- 3. Export. Goods move to a Chinese port or airport and clear export customs.
- 4. Transit. Sea freight arrives at Laem Chabang; air freight lands at your nearest international airport.
- 5. Import and delivery. Customs clearance in Thailand, then delivery to your address, by your broker or by us under DAP or DDP terms.
Which shipping terms to choose
- FOB: you have a freight forwarder and want control of the ocean freight.
- CIF: you want one price that lands the goods at your port.
- DAP: delivered to your address, and you handle customs.
