Dalian

Dalian is a load port. It is not the start for every shipment in China.

Yihang Shipping is based in Dalian. Cargo from the northeast, and from mills near Yingkou, loads at Dalian or Yingkou and usually feeds a mainline port before the ocean vessel. The cutoff is earlier than the same box leaving Shanghai, Ningbo, or Shenzhen. A factory in Shenzhen uses Yantian or Shekou. Do not truck that cargo to Dalian because the office is there. The quote needs the factory city, the destination port, the commodity, the gross weight, and whether the ready date is at the factory or at the port. China export clearance runs on Yihang’s AEO Advanced file. Yihang is not the importer at destination. This page does not publish a rate or a fixed number of days.

Cargo that belongs on a Dalian loading

  • General cargo from a factory in Dalian or the northeast, including one full container
  • Coil, plate, and pipe from mills around Yingkou or Anshan. Lashing is on the steel page
  • Wood products and palletized cargo from the northeast. The pallet still needs an ISPM 15 mark
  • Exhibition cargo starting in Dalian. Count the feeder before the sailing, then count back from the hall

What not to do

  • Do not haul a South China or East China factory to Dalian only because the forwarder sits there
  • Do not copy a Shanghai or Shenzhen transit onto a Dalian shipment. The feeder is a separate leg
  • Do not look for a published rate here. One 40-foot box from Shenzhen and the same box via Dalian are not the same number

Questions shippers ask

Can you ship from Dalian to Brazil?

Yes. Dalian feeds a mainline port first, so the cargo has to be ready earlier than the same container leaving Shenzhen. Santos is the usual Brazilian port. Paranaguá or Navegantes when the door is in the south. The Portuguese page is written for the Brazilian importer.

Does FOB Dalian include the truck?

FOB is the ocean freight from the port of Dalian. The truck from the factory to the port is a separate line. Say which one you want.

Do you load at Yingkou?

Yes. Yingkou and Dalian are both north China load ports, and both usually need a feeder. The quote starts from the city where the mill or factory actually is.
