TRADE Q&A
Rail Freight Q&A
Our company is a small and medium-sized enterprise just starting to engage in foreign trade. Recently, we need to export a batch of mechanical parts to Europe, and we have inquired about quotes from several freight forwarders. However, the quotes we received list a wide variety of fees, including THC, VGM, document fees, handling fees, and so on, with significant price differences. We would like to ask: What fees should be included in a regular freight forwarder's export quotation? Which fees are reasonable, and which might be additional charges added by the forwarder? How can we avoid being cheated on fees?
Our company is just starting to engage in import business and needs to find a freight forwarder, but we’ve noticed that there are many options on the market, ranging from international giants to local small companies, with vastly differing quotes. We’d like to ask: How can we determine whether a freight forwarder is reliable? What are the most critical factors to consider when making a selection? Are there any industry-specific unspoken rules we should be aware of?
We're a factory that just started doing foreign trade, and we're about to export our first batch of goods to Europe. We've searched online and found dozens of freight forwarding companies, but the quotes vary enormously—some are ridiculously cheap, while others are shockingly expensive. Could you please advise us on how to select a reliable export freight forwarding company? We're most concerned about encountering unprofessional ones that might cause delays in shipments, get our goods seized by customs, or hide a bunch of hidden fees.
Our company has just started providing air freight export forwarding services, and we would like to ask about the key issues that need attention in this field. Specifically, what are the areas where it's easy to encounter pitfalls?
We are a traditional logistics company looking to expand into export freight forwarding business. What specific hard and soft conditions do we need to meet? For example, what are the specific requirements regarding qualifications, capital, personnel, systems, etc.?
23 Years on the Silk Road
Experts in Eurasia Railway Freight
“Our factory is in Xi'an. Sea freight used to require draying containers to the port, which was time-consuming. Zhongshen's Railway Express solution enabled 'doorstep' shipping with incredibly fast customs clearance. Their 23-year background makes them highly professional in handling rail waybills and LC settlements.”
“For automotive parts, the railway is the perfect middle-ground solution. Zhongshen is very familiar with operations at Duisburg and Hamburg stations. It saved us 20 days compared to sea freight and aligns with our company’s carbon reduction requirements.”
“Zhongshen’s customs clearance and last-mile delivery services in Małaszewicze are outstanding. Even during peak congestion at the borders, their ability to coordinate railway resources ensures our containers are prioritized. This 'problem-solving' capability is impressive.”
“Zhongshen’s precise control over the transshipment process at Alashankou and Khorgos is reassuring. Whether it's FCL or LCL, their protection of cargo rights and documentation handling demonstrates the depth of a 23-year-old veteran enterprise.”
“We use the southern rail route to enter the CEE market, and Zhongshen provided detailed compliance assessments. Their one-stop railway service solved the 'last mile' transfer headache. Their 23 years of experience is a major advantage in navigating changing policies.”
“The transit time to Moscow has always been stable. Zhongshen possesses strong operational capabilities at Manzhouli and Erlianhot ports. Years of zero-error cooperation prove their deep industry roots, which is what we value most.”
