Railway combined transport is an economical and environmentally friendly international transportation method, suitable for transporting goods to countries and regions connected to China’s railway network. In operation, first complete your purchases on Taobao and Alibaba, and then send the goods to the collection point of the railway combined transport. After the staff at the collection point accepts the goods, they will conduct a consolidated shipping according to the destination and transportation plan, and load the goods into railway containers. The railway department will be responsible for transporting the goods to the border port. After undergoing transshipment and customs clearance procedures at the port, the foreign railway department will continue to transport the goods to the destination station. The recipient can pick up the goods at the destination station with relevant documents.

You can entrust a professional customs broker to assist with the handling. In addition, during the consolidated shipping process, take protective measures such as shockproofing and moisture – proofing for the goods to prevent damage during the bumpy railway transportation.
