Shipping goods from China to the Philippines involves several steps. First, choose a reliable freight forwarder and decide on the shipping method (air, sea, or express). Next, the goods are picked up from the supplier and transported to the departure port or airport. The freight forwarder handles all necessary documentation and customs clearance. Once the cargo arrives in the Philippines, it goes through customs inspection and clearance. Finally, the goods are delivered to the specified address. Coordination with the freight forwarder ensures a smooth process.

Choose LCL (Less than Container Load) if your shipment is small and doesn't require a full container, as it allows cost-sharing with other shippers. LCL is economical for smaller volumes but may take longer due to consolidation and deconsolidation processes. Opt for FCL (Full Container Load) when shipping larger volumes that can fill a container or if you require faster transit times and more control over the shipment. Evaluate your cargo volume, budget, and delivery requirements to decide the best option.

Tracking your shipment involves using the tracking tools provided by the freight forwarder or carrier. Once your shipment is booked, you will receive a tracking number or reference code. Enter this code on the forwarder's or carrier's website to monitor the shipment's progress in real-time. You can see updates on the shipment's location, estimated arrival time, and any delays. Staying in touch with your freight forwarder for regular updates also helps in tracking the shipment effectively.
