Sea freight is one of the most commonly used methods for shipping from China to the Philippines. Major Chinese ports such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Ningbo are well-connected to Philippine ports, including Manila, Cebu, and Davao. The typical transit time for sea freight from China to the Philippines ranges from 5 to 7 days, depending on the departure port and specific shipping route. China Trade Freight handles all aspects of sea freight shipping, from booking and container loading to customs clearance and inland transport within the Philippines. Whether you are shipping consumer goods, machinery, or electronics, we provide efficient and secure shipping solutions to meet your business needs.
Air freight is the fastest shipping option for time-sensitive or high-value goods to the Philippines. Major Chinese airports, including Beijing Capital, Shanghai Pudong, and Guangzhou Baiyun, are connected to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila, the Philippines’ primary international airport. Air freight from China to the Philippines typically takes 2 to 4 days, making it ideal for urgent shipments. China Trade Freight provides fast, reliable air freight services, managing all aspects of the shipping process, including booking, customs clearance, and delivery. Whether you’re shipping electronics, medical supplies, or luxury goods, we ensure that your cargo arrives quickly and safely in the Philippines.
Door to door shipping provides a full-service solution, handling everything from pickup at your supplier’s location in China to final delivery at your address in the Philippines.

Our door-to-door service ensures that your goods are handled efficiently and securely from start to finish, with full tracking and visibility throughout the process.
Full Container Load (FCL) shipping is ideal for larger shipments that require a dedicated container. FCL shipments from China are typically routed through major ports like Shanghai, Ningbo, and Shenzhen, and then delivered to ports in the Philippines such as Manila or Cebu. FCL shipping offers better control over schedules and enhances security for your cargo.
China Trade Freight ensures that your FCL shipments are handled with care and delivered on time. From container booking and customs clearance to final delivery, we provide reliable and cost-effective solutions to ensure your shipments arrive in the Philippines smoothly.
Less-than-Container Load (LCL) shipping is a cost-effective option for smaller shipments that do not require a full container. LCL shipments are consolidated at the origin port, shipped to the Philippines, and then deconsolidated for final delivery. This service is ideal for businesses looking to save on shipping costs while ensuring their goods are safely transported.

You need a commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading (B/L), and a Certificate of Origin (like Form E). Special items such as electronics and machinery may need additional certifications, including FDA and CE. To avoid delays, it's advisable to have a freight forwarder assist with the documentation process.
It's recommended to purchase cargo insurance, which usually costs 0.3% - 1% of the goods' value. Freight forwarders can help you arrange this. Choosing a logistics company that has insurance partnerships will ensure that you get compensation in case of any damage to your goods.
The major ports in the Philippines are Manila, Cebu, and Davao. Among them, Manila North Port and South Port have the highest throughput and are suitable for transshipment to other islands.
