Professional Shipping from China to Lanka: The Ultimate FAQ Guide

Shipping times from China to Sri Lanka vary depending on the method. Sea freight usually takes 15-25 days, while air freight typically takes 3-7 days. Factors such as customs clearance, carrier schedules, and weather conditions can influence the transit time. Consult your freight forwarder for precise estimates based on your specific needs.

Shipping costs depend on factors like the shipping method (sea or air), the size and weight of the shipment, and the destination. Sea freight is generally more cost-effective for larger shipments, while air freight is ideal for smaller, urgent shipments despite higher costs. Additional costs may include customs duties, taxes, insurance, and handling fees. Provide detailed shipment information to your freight forwarder for an accurate quote.

The process involves several steps:

    • Select a reliable freight forwarder.
    • Prepare and pack goods securely.
    • Arrange for pickup and transport to the departure port or airport.
    • Complete necessary documentation and handle customs clearance in China.
    • Choose the appropriate shipping method (sea or air freight).
    • Monitor the shipment during transit.
    • Handle customs clearance upon arrival in Sri Lanka.
    • Arrange for delivery to the final destination.

To arrange air freight:

  • Contact a freight forwarder for a quote.
  • Provide shipment details, including dimensions, weight, and destination.
  • Choose an airline based on time requirements and cost.
  • Prepare necessary documentation, such as commercial invoices and packing lists.
  • Arrange for pickup and delivery to the airport.
  • Track the shipment's progress to ensure timely delivery.

Arranging sea shipping involves:

  • Contacting a freight forwarder for a quote.
  • Providing shipment details, such as size, weight, and destination.
  • Choosing between FCL and LCL shipping based on needs.
  • Preparing necessary documentation.
  • Coordinating pickup and delivery to the port.
  • Handling customs clearance in China and Sri Lanka.
  • Tracking the shipment's progress until it reaches the final destination.

Use air shipping when:

  • Faster delivery times are required (typically 3-7 days).
  • The shipment is time-sensitive or perishable.
  • The shipment is small and the higher cost is justifiable. Use sea shipping when:
  • The shipment is larger and cost efficiency is a priority.
  • Delivery time is flexible (typically 15-25 days).
  • The shipment includes non-perishable goods that can endure longer transit times.

Importing goods to Sri Lanka involves paying various taxes and duties, which include:

  • Import duty: A percentage of the goods' value, varying by product type.
  • Value Added Tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax (GST): Applied to most imported goods.
  • Additional fees for customs processing and documentation. Check with Sri Lanka's customs authorities for specific rates and regulations.

Choose LCL (Less than Container Load) when:

  • Smaller shipments that do not require a full container.
  • Cost efficiency for smaller volumes is needed. Choose FCL (Full Container Load) when:
  • Larger shipments that can fill a container.
  • The entire container's security and control are needed.
  • Reducing handling and potential damage is a priority.

Track your shipment by:

  • Using the tracking number provided by your freight forwarder or carrier.
  • Logging into the freight forwarder's or carrier's website.
  • Checking for updates via email or SMS notifications.
  • Contacting customer service for real-time updates and assistance.

Required documents include:

  • Commercial Invoice: Details of the transaction and value of goods.
  • Packing List: Information about the contents, dimensions, and weight of the shipment.
  • Bill of Lading/Airway Bill: Contract between the shipper and carrier.
  • Certificate of Origin: Proof of the goods' origin.
  • Import permits/licenses: Depending on the type of goods.
  • Customs declarations: Required for both China and Sri Lanka's customs authorities.
