IMPORT PLANNING GUIDES
Practical guidance for your shipment.
Review delivery responsibilities, shipment documents and freight calculations before booking.
IMPORT GUIDE · DELIVERY RESPONSIBILITIES
DDP vs DAP: responsibilities, costs and records
Compare who handles import clearance and pays duties and taxes under DDP and DAP. Then check the importer, documentation and named delivery point in your actual proposal.
Read the guideIMPORT GUIDE · THE SHIPMENT FILE
Documents for China to South Africa shipping
Prepare the purchase, packing and import records your shipment needs. This guide explains who provides each document and how supplier orders stay linked to final cartons.
Read the guideIMPORT GUIDE · WEIGHT AND VOLUME
Chargeable weight and volumetric calculations
Understand how gross weight, carton size and the service’s calculation rules affect your quotation. Use the worked examples to check the charging basis before approving freight.
Read the guideCan I send product links or bring my own supplier?
Both are useful starting points. Links need the intended version, specifications and quantities; existing suppliers need order references. The purchase proposal defines whether the work is buying assistance, supplier coordination or consolidation of goods you have already ordered.
Can I request consolidation without buying assistance?
Describe the orders you already have, supplier locations and expected arrivals. Receiving, checks, packing and transport can be scoped around the stages you need. Obtain the receiving instructions before suppliers dispatch goods.
Why might the freight estimate change after receiving?
Final packing can differ from supplier estimates. Carton count, weight and dimensions may change after repacking. The quote should state the dimensional divisor, rounding, per-carton or shipment-level calculation, minimum charge and approval process for changes.
What changes between DDP and DAP?
Under DDP the seller takes responsibility for import clearance and applicable duties and taxes; under DAP those import responsibilities sit with the buyer. The logistics proposal also needs to identify the importer, payment arrangement and precise handover point.
