The Pearl River Delta is home to thousands of makers of furniture (Foshan, Shunde), clothing, leather goods, cosmetics and lighting. After the Canton Fair, orders pour in: that is the time to arrange transport in advance.
Nansha port and the Huangpu terminal handle sea freight, and Baiyun international airport (CAN) air freight. China–Europe trains also depart from Dalang. Our Shenzhen warehouse is less than two hours away for consolidation.
Typical products
- Furniture and bedding (Foshan)

Our advice
- Furniture is bulky: a 40ft HC is often cheaper than groupage from 15 m³.
- Ask for reinforced packaging and corner protection: breakage is the main risk with furniture.
- After the Canton Fair (April and October), book your transport as soon as you order.
