Shipping From China To Malaysia: A Comprehensive Guide
Introduction
When engaging in cross - border e - commerce between China and Malaysia, understanding the shipping process is crucial. WanHao Freight offers a variety of shipping options to meet different business needs. This article will focus on aspects such as freight costs, transit times, Ocean LCL (Less - than - Container - Load) services including door - to - door delivery from Taobao - sourced goods, and important customs clearance considerations.
Freight Costs
Ocean Freight
Ocean FCL (Full - Container - Load): The cost of Ocean FCL mainly depends on the container size (20 - foot or 40 - foot), the origin and destination ports in China and Malaysia. For example, shipping a 20 - foot container from Shanghai to Port Klang may range from $1000 - $3000. These costs can fluctuate based on market demand, fuel prices, and shipping line surcharges.
Ocean LCL: Ocean LCL is more suitable for smaller shipments. Charges are calculated based on the volume or weight of the goods, whichever is higher. Rates can start from around $50 - $150 per cubic meter. WanHao Freight can provide accurate quotes considering the specific details of your shipment.
Airfreight is much faster but also more expensive. Rates are typically calculated by weight. Shipping from China to Malaysia, airfreight costs can range from $3 - $10 per kilogram, depending on the urgency of the shipment, the type of goods, and the airline.
International express services like DHL, FedEx, and UPS offer quick delivery. The cost varies according to the weight and dimensions of the package. For a small package weighing 1 - 2 kilograms, the cost could be around $20 - $50. However, for larger or heavier items, the cost can increase significantly.
Transit Times
Ocean Freight
Ocean FCL: Transit times for Ocean FCL from major Chinese seaports such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, or Ningbo to Malaysian ports like Port Klang usually take 7 - 15 days. But this can be affected by factors such as port congestion, weather conditions, and the shipping route.
Ocean LCL: Ocean LCL generally has a longer transit time, usually around 10 - 20 days. This is because the goods need to be consolidated with other shipments in a container at the origin port and de - consolidated at the destination port.
Airfreight
Airfreight can deliver goods from China to Malaysia within 1 - 3 days, making it an ideal choice for time - sensitive items.
International express services usually guarantee delivery within 3 - 5 days, providing a fast and reliable option for small and urgent shipments.
