The main advantage of container shipping from China is its absolute versatility. Containers allow for the safe transportation of virtually any range of goods: from small batches as part of groupage cargoes to large-sized equipment and bulk materials.
For international freight forwarding from the PRC, various types of containers are used, which are classified by:
- capacity (standard 20- and 40-foot, as well as enlarged High Cube);
- payload capacity;
- special purpose (dry cargo, refrigerated, Open Top).
It is critically important that the specifics of the cargo match the parameters of the chosen module, ensuring reliable fixation and safety in transit. Standard modules are used for general cargo. Reinforced containers (Heavy Duty) are selected for heavy products, and specialized platforms for oversized shipments. RTU Cargo experts will help accurately calculate the volume and select the optimal equipment type. Order logistics from us to receive the goods in complete safety and exactly within the agreed timeframe.
Advantages of container shipping
Transportation in containers is the most economically viable method of importing. If the batch is small, it is included in a consolidated container (LCL), where cargoes from different customers traveling along the same route (for example, from China to Moscow) are combined. The freight cost is distributed proportionally to the volume occupied by your goods. This allows businesses to profitably deliver even small commercial batches.

Furthermore, containers are indispensable for multimodal delivery schemes, when different modes of transport are combined. For example, logistics from China to Russia is planned by rail, but picking up the cargo from the factory and “last mile” delivery from the station to the client’s warehouse are carried out by road. The main advantage of multimodality is the absence of the need to reload the goods themselves. A closed and sealed container is simply transferred from one vehicle to another, which guarantees cargo safety, saves time, and minimizes paperwork. Intermediate warehouse services are not required in this case.
Features of logistics from China with RTU Cargo
RTU Cargo organizes container freight forwarding on the most transparent and favorable terms. We develop multimodal routes, flexibly utilizing road, rail, and sea transport to offer you the optimal solution.
The choice of delivery method directly depends on your business priorities. For perishable products, expensive electronics, or trendy goods, we recommend expedited delivery. This allows you to quickly bring a new product to market and skim the cream off the top, staying ahead of competitors.
If the priority is to maximize the reduction of logistics costs (for example, when purchasing bulky batches of raw materials or consumer goods for retail chains), sea or rail freight will be the optimal choice. Transit will take more time, but it will reduce costs several times over.
We offer turnkey FEA import, which covers the entire cycle of tasks:
- consolidation at the warehouse in the PRC and professional loading into containers;
- direct transportation (FCL/LCL);
- preparation of export and import documents;
