Factory pickup
We collect from your supplier or suppliers in China and prepare the cargo for export.
Freight forwarding · China to the world
Freight that just arrives.
Door-to-door freight forwarding for brands importing from China. We collect from your factory, move your cargo by sea or air, clear customs and deliver to your warehouse, with a clear quote and one team to talk to.
Why freight feels hard
Freight shouldn't be a guessing game.
Most importers run into the same four problems. We built our service to take each one off your plate.
Paying for empty space
Container space booked but not used, and costs that do not match your actual cargo.
Surprise fees
A low headline rate followed by a string of extra charges at the end.
No visibility
Cargo goes quiet for weeks and you are left chasing for updates.
Customs surprises
Duties and clearance costs that only appear once the goods have landed.

FAQ
Good questions.
What does freight forwarding include?
Pickup from your factory, international freight by sea or air, customs clearance support, duties and taxes, and delivery to your warehouse, with tracking and updates along the way.
Can you combine shipments from several factories?
Yes. We can consolidate cargo from multiple suppliers into one shipment, so you are not paying to move many small loads.
Who handles customs?
We manage the customs process with you, including the paperwork, so there are fewer surprises when your goods arrive. We will confirm duties and taxes with you in your quote.
Can you deliver to my 3PL or warehouse?
Yes. Deliver to your own warehouse or 3PL, or straight into a Compass 3PL hub.
How long will it take and what will it cost?
It depends on the route, mode and cargo. Send us the details and we will confirm transit times, minimums and costs in a written quote.
Can you ship any type of goods?
Tell us what you are shipping. Some goods have special rules, and we will confirm what is possible before you commit.
