Methods for shipping from China to Singapore

When shipping goods from China to Singapore, there are 2 main methods that sellers can use — air freight and sea freight.

1. Air freight

Air freight refers to the shipment of goods via a plane. Goods are loaded onto a plane till the maximum weight load is reached before it sets off to its destination. This mode of transport is faster than sea freight and is usually more expensive.

2. Sea freight

Sea freight refers to the shipment of goods via a cargo ship. Goods are packed into containers and loaded onto a shipping vessel before sailing to its destination. This takes longer than air freight but is typically more cost-efficient.

a. FCL

Full container load (FCL) is when you have enough cargo to fill an entire shipping container. In such cases, it is more cost-effective to ship via FCL as you will be paying a flat rate for the entire container, instead of paying per cubic meter (CBM) occupied.

b. LCL

On the other hand, if your cargo is not enough to fill a full container, you can opt for less than container load (LCL) instead. This means that your goods will be combined with others to fill a container. With LCL, you only pay for the space that your goods occupy.

Choosing between air and sea freight from China to Singapore

With 2 methods available, it is important to understand the differences between them to choose the right shipping option for your cargo. Here are some key differentiating factors.

Speed

Air freight can ship goods a lot faster as compared to sea freight. Shipping from China to Singapore via air takes about 5 to 14 days, while sea freight takes about 6 to 31 days.

Thus, if you have any urgent deliveries or perishable goods, air freight is the way to go. To maximize savings for larger volumes of cargo that are not time-sensitive, go for sea freight.

Shipping cost

Globally, approximately 80% of goods are transported by ships. Sellers that ship in bulk or large quantities that can fill an entire container will get to enjoy economies of scale. In fact, any cargo above 2 CBM is likely to be more cost-effective being shipped via sea than air.

If you are looking to ship small quantities of samples or small order batches, air freight can be more economical.

Cargo restrictions

Air freight has strict regulations regarding the types, sizes and weights of items that can be shipped. Bulky, odd-sized or dangerous goods typically cannot be shipped via air. Some examples include:

Liquids (e.g., nail polish, colognes, perfumes, nail polish remover)
Aerosols or gas (e.g., deodorant, hairspray, paint)
Toxic or corrosive items (e.g., batteries, phones, cameras)
Food

On the other hand, sea freight does not have such restrictions on cargo. If your goods fall into the list of prohibited items, opt for sea freight.

Sea freight from China to Singapore: FCL and LCL shipping

You can transport your goods by both FCL and LCL shipping.

There are many factors you need to consider when shipping from China to Singapore.

A standard 40 foot container can accommodate 22 standard pallets, with a 20 foot container holding 10 pallets.

If you’re shipping large volumes and can fill a container, it makes sense to choose FCL (Full Container Load).

The other advantage of Full container load is that your items are kept separate from other importers.

On the other hand, LCL (Less than a Container Load) refers to shipping where your goods share space within a container with other goods.

If you’re OK with that, then LCL shipping (also known as groupage) offers a more economical way to ship smaller quantities that make up less than half of the volume of a full container.

Shipping From China to Singapore

Door to Door Shipping from China to Singapore

Door to Door service is an all-inclusive shipping solution that helps deliver goods directly from the seller’s location in China to the buyer’s designated address in Singapore. This service eliminates the need for the importer to handle various logistics processes, making it an attractive option for businesses seeking a hassle-free shipping experience.

Door to Door service can include several shipping methods, including:

DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid): In this case, the seller is responsible for all costs of shipping to the destination, excluding duties and taxes. The buyer is then responsible for customs clearance and paying any applicable import taxes upon arrival.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): Under DDP, the seller bears all costs involved in shipping the goods, including duties and taxes. This means that the buyer does not need to manage any customs clearance processes to receive the goods, providing a fully managed logistics solution.

Door to Door Shipping from China to Singapore Process:

Pickup: Collect the goods from the supplier or manufacturer in China.
Transportation: Coordinate inland transportation within China, and then coordinate international transportation (air or sea freight) to Singapore.
Customs Clearance: Handle all necessary customs documents and formalities in China and Singapore.
Delivery: Delivering goods from Singapore port or airport to the consignee’s address.
