Shipping, Packing, and Paperwork
20 or 40 ft container. Otherwise we ship by 20 or 40ft. container. email to: sales@antiquesbeijing.com for a quote to your destination. We leave from the ports of TianJin. Shipments by sea normally take 3-4 weeks to arrive after order is completed. Total charges in China per 20ft. container for all fumigation, shipping, insurance, paperwork, processing etc. is 700usd. 40ft/800usd/container. See partial shipments for charges on small shipments. Postage Shipment. We accept the postage way by EMS(China Postal), UPS, DHL or FedEX. Any International Corners can be reachable by any of the above carrier way. Each
shipment includes an id number on each individual piece of furniture, a corresponding
excel write-up of each piece including age, wood, characteristics, etc., a jpeg
of the piece and all the shipping paperwork including packing list and invoice,
certificates of origin, fumigation certificates, and bills of lading etc. (for
Europe we supply 'authenticity' certificates). All pieces are wrapped and marked
with id. no. on the outside. For partial shipments wood crates are necessary for
shipping, After goods are sent we express mail all pertinent documents to shipping address given by buyer. Shipping is either to a main port or city. (Sometimes we can arrange delivery to a private address). If you haven't imported before we suggest you check in the Yellow Pages for 'Custom House Brokers' to do your import paper work (prices vary so shop around), and 'Freight Forwarders' to help with any other shipping needs you may have. Often a good Custom House Broker can arrange follow up shipping if it is needed. Like many things, the paperwork and shipping is quite simple "once" you've done it. For a custom house broker shop around. Quite similar to booking a plane ticket. Charges for the same work range from 80usd/shipment to 300usd/shipment. Make sure you like your broker and that they don't charge more then 150usd/shipment. We
have our own shipping agent, could provide competitive shipping prices and timely
shipping time to main ports or cities worldwide.
