Sea freight is a popular and cost-effective option for shipping goods from China to Sri Lanka. Major Chinese ports such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Ningbo have direct shipping routes to Sri Lanka’s main port, the Port of Colombo. Sea freight typically takes around 10 to 12 days, depending on the port of departure and shipping route. China Trade Freight ensures that your sea freight shipments are handled efficiently, from booking and loading to customs clearance and final delivery in Sri Lanka. We offer reliable, secure shipping services for all types of cargo, including consumer goods, electronics, and machinery.
Air freight is the fastest option for shipping time-sensitive or high-value goods from China to Sri Lanka. With major Chinese airports such as Beijing Capital, Shanghai Pudong, and Guangzhou Baiyun offering direct flights to Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo, air freight typically takes 3 to 5 days. China Trade Freight provides reliable air freight services, managing everything from booking and customs clearance to final delivery in Sri Lanka. Whether you're shipping electronics, medical supplies, or luxury items, we ensure fast and secure delivery.
Door to door shipping is the most convenient solution for businesses looking to ship goods from China to Sri Lanka. This service covers every step of the shipping process, from pickup at your supplier’s location in China to final delivery at your address in Sri Lanka. It includes both sea and air freight, depending on your shipment’s size and urgency. With China Trade Freight, you can enjoy a hassle-free experience. We take care of every aspect of your shipment, including transportation, customs clearance, and delivery, ensuring that your goods arrive securely and on time.
Full Container Load (FCL) shipping is ideal for large shipments that require a dedicated container. FCL shipments are typically routed through key Chinese ports such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, or Ningbo, and delivered directly to the Port of Colombo. FCL shipping offers better security, higher control over schedules, and is perfect for high-volume shipments.
China Trade Freight manages every aspect of FCL shipping, from container booking and loading to customs clearance and final delivery in Sri Lanka. We ensure that your goods are transported securely and efficiently, within your required timeframe.
Less-than-Container Load (LCL) shipping is a cost-effective solution for smaller shipments that don’t require a full container. LCL shipments are consolidated at Chinese ports, shipped to Sri Lanka, and then deconsolidated at the Port of Colombo for final delivery. This option is ideal for businesses with smaller cargo volumes looking to reduce shipping costs.
China Trade Freight provides secure and reliable LCL shipping, handling the entire process from consolidation and customs clearance to final delivery in Sri Lanka. We ensure that your goods are safely transported while keeping your shipping costs low.
