Sea freight
Sea freight, or ocean freight, is the main shipping method for global export & import business, especially concerning tonnage, as it manages approximately 80% of worldwide trade. Consequently, maritime shipping is central to globalization, with containerized shipping leading the way.
The global maritime transport network consists of several key gateways providing entry to significant production and consumption areas. Interconnecting these gateways are major hubs that serve as vital points for transshipment and connection between various maritime circulation systems.
When it comes to shipping from China, CFC has been proud in this freight forwarding industry for more than 20 years, and is good at providing ocean cargo services for small and medium companies as well as individuals all over the world.

Trade Terms – EXW/FOB/CIF/DAP
These are four common terms of trade (aka incoterms) when buying from China. A product price is always quoted according to an Incoterm.
Basically how much of the shipping you pay the supplier to handle. Based on the incoterm you select, you can let the supplier handle the goods transportation to
When you compare prices from several suppliers, make sure they are based on the same term. For example, A-seller quoted EXW $5/unit while B-seller quoted FOB $5.5/unit, it doesn’t mean the price from B-seller is not more competitive than A-seller.
* Most suppliers will quote EXW or FOB price at the beginning, and are flexible in providing different price based on different term upon your request.

- no further place but the factory/manufacturer, which is EXW
- a nearby port in China, which is FOB
- a nearby port in your country, which is CIF (including maritime insurance)
- all the way to your facility, which is DAP/DDU (not including tariff and taxes)
- EXW and FOB means you – the buyer can use your own freight agent and pay for their services directly.
- Other term means the seller use their freight agent and you still pay for that.

Air freight
Air Freight, also known as Air Cargo, Air Shipping or Air Transport is a logistics method that uses airplanes (passenger or cargo plane) as a means of goods transportation. Air cargo represents rough 35% of global trade by value, but less than 1% by volume.
Driven by rapid growth in e-commerce and restrictions on ocean shipping, air cargo demand remains strong. At CFC, we want to be your one-stop source for your supply chain solutions. We do this by working in virtually every aspect of the logistics management, including shipping via air for e-commerce businesses.

Air Supply Chain Elements
Several factors come together to shape the configuration of a supply chain:
Several factors come together to shape the configuration of a supply chain:
- Logistics costs. Consider the full cost of getting the product to the end consumer, i.e. transportation, warehousing and transshipment. The concept of cost is relative as its significance relates to the value of the goods being carried. Cost considerations tend to focus more on low-value containerized cargo, such as commodities (e.g., paper), rather than high-value cargo (e.g., electronics).
- Transportation time. It is increasingly being considered as it strongly affects inventory holding costs and inventory cycle times in supply chain management. Therefore, for higher value or perishable shipments, the fastest and/or shortest route option will be preferred.
- Reliability. For many supply chains, time may be a secondary factor as long as the goods arrive at the distribution center within the expected time frame. If shipments are regular and this reliability remains consistent, the supply chain can be organized accordingly by increasing in-transit inventory.
- Supply chain risks. Relates to generally imponderable factors involving the level of confidence that the shipment will reach its final destination within expected cost, time and reliability considerations. In some cases, the risk may also involve potential damage or theft of the goods. Low-risk routes are clearly better than high-risk routes.
Railway freight
As two modes of land transportation: railway and road, railway can transport long distances, and the transportation cost will also decrease with the increase of distance and load.
Rail transit is a product of the industrial age and plays an important role in the economic development of Western Europe, North America, Japan and China. It represents a major advancement in land transportation technology.
It is not only able to carry heavy loads, but also has higher universality and speed. Rail transport offers the possibility of reliable and consistent timetables that can be included in the planning of economic activities such as production and distribution.

The Asian-Europe Railway
The idea to link the Far East and Europe by rail took its origin with the construction of the Trans Siberian railway linking Moscow to Vladivostok, completed in 1916. With a length of 9,200 km, it is the longest rail segment in the world.
The beginning of the 21st century has brought renewed interest in a long-distance rail connection between Asia and Europe, especially with the booming Asian trade and the increasing pressure to ship containerized freight in a time-sensitive manner over long distances.
These connections came to be known as the Trans Asian Railway, the Northern East-West Corridor, the Eurasian Landbridge, the New Silk Road, OBOR (One Belt One Road; a term used between 2014 and 2017 ) or the BRI (Belt and Road Initiative; a term used since 2017).
The Belt and Road Initiative underlines the importance of China in shaping the development of these infrastructure and trade corridors.
The main route uses the Trans-Siberian Railway either branching to Vladivostok with connections to Eastern China, branching to Kazakhstan, entering western China at Khorgos and Druzhba and then through the Lanzhou rail hub and onward to the coast of China or branching into Mongolia to enter China at Erenhot and then to the main Beijing hub.
