Ship for less with sea freight

Sea freight from/to China

China is home to some of the world’s largest ports, like Shanghai, Ningbo, and Shenzhen—making it a global hub for ocean freight. Whether you’re moving full containers, bulk cargo, or consolidated shipments, sea cargo is a cost-effective option. But high demand, port congestion, and customs delays can complicate things.

We take care of every step—shipping routes, port logistics, and freight forwarding by sea—so your goods arrive without stress. Need ocean shipping support in China? Get in touch for a free quote or advice tailored to your shipment.

For your express shipments

Air freight from/to China

China’s major airports like Shanghai Pudong and Guangzhou Baiyun are key players in global air cargo. Air transport is perfect when speed is critical—whether you’re shipping urgent stock or high-value goods. But air logistics in China often means strict inspections, limited space on cargo planes, and high costs.

We handle it all: from the transport of goods by plane to customs clearance. Starting from 100 kg or 0.5 m³, we make air shipping simple. Reach out for a free quote or personal advice for your air freight to or from China.

I contacted DocShipper to organize the import of board games from Asia to Switzerland. Despite my lack of experience in the field and the modest size of my request, my dealings with the staff were always professional and efficient. I received sound advice and the staff always took the time to answer my questions. I look forward to working with DocShipper for the import of my goods and highly recommend their services.

My name is Ad Van Den Bosh. I am a Dutch business man cross-trading in the Far East. I reached Robert Houwayek (DocShipper's representative) to clear a 40HC of greenhouse equipment from Qingdao, and deliver it to Lan Krabue in no time. He suggested that I request a Form E, which I did from the supplier, and was able to enjoy a preferential tariff treatment. DocShipper, a way to help you save both time and money!!

I recently used Docshipper to ship my appliances from Germany to Thailand, and I'm thrilled with the service I received! [...]The team was professional, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. The packaging and handling of my appliances were top-notch, and they arrived in perfect condition. I was impressed with the attention to detail and care taken to ensure a safe and successful transport. I really recommend Docshipper for it.

In the event of goods being stuck at customs, Robert [...] is a customs broker you should arguably consider to release your cargo. Once I knew that my scale modeling tools coming from Spain are being withheld at Suvarnabhumi Airport, I resorted to him to release it and handle the last mile delivery. All what he asked me is to send 2 emails to be able to do it! [...] Well guess what, within 48 hours, it was done! I got my parcel at my place in Phuket.

A vice president caught up in the thick of thin things, an EXW shipment of plumbing supplies for irrigation from Eureka California to Costa Rica is definitely not what I’d like to have on my agenda. Robert’s hang-in-there posture toward any arising challenges in shipping. [...] skillfully handled all US export formalities incl. SED/AES filing, not to mention the sea freight from Oakland POL. Everything ended up working out like a charm!

I feel they covered everything. DocShipper shipped a 20- ft Milvan overseas to Laem Chabang for a customer. The team was responsible for shipping the shipping to another country. Having very little knowledge in this area, I didn't know how to organise myself . One week after my arrival on the Asian continent. Marc O. Was available at all times and nearly instant feedback. Made a stressful event much easier and he definitely knows his job.
