Shipping large or valuable items from China: what to check first

Not every import travels like a carton of clothes. Large, heavy or valuable items, such as machinery, equipment, vehicles or solar systems, need a few extra checks. Ask us before you pay your supplier.

Five things to check

  1. Size and weight. Get the exact dimensions and weight per piece. Very dense cargo can be billed by weight instead of volume.
  2. Packing. Heavy or fragile items often need crating or reinforced packing. Ask your supplier what they will use.
  3. Permits and rules. Some goods, including vehicles, batteries and certain electrical or telecom equipment, are regulated in the Philippines. Confirm what applies before you order.
  4. Documents. Make sure the invoice describes the item specifically, with model, material and use, and that the value matches what you paid.
  5. Delivery access. Tell us the delivery address type and any limits, such as narrow roads, stairs or a loading dock, so we can plan the right truck.
