At Top China Forwarder, we provide professional and cost-effective shipping services from China to the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan, Tinian, and Rota). Given the islands’ remote Pacific location and limited direct vessel calls, we specialize in coordinating reliable transshipment routes, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery. Whether by sea freight, air freight, or door-to-door service, our goal is to ensure your cargo reaches Saipan or surrounding islands safely, on time, and at competitive rates.
Most goods to Saipan and other islands arrive by ocean. We arrange both FCL and LCL shipments via transshipment hubs in Guam or other regional ports. Our team handles export paperwork, container booking, and delivery coordination to ensure smooth arrival despite limited sailing schedules.
Air cargo is the fastest option for time-sensitive goods. We secure space with trusted airlines, prepare customs-ready documentation, and manage transfers through Guam or other Pacific gateways. This service is ideal for electronics, perishables, or urgent spare parts.
Island logistics can be complicated, but our door-to-door service makes it simple. From pickup in China to customs clearance in Saipan and final delivery to your warehouse or store, we provide a one-stop solution that saves you time and eliminates stress.
FCL is best for importers with large or regular shipments. It provides exclusive use of a container, better protection for your goods, and lower unit costs. For businesses moving construction materials, furniture, or wholesale goods, FCL is the most efficient option.
LCL is ideal for smaller shipments that don’t require a full container. Your goods are consolidated with other cargo, reducing costs while maintaining professional handling. It is especially suitable for SMEs and retailers importing limited volumes to Saipan or Tinian.
We arrange pickup from any supplier in China and coordinate reliable delivery to Saipan.
Free warehousing in China to consolidate cargo and reduce your handling costs.
Comprehensive insurance coverage to safeguard your shipments across the Pacific.
Expert clearance to ensure compliance with both Chinese and Northern Mariana regulations.
On-site supervision during container loading to check packing, securing, and cargo condition.
Shipping options include sea freight, air freight, and door-to-door services. Sea freight is ideal for large shipments, providing cost-effective solutions. Air freight is faster, suitable for urgent or smaller shipments. Door-to-door services cover the entire process from pickup in China to delivery in the Northern Mariana Islands, ensuring a hassle-free experience. Choosing the right option depends on your budget, time constraints, and shipment size. Consult with your freight forwarder to select the best method for your needs.
Shipping time varies based on the method chosen. Sea freight typically takes around 20 to 30 days, depending on the route and port schedules. Air freight is faster, usually taking 5 to 10 days.
