CONNECTED CHINA-SIDE SUPPORT
A China sourcing and shipping agent starts with a connected brief.
Purchasing and transport decisions influence each other. Product specifications, sample approval, packaging and supplier readiness need to be considered alongside consolidation and the final destination. VG Shipping connects procurement enquiries with freight planning so you can discuss the required China-side support as one defined scope. Service availability and individual tasks are agreed before work begins.

The right support
for the next buying decision.
Begin with the gap in your current process—not a generic all-inclusive package.
| Your situation | Starting service | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| You have a product idea | China product sourcing | Reference products, specification, planned quantity and target market. |
| You need supplier evidence or quality checks | Supplier management | Supplier identity, product requirements, evidence needed and approval criteria. |
| You plan to meet suppliers at a fair | Canton Fair assistance | Product priorities, meeting objectives and the support scope to review. |
| Orders need follow-up or consolidation | Procurement fulfillment | Purchase-order status, supplier locations, ready dates, packing and final delivery point. |
Specific sourcing, supplier-management, fulfillment and fair-support tasks require an agreed scope and availability review.

08 / SOURCING & TRADE FAQ
Questions before
you start buying in China.
Find a clear starting answer, then confirm what applies to your product and buying stage.
What information do I need to request a freight quotation?
Share the product description, supplier pickup city, destination city or address, package count, packed dimensions, gross weight, cargo ready date and the delivery tasks you want included. Flag any figures that are still estimates.
Can I ask for a quote before the goods are packed?
Yes. Mark dimensions and weights as estimates and ask when the amount will be reconfirmed against final packed cargo.
Why do two freight quotations show different totals?
Compare cargo inputs, transport mode, charging unit, delivery boundary, assumptions, validity and exclusions.
Does a door-to-door price include every charge?
Only the items explicitly included in the written quotation. Confirm duties, taxes, inspections, storage and special handling separately.
Which is more suitable for my shipment: air or ocean freight?
Consider cargo size, urgency, route, acceptance requirements and the complete collection-to-delivery cost and timeline.
What is the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL uses a container for one shipper’s cargo; LCL combines compatible shipments. Compare packed volume, handling and the full service scope.
