Introduction

Our China inland logistics services ensure fast, reliable, and cost-effective transportation from factories to major ports across the country. Whether your suppliers are located in coastal areas or deep inland cities, we provide trucking, rail freight, and intermodal solutions to connect your products to the export gateway quickly and efficiently.

What is China Inland Logistics?

China inland logistics refers to the transportation and handling of goods within China before they are shipped internationally. This process is crucial for importers because most factories are not located directly next to seaports. Moving goods efficiently from manufacturing sites to ports is the first step to ensuring a smooth export process.

Types of Inland Transportation in China

Trucking Services

Our trucking services cover every province in China, ensuring direct delivery from factory to port.

Rail Freight

Rail transport is ideal for long-distance shipments and bulk cargo. China’s rail network connects major inland cities to seaports. As a result, it offers a cost-effective alternative to trucking for bulk and long-distance shipments.

River Barges

For factories located near rivers, barges can be a cost-saving method to move heavy or bulky goods to port terminals.

Intermodal Transport

We combine trucks, trains, and barges to create the most efficient transport route for your cargo.

Why Inland Logistics Matters for Importers

  • Reduced Delays: Timely delivery to ports avoids missing vessel cut-off dates.

  • Cost Optimization: Selecting the right transport mode reduces expenses.

  • Consolidation Possibilities: Gathering goods from multiple suppliers before export.

  • Better Quality Control: More time for inspections before loading.

Cost Factors for China Inland Logistics

Several factors affect the cost of domestic freight:

  • Distance from factory to port.

  • Mode of transport (truck, rail, barge).

  • Cargo weight and volume.

  • Seasonal demand (peak shipping seasons may increase rates).

  • Urgency (express trucking is available for time-sensitive shipments).

Common Challenges and How We Solve Them

1. Port Congestion

During peak export periods, ports can become congested. We reserve delivery slots in advance to prevent delays.

2. Weight Restrictions

Local road regulations limit truck weights. We plan container loads accordingly to avoid fines or unloading.

3. Road Inspections

We ensure all cargo complies with Chinese transport regulations to avoid unexpected stops.

4. Supplier Coordination

For multiple suppliers, we manage pickup schedules to ensure timely consolidation.
