need a one-time transshipment, or more regular multiple transshipments, ocean freight will surely meet all your needs and requirements.

Air freight

The biggest advantage of air freight is its speed. Items leaving China can arrive in Korea within 2-3 days. This is the best option for high-value items as they take less time in transit. However, with this speed, there are some tradeoffs.

Air freight is usually more expensive than rail or sea. It's also better for small items, as airlines have weight and volume restrictions. Air freight also uses more fuel than alternatives, so if carbon footprint is an ethical issue for you and your company, you'll want to choose ocean or rail freight.

Air freight is divided into two categories: general cargo and special cargo. As the name suggests, most items are considered ordinary goods.

Example of general cargo:
  • Electronic
  • Jewelry
  • Medicine
  • Personal accessories such as watches and wallets

Special cargo has different regulations than general cargo and may involve additional inspections.

Examples of special goods:
  • Fragile items
  • Dangerous goods, such as certain chemicals
  • Items that require temperature control, such as seafood

Air transit time

Door to door, a plane arrives in South Korea from any airport in China in up to 6 hours. Courier (Express) will allow you to transfer all of your shipments to the exact address in South Korea in less than 3 days. With regular air freight, from a Chinese supplier to your South Korean address, your goods will be shipped within a week.

Door to door shipping

Requesting door-to-door shipping from China to South Korea will provide you with a stress-free import experience. We'll pick up, ship, and deliver directly to your warehouse, office or home from your Chinese supplier. With TJ chinafreight, you can be sure to get the best shipping rates and prompt delivery.
Door-to-door couriers handle items of all sizes and weights. Light cargo is generally shipped fast by air, while heavy cargo is shipped by sea, and the shipping time is longer. But since they come right to your door, they are the most convenient option.

Necessary documents

  • Bill of Lading or Air Waybill (BL)
  • Packing List
  • Valid return
  • Certificate of Origin (CO)
  • Licenses, certificates... (if any)
  • Commercial invoice
  • Proof of insurance (if any)
  • Detailed Description of Duty Exemptions

Common problem

How to import duty-free from China to South Korea?

It mainly depends on the type of product you are importing. The FTA signed by China and South Korea came into effect in 2015. The vast majority of China's imports to South Korea are agricultural products, and vice versa are automobiles. The FTA mainly applies to such commodities. So, if you want to import agricultural products, you will definitely benefit from tax exemption. If you're importing other types of goods, your chances of getting an exemption are slim.

What is the cheapest way to ship from China to South Korea?

Sea freight is the cheapest way to ship from China to South Korea. However, prices often vary based on several factors. Keep in mind that FCL and LCL prices are different and which one is most economical for your situation will depend on the particularities of the particular cargo.

How to reduce shipping costs?

If you are familiar with your destination country, we invite you to consider door-to-port service. However, this is not possible for every destination. You can choose to pack your inventory yourself to reduce the cost of origin. Remember, your personal packing items must still be professionally loaded by our overseas moving company. Packing your own goods must also be professional export shipping and can only be insured for total loss.

A Russian shipyard closes due to sanctions

View of ships and cranes in the Kaliningrad river port, Russia.
View of ships and cranes in the Kaliningrad river port, Russia.

After the start of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia was subject to severe international sanctions, and the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Service claimed to have obtained an internal document of the Russian Ministry of Defense, which showed that the JSC Vostochnaya Verf shipyard in Vladivostok, in the Far East, Experiencing financial difficulties. Due to factors such as lack of raw materials, production will be completely suspended from April this year, and employees will be fired.

It is understood that the Oriental Wilf Shipyard was founded in 1952. In order to meet the needs of the former Soviet Pacific Fleet and the Far East Frontier Forces, it built small tonnage ships such as minesweepers, which played an important role in the provision of Russian shipping and military equipment. It was changed to a joint-stock company in 1994. From the 1950s to the 2000s, the shipyard built more than 400 vessels for the navy, border guards and fisheries, and exported more than 30 sets to 8 countries in the world (China, Vietnam, Cuba, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Guinea, Iraq, Yemen) military equipment.

Currently, the Vostochnaya Verf shipyard is part of Russia's United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC). Since January 2020, the shipyard has been the sole contractor for the Russian Ministry of Defense's projects in the Far East and is home to the Free Port of Vladivostok (CPV). The shipyard can build ships with a length of 120 meters, a width of 16 meters, a depth of 25 meters and a displacement of 3,500 tons.

The Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Service said that due to financial difficulties and a lack of imported components and raw materials, Russian shipyards have recently encountered difficulties in the construction and maintenance of warships. The bureau specifically pointed to the JSC Vostochnaya Verf shipyard, which it said had to execute orders worth a total of 35 billion rubles, including the construction of 2 oil tankers, 2 small missile boats, 2 mobile terminals, and various types of maintenance vessels.

Another internal document said the Russian shipbuilding system, including equipment such as navigation systems and communication systems, had to be halted due to a lack of foreign raw materials. The deadliest point is that in addition to being unable to buy goods from Europe due to sanctions, Russia is also unable to import substitutes from domestic and Asian countries. In addition, the gunpowder required for naval artillery was discontinued.

Earlier, the U.S. Treasury Department announced that the move would bar Russia's United Shipbuilding Group from entering the U.S. financial system or dealing with U.S. companies, aimed at crippling Russia's ability to build and service warships.

German Chancellor Olaf Schultz said at a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on April 8 that sanctions on Russia are effective and will profoundly affect all sectors of the Russian economy, leaving it with little competition force. "

“The shipping company notified the port jump, involving Shanghai/Ningbo/Yantian/Qingdao

Recently, a screenshot of the densely crowded ships near Shanghai waters has been circulated on the Internet. The picture said that ""hundreds of ocean-going freighters have been stranded in the outer seas of Shanghai, and the supply chain is broken here.Sea freight severely affected in Shanghai.

Cargo ships around the world in Shanghai port during the epidemic
Cargo ships around the world in Shanghai port during the epidemic

There are differences in the performance of dry bulk carriers, oil tankers and container ships. According to feedback from industry insiders, the reason for the decrease in container ships may be that shipping companies have made port-hopping adjustments to container ships, and canceled ports of call including Shanghai Port, Ningbo Port, Qingdao Port Port and Yantian Port.

Under the epidemic prevention and control in Shanghai, shipping companies responded urgently

Maersk

Yesterday, Maersk issued an announcement saying that due to the impact of epidemic prevention and control, the density of dangerous goods and refrigerated container yards at Shanghai terminals has increased. Customers are advised to ship or transfer the goods to other Chinese destination ports where possible to avoid port congestion. Goods arriving in Shanghai may be diverted to other locations.

MSC

In order to avoid port congestion and ship schedule delays, the 2M Alliance announced that the 17th week of the Jade/AE11 and Shogun/AE1 routes will cancel calls to Qingdao Port and Ningbo Port, respectively.
In addition, MSC issued an announcement on April 7 that the Shanghai port was congested and there were few or no refrigerated container plugs available. MSC will not be able to unload reefer containers at designated ports if there is no power available. Cargo may be time sensitive and delayed unloading may result in damage to the cargo. MSC said that if customers want to make a change of destination (COD), please communicate with them as soon as possible. In addition to the operating costs incurred, a COD fee will be charged.

CMA CGM

CMA CGM issued an announcement on April 8: Due to the impact of the epidemic prevention and control measures on truck transportation speed and available truck capacity, the pickup of imported goods has slowed down significantly, so the container stays for too long, resulting in a greater burden on the Shanghai Port yard. pressure. To prevent the potential occurrence of a reefer container being refused discharge due to a limited number of plugs, shippers are strongly advised to anticipate potential problems and identify options for rerouting shipments.

Hapag-Lloyd

On April 7, Hapag-Lloyd announced that Shanghai Port will not accept refrigerated containers and dangerous cargo containers. These two types of containers will be unloaded at the previous port before arriving at Shanghai Port.

ONE

ONE issued a notice a few days ago saying that the Shanghai port is still in operation, but the availability of trucking is limited, which hinders the customs clearance of imported goods. The resulting impact is that the utilization of hazardous goods and reefer yards is extremely high, especially the Yangshan and Waigaoqiao PH2. Due to operational constraints in the yard, some Dangerous Goods and Reefers (DG Classes and Reefers) may not be allowed to unload if the volume does not hold.

In this case, ONE will arrange a change of destination (COD) to unload the goods at other ports instead, or unload the goods at other transshipment ports and transport them to Shanghai if circumstances permit.

Take the star

On April 11, Yixing issued a notice of jumping to the ports of Yantian, Shanghai and Busan. Since the ship will gradually withdraw from the ZSA service, ZSA-CEZANNE9W will cancel the call at Yantian, Shanghai and Busan.

In view of the above situation, the adjustment of shipping companies' port-hopping and the launch of ""land-to-water"" by Shanghai Port Group have all diverted container ships in Shanghai Port to a certain extent. In view of the increase of dry bulk carriers and oil tankers, generally speaking, Shanghai Port is dominated by container transportation, and the above two types of ships account for a small proportion. It is not clear the exact reason for the increase of dry bulk carriers and oil tankers.

Some people in the shipping industry said that dry bulk carriers mainly transport iron ore, coal, grain, etc., and oil products are in the non-scheduled ship market. The upstream and downstream customers are relatively concentrated, and the transportation is mainly from port to port. The impact of the epidemic on the supply chain is relatively small. At the same time, dry bulk cargo mainly relies on mechanical equipment for loading and unloading, and oil products are mainly connected through pipelines."

Operation process of nitrous oxide export by sea

What is Nitrous Oxide?

Nitrous oxide belongs to category 2.2 dangerous goods
Nitrous oxide belongs to dangerous goods

Nitrous oxide (nitrous oxide) is an inorganic substance with the chemical formula N2O. Also known as nitrous oxide, a colorless and sweet gas, it is an oxidant that can support combustion under certain conditions (same as oxygen, because nitrous oxide can be decomposed into nitrogen and oxygen at high temperature), but it is stable at room temperature and has a slight Anesthetic effect, and can cause people to laugh.

Laughing gas does not currently belong to the scope of drugs in Chinese law, but it is almost equivalent to the category of drugs in China's judicial practice.

Nitrous oxide has a wide range of uses in commercial, medical and aerospace industries

Burner

The modified vehicle using the nitrogen-oxygen acceleration system sends nitrous oxide into the engine, and when heated, it is decomposed into nitrogen and oxygen, which improves the combustion rate of the engine and increases the speed. Oxygen has a combustion-supporting effect and accelerates the combustion of fuel.

Rocket oxidizer

Nitrous oxide can be used as a rocket oxidizer. This is advantageous over other oxidants because it is non-toxic, stable at room temperature, easy to store and relatively safe to fly. The second benefit is that it can be easily broken down into breathable air.

Medicine

Nitrous oxide for medical anesthesia
Nitrous oxide for medical anesthesia

Due to the poor effect of general anesthesia, it is often used in combination with halothane, methoxyflurane, ether or intravenous general anesthesia. Less used now. N2O is used for anesthesia, without irritation to the respiratory tract, and without damage to the functions of important organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. Without any biotransformation or degradation in the body, most of it is still excreted with the original drug with exhalation, and only a small amount evaporates from the skin without accumulation. It only takes 30s to 40s to inhale into the body to produce analgesia. The analgesic effect is strong and the anesthesia effect is weak. The recipient is in a awake state (instead of anesthesia), avoiding the complications of general anesthesia, and recovering quickly after surgery.

How to export nitrous oxide in China?

Nitrous oxide belongs to category 2.2 dangerous goods, so the export must be declared for export in strict accordance with the formal channel booking. Dangerous goods are generally divided into 1-9 categories, and the smaller the number, the higher the risk factor. Then one of your goods needs to provide a complete corresponding dangerous goods certificate when exporting, and your packaging must be packaged in accordance with the relevant UN number regulations, and it must be sent to the warehouse. It is delivered to the warehouse by a vehicle qualified for dangerous goods.

What documents are required when shipping nitrous oxide：

1: MSDS

It is a comprehensive regulatory document on the characteristics of chemicals provided by chemical production, trade and sales enterprises to downstream customers and the public as required by law.

2: Dangerous package certificate

The dangerous package certificate mainly includes the performance list and the use certificate. The performance list is relatively simple. Generally, manufacturers who can make regular packaging can provide it. However, the use certificate is more complicated.

3: Booking Power of Attorney

There must be detailed sending and receiving information, product name, piece hair information, etc.

4: Customs declaration information

A set of customs declaration materials includes: packing list, fp, contract, customs declaration form, proxy declaration power of attorney and declaration elements + commodity inspection

What are the ways of China’s logistics line to India?

China and India are geographically close, and the exchanges and trade between the two countries have been very good since ancient times. Their closeness is also the reason for multiple lawsuits between the two countries. In this day and age, management conflicts continue in Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin regions in North India/East China. Arguably, they prefer to cooperate rather than feel concurrent with each other. Fortunately, through the annual BRICS Forum, they are easing relations and achieving better common development.

There are four ways to export from China to India: express, sea freight , land and air freight.

Express is a good way to export to India. It has various express methods such as DHL, FEDEX, TNT, etc. We will not introduce them one by one, and there will be a detailed introduction in the future. The cost of the special line in India is generally calculated as follows: RMB/KG times the weight plus the additional cost of delivery (usually sent to remote areas). It should be noted that if the Indian special line has tariffs paid by the recipient, the recipient refuses to pay the tariff and it will be automatically changed to be paid by the sender. The tariff will be reimbursed and an additional handling fee will be charged. Make a formal declaration. The packaging requirements for express delivery are similar to our usual express delivery, but one thing to note is that for extra small express goods (such as small samples), a certain volume of wooden boxes or carton packaging (with filler pads, etc.) must be added. Afterwards, the total volume length, width and height of the entire express shipment shall not be less than 40CM, and the smallest side shall not be less than 5CM. Note: India is not allowed to import beef milk and related dairy products because cows are protected animals in India! Haochuan Logistics also has a service that provides customers with fast packaging and inspection. The advantages of express delivery are fast timeliness, wide range, many goods that can be sent, full logistics tracking and control, and low packet loss rate.

In addition to express, sea and air transportation, these two lines have many customers and complete services, most of which include double clearing services.

First of all, we need to understand what is the double-clearing line. The Indian double-clearing line generally refers to the customs declaration when the goods are sent to India, and the customs clearance when they are imported after reaching India. Among them, shipping Shuangqing is an integrated transportation route that relies on ports and runs through the sea and land, including domestic and overseas customs clearance, export, import of destination countries, tax, and door-to-door one-stop logistics services. India special line is a special transportation route developed by logistics companies according to the situation of customers transporting goods to India. It has complete services and a high degree of integration, which can reduce a lot of trouble. Among them, sea and air transportation are the most perfect. The characteristics of sea transportation are that the transportation volume is large and the cost is low, but the time required is relatively long; the characteristics of air transportation are the transportation time period, the amount of goods is larger, but the price is higher than that of sea transportation, and there are more restrictions on commodities. The domestic Shuangqing line to India generally takes about a month to arrive.

The customs process in India is one of the most onerous in the world and applies to all types of goods and countries of origin. India's tariff barriers are also quite high. But for an emerging country, it's common.

India's land transportation is the cheapest, because China is not far from India, so many people choose land transportation. The amount of land transportation is large, but the timeliness is very slow. Generally, it takes more than 15 days. Some goods that require fast aging are not suitable for travel. For land transportation, merchants can choose different transportation methods according to different needs to reduce the cost of transportation. It is worth noting that the tariffs in India are very high, and merchants should prepare psychologically in advance.

How to choose the FBA head journey

Buyers will be more inclined to products shipped by Amazon FBA, and sellers who choose FBA will increase the cost, and the cost will naturally be included in the product price. Whether logistics channels can be reasonably optimized has also become a key link in the product pricing market, affecting sales. Many sellers may have encountered a similar situation. Other sellers of the same product suddenly dropped their price, and the price was still greatly reduced. It's not the kind of activity that can go on for a long time. In this case, that's not the case. Loss in exchange for orders is likely to optimize logistics channels. Regarding FBA logistics channels, there are still many choices. You can choose according to your situation, so as to reduce the price of the product and win the price war.

1. Establish a FBA warehousing plan

If your product is already an FBA listing, all you have to do now is click Send Inventory; but if your product is still Merchant-Fulfilled (self-delivery), you need to change the product to FBA listing first; if you don't If you know if you need to change it, after selecting Send Inventory, Amazon will also prompt you to change it or not.

2. Prepare the products that will pass the FBA first journey (Prepare Products)

Every product that passes through the FBA first journey must be packaged as required, most of which can be packed in cartons, but some categories of products need to be packed in sealed plastic bags to avoid damage during transportation, or allow Dust runs in. At the same time, each product must be affixed with a UPC barcode (if it has joined the Amazon Brand Registry).

3.Review Shipment

Before this step, Amazon will provide the FBA warehouse address you should enter the warehouse, usually three, but sending to three warehouses will increase our logistics cost. If you do not want to enter so many warehouses, you can set the target warehouse.

4. Ready to send

If you choose a truck company for logistics, if you use express delivery, it is recommended to use UPS or FedEx, which is cooperated by Amazon. Amazon will provide a great logistics discount. Here you need to provide information on the contents, or you Does not provide direct sorting by Amazon (processing fee applies)

For example, if you have 10 boxes to be put into the warehouse, then you need to fill in one by one, which products are in each box, as well as the size and weight of each box, then you can calculate the payment to Amazon for this FBA head trip. cost of;

Next, you have 24 hours to cancel the first FBA trip. Amazon will automatically refund to your account. After the Amazon FBA warehouse receives the goods, you can check the relevant information on the inventory page in the background.

How to choose a reliable FBA first-way logistics?

FBA can provide express, air, sea, customs clearance, labeling, warehousing and other logistics services. At the same time, FBA can also provide different channel transportation methods such as double-clearance tax declaration by sea and double-clearance tax declaration by air. Sellers need to choose according to their own products, services and storage time.

When we choose the FBA Toucheng logistics company, we must first consider the dedicated line channel. From domestic delivery to the United States, it only takes about 13 days to arrive at the western port of the United States, which greatly shortens the sea transportation time. Generally, it can be signed and put on sale in about 18 days.

Logistics is very important for cross-border sellers. If you choose a bad FBA head-way logistics company, you may encounter the situation that the products cannot be put into the warehouse on time, the store is out of stock, or even the goods are lost. Therefore, we need a professional FBA head-way logistics company to ensure the timeliness and safety of our goods.

The above is about what Amazon's FBA first journey service is and how to choose a reliable FBA first journey logistics.

Jan Hessellund, CEO of Billund Airport, said: "We are very proud to have been selected as Maersk's European air cargo hub and we look forward to taking our collaboration to new heights."
