Who this helps
Use this route when the shipment needs control before booking.
Most China shipments go wrong before the carrier is selected. Supplier timing, package data, cargo restrictions, warehouse receiving, and delivery scope should be checked first.

Quote preparation
What JTL checks before a route is recommended
Send final package details where possible. If the supplier has not packed the goods yet, JTL can still screen the route and confirm what must be measured later.
Quote inputs
- Supplier city, pickup address, and cargo ready date
- Carton count, actual weight, and packed dimensions
- Destination country, address type, and delivery deadline
- Cargo type, invoice value, and any battery, liquid, powder, magnet, or brand restrictions
Operational checks
- Supplier pickup timing and warehouse receiving records
- Package condition, label visibility, and consolidation plan
- Actual weight compared with volumetric or chargeable weight
- Route restrictions, customs paperwork, and final-mile handoff risk
Mistakes to avoid
- Comparing only the first carrier price instead of the full delivered scope
- Quoting before final packed carton dimensions are confirmed
- Ignoring restricted-goods rules before choosing a route
- Shipping each supplier parcel separately when consolidation would be safer or cheaper
Route notes
Practical routing guidance
Express can work for small urgent parcels and samples.
Air freight can work for time-sensitive cartons when chargeable weight is acceptable.
Sea freight is usually better for larger or heavier B2B cargo.
