Business-to-Consumer (B2C)

This refers to transactions conducted directly between a company and consumers who are the end-users of its products. Specifically, Chinese shoppers buy from an overseas online retailer who will pack individual orders before consolidating them for shipping to China. Our company can handle imports via port-of-entries at Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

1.Via Hong Kong

Merchant packs individual orders and consolidates them as a single freight to our Hong Kong Warehouse (or request us to collect at the airport/port). We will then transfer from our Hong Kong Warehouse to mainland China. After clearance at the Chinese Customs, the individual orders will be delivered directly to the end-users.

2. Via Guangzhou or Shenzhen

Merchant packs individual orders and consolidates them as a single freight to an airport/port in Guangzhou or Shenzhen. It stays at the Customs Control Area awaiting for clearance. Merchant submits information to the Customs via electronic filing. After clearance, the designated domestic express courier will deliver the individual orders directly to the end-users.

Suitable For:

  • China-registered enterprises selling foreign products online.
  • Foreign-registered enterprises may import into China via Hong Kong.
  • Shopping agents.
  • High-value goods (e.g. semi-luxury goods, cosmetics, etc.).

Advantages:

  • Need not stock-up in China and therefore reducing operational or financial risks.
  • Convenient one-stop declaration and clearance process.
  • Advertise as "Ship from Overseas".
