Transportation and Freight Forwarding Services China freight services

KMC-Services sp. z o.o.

China freight is one of the key directions in international trade – both for companies importing goods to Poland and for exporters looking for an efficient distribution channel to the Far East. At KMC Services, we handle both import and export shipments from the Far East in FCL and LCL modes, offering port‑to‑port and door‑to‑door transport solutions.

We treat every shipment from China as a logistics project, not just a single transaction. Port selection, carrier choice, FCL/LCL option, documentation handling and customs clearance are all parts of one integrated process that we manage from the first enquiry through to final delivery of the cargo to the indicated address.

Import from China and export to China – scope of services

China is our key trade lane in ocean freight. We operate regular liner services from major Chinese ports such as Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, Dalian, Shenzhen, Tianjin/Xingang and other ports listed below.

As part of our China freight services we provide:

Import from China – delivery of goods to Poland and across Europe (FCL, LCL, full door‑to‑door service).
Export to China – shipment of goods from Poland and other European countries to recipients across China.
Port‑to‑port and door‑to‑door services on all major routes.
Full container load (FCL) and less‑than‑container load (LCL) services.
Pre‑carriage and on‑carriage – pickup and delivery within Poland and across Europe.

Sea freight from China – FCL and LCL

We select the appropriate transport option from the Far East based on the weight, volume and shipment schedule. We handle imports from China both for cargo filling an entire container and for smaller consignments shipped as LCL (less‑than‑container‑load) ocean freight.

FCL – full container load

FCL transport from the Far East means a dedicated container for a single customer. It is the optimal solution for larger volumes, providing full control over the cargo, shorter transit times and a direct sailing schedule. Available container types for imports from the Far East: 20 DC, 40 DC, 40 HC, reefer (temperature‑controlled cargo), open‑top and flat‑rack containers.

LCL – less‑than‑container load

LCL shipping from China means consolidating your cargo with other shipments in a single container. You only pay for the space you use—without waiting for a full container to be loaded. We arrange LCL consolidation and deconsolidation through trusted co‑loaders on every route.

Shipping from China – ports and routes

Shipments from the Far East pass through the region’s major container ports. We operate regular liner services from all key Chinese container ports—both in the south and in the north of the country.

Ports in China from which we handle shipping from China:

Southern China: Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Foshan, Jiangmen, Shunde.
East coast: Shanghai, Ningbo.
Southeast coast: Xiamen, Fuzhou.
Northern China: Qingdao, Tianjin/Xingang, Dalian.

Transportation from Shanghai is one of our most frequently handled routes—both for imports and exports. We manage imports from Shanghai on a regular basis, including LCL shipments. Shipments from China via the port of Ningbo are carried out on regular liner services, providing customers with predictable transit times and competitive freight rates.

Door‑to‑door imports from China – one partner for the entire supply chain

Door‑to‑door imports from China mean managing the entire transport chain under one roof. From picking up the goods from the supplier in China, through customs clearance, loading onto the vessel and ocean freight, to customs clearance at the destination port and final delivery to the customer’s warehouse or facility.

One point of contact, one point of responsibility, one place to report issues. Throughout the order fulfillment process we track shipments and provide real‑time status updates.

Additional services for transportation from China

Shipping from China is about more than just ocean freight.

As part of our China freight services we also provide:

Comprehensive freight forwarding services – organising transport from the very first enquiry.
Handling of transport documentation and organisation of customs clearance for both imports and exports.
Cargo insurance tailored to the value and nature of the goods being transported.
Consulting on the optimal choice of route and carrier.
Shipment tracking and real‑time status reporting.

Exports to China – shipping from Poland and Europe

Exporting to China involves organising transport with pickup from the shipper in Poland or elsewhere in Europe, handling export documentation, loading onto the vessel, delivery to a port in China and—if the customer wishes—final door‑to‑door delivery to the recipient in China.

We handle exports to the Far East using both FCL and LCL options, selecting the appropriate solution based on the weight, volume and schedule of the shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does shipping from China to Poland take?

Transit time for imports from China depends on the port of departure, the destination port, the shipping line and the mode of transport (FCL vs. LCL). We confirm the exact transit time individually for each enquiry after analysing the route and the sailing schedule.

Do you handle shipments from Shanghai and Ningbo?

Yes, we handle shipments from Shanghai and the port of Ningbo as part of our regular liner services. We manage imports from Shanghai on a regular basis.

What is the difference between FCL and LCL shipping?

FCL is a full container dedicated to a single customer—the optimal solution for larger volumes. LCL is less‑than‑container‑load consolidated with other shipments—you only pay for the space you occupy in the container. We select the appropriate option based on the weight, volume and schedule of your shipment.

Do you offer cargo insurance for shipments from China?

Yes, we offer cargo insurance tailored to the nature and value of the goods being transported—for both FCL and LCL shipments.
