In 2020, the total value of goods that India imported from China was close to $67 billion (USD). That sum placed India as China’s ninth-largest export partner. While Himalayan border tensions between the two countries have impacted bilateral trade, the Indian economy still depends heavily on Chinese imports.

Perhaps your business brings electronics or other items onto the Indian subcontinent from China, and could benefit from more efficient cross-border logistics. On the other hand, maybe you are a first-time importer looking for guidance relating to China-India shipping.

Whatever your potential shipping scenario, if it’s likely to involve ocean and air shipping from China to India, you’ll find plenty of information on this page. Our hints and tips will help you pick the most appropriate method and mode of shipping, and assess transit times and prices for your freight.

What Are Your Options for Shipping Freight From China to India?

While the two countries share a land border, their vastness dictates that most businesses use ocean or air freight to import from China to India. Of these two methods, the use of ocean carriers typically proves the most economical. Air freight is often reserved for urgent shipments or shippers of high-value, delicate, or perishable goods.

Which would be your shipping mode of choice? Besides cost considerations, you'll find more details in the following sections to help you decide between sending a container from China to India by sea and using faster air-freight shipping.

Ocean Freight From China to India

Less than Container Load (LCL): If you prefer to use ocean freight to export from China to India, you don’t necessarily have to rent a container. Less-than-container-load (LCL) shipping is a lower-cost option if you typically export smaller consignments of goods.

Instead of renting a container, you can work with an LCL freight forwarder to have your merchandise consolidated with other shippers' goods. They can then be sent by carrier in a shared shipping container from India to China.

Full Container Load (FCL): If you are importing from China to India on a larger scale and can fill a shipping container, FCL shipping will require less time than FCL. It will also cost less (when calculated on a cost-per-unit basis). Of course, the cost of container rental is considerable. Nevertheless, the shipping cost for the freight inside will be far less than the equivalent LCL fees for the same volume.

Air Freight from China to India

Shipping a container from China to India by sea will take several weeks. Therefore, if you need to move your goods quickly, you'll need to foot the higher bill for a carrier to fly them between the two countries. That will cut the transit time down to a few days at most.

How Much Does it Cost to Ship Freight From China to India?

The most effective way to assess the cost of shipping your freight from China to India is to get a quote from an online freight forwarder. That’s one of the benefits of the technical age we now live in—you can get a quote for air or ocean freight shipping in moments, with no obligation and at no cost.

On a page such as this, it's possible only to provide some idea of the factors making up the total cost of shipping an import from China to India. For example, any forwarder will need to assess the following pricing elements before providing you with a quote:

  • The current demand for ocean and air freight capacity
  • Fuel costs
  • Availability of capacity
  • The type of goods you wish to ship
  • The amount of freight you are shipping
  • Handling charges at the ports (or airports) of loading and discharge

Some General Pricing Guidelines

Many of the factors described above are significantly variable. Consequently, the price you are quoted today for a specific shipment of air or ocean freight might be considerably higher or lower in a week or two. For some general cost considerations, though, the following guidelines are always valid:

  • For shipments weighing around 100 kilograms, you should find it’s worth comparing quotes for both air and ocean shipping, as there may not be much difference. You might find it beneficial to take advantage of air freight’s speed at a price not much higher than that of ocean freight.
  • The price gap increases at weights greater than 100 kilograms, making ocean freight preferable unless fast shipping is essential.
  • If you choose ocean freight, FCL shipping offers the lowest pro-rata costs, as long as you have a sizable quantity of cargo to export from China to India.
  • LCL shipping is probably best for your business if you ship goods in small quantities and don't need to isolate your merchandise from other shippers' consignments. LCL rates are based on volume and weight calculations, and there is no requirement to pay a rental fee for a shipping container.

If you plan to ship a consignment with a total weight of 35 kilograms or less, you should not consider treating it as freight. Most freight forwarders, including Shipa Freight, don't handle shipments that small. In any case, you'll probably find it less costly to ship with an international courier company.

How Long Does it Take to Ship Freight From China to India?

Export shipments from China to India can take between 15 and 30 days if you use an ocean freight carrier. Transit time is reduced to just a few days for merchandise shipped as air cargo.

How Long Does It Take to Ship Cargo by Sea From China to India?

The transit times for ocean freight shipments from China to India vary depending on the loading and discharge ports you choose. As both countries comprise vast landmasses, differences between the longest and shortest routes are significant.

Customs Clearance in China and India

As with all imports and exports, those taking place between China and India are subject to the customs rules in effect within the two countries. While customs processes can be confusing, they are unavoidable, which is why many shippers prefer to work with a reputable freight forwarder.

Forwarders know the applicable customs procedures inside-out. They typically have experts and agents on hand to help you meet the requirements for export and import customs clearance.

Engaging a freight forwarder will not eliminate your responsibilities relating to customs clearance. Although your forwarder's experts will manage the processes and documentation for you, your business will at least need to provide the correct information required by carriers and customs authorities.

The documents for which you will need to provide information, and in some cases, to complete are mandatory for both export and import clearance and, most commonly, are as follows:

  1. Commercial Invoice
  2. Packing List
  3. Certificate of Origin
  4. Letter of Credit or other payment terms (depending on the contract between the parties involved)
  5. Bill of Lading for ocean freight or Airway Bill for air freight (Your freight forwarder should provide this)

Our Shipping Documents page will be worth a visit if you’d like to see examples of the documents listed above, and learn a little more about them. These may not be the only items of documentation required for your shipment. It’s wise to check with your forwarder or the relevant customs authorities to see if your goods must be accompanied by any other certificates, permits, or licenses.

Should You Choose Ocean Freight or Air Freight?

Ocean Freight

The most popular way to ship freight when importing from China to India is by sea. That's primarily because ocean shipping is not exceptionally costly and presents few limitations to cargo type and quantity transported. However, if you choose ocean freight for your Chinese exports to India, You’ll need to plan shipments in good time, due to the lengthy transit durations. You’ll also need to choose the most appropriate method of transportation from port to port. As you’ll probably want to send your goods in a shipping container from China to India, you have two options to consider. They are FCL and LCL.

Considerations for LCL Freight Shipping

If you ship small freight quantities, either frequently or occasionally, less-than-container-load (LCL) sea freight services will probably suit your business. When you use LCL shipping, you won't have to pay for a container's use and shipping. Your freight will be consolidated into a full-container-load along with other shippers' cargo.

The need for consolidation before your freight is loaded onto a container ship and the requirement to deconsolidate after arrival at the port of unloading, means that LCL shipping times can be longer than FCL. That's not always the case, though, so it's worth looking at several route options to see if you can save some time by picking specific ports of loading and discharge. For example, by accepting longer overland transportation legs, it may be possible to reduce overall shipping time by cutting the maritime distances involved.

LCL is an ideal shipping mode if your freight consignment occupies no more than, say, half a dozen pallets. Rates are calculated based on consignment weight and volume. That's why, unless you have enough freight to fill, or nearly fill a container, LCL will probably be your most affordable option.

Before you make a firm decision to use LCL shipping, consider the following questions. The answers will help you to be sure that it’s your best option:

  • Is your merchandise suitable for stowing in a shared container?
  • Are you comfortable with your consignment being handled several times during shipping?
  • Can you accommodate possible changes in scheduling that may delay your shipment?
  • Is the volume of your freight below 14 cubic meters? If it's more than that, you might be better off using FCL shipping.

Considerations for FCL Freight Shipping

Full-container-load (FCL) shipping typically suits businesses that ship a significant freight volume from China to India. However, it is also ideal if your cargo is precious or you have other reasons for your goods to stay isolated in transit. That's because, in FCL shipping, every consignment is sealed into a dedicated container.

Naturally, it will make sense to fill a container if you choose an FCL freight service, since that’s how you’ll get the most value for money. That said, even if you can't fill it, you might find the FCL rate lower than LCL if you have more than six or seven pallets or over 14 cubic meters of freight to move.

It’s also important to note that you can choose from several container types and sizes. For example, if your consignment has a volume of up to 33 cubic meters, a 20-foot container will be just right. However, if the shipment is close to double that volume, you won’t necessarily need to book two containers. You can probably save money by using a 40-foot container, which has a capacity of around 66 cubic meters.

Other shipping container types can provide you with even more space or enable you to ship products that would not survive a voyage in a standard container. Some containers have built-in equipment to keep their contents refrigerated or frozen, or have extra ventilation for goods requiring a free airflow to remain in good condition.

In summary, then, reasons to ship freight using an FCL service include:

  • Minimal handling of cargo during shipping
  • Security (as full containers are fitted with numbered seals after loading)
  • Shorter transit times than LCL (although not in every case)
  • Larger volumes of freight (that would render LCL shipping too costly)
  • Fewer processes in the end-to-end shipping flow (no need for freight consolidation/deconsolidation)

Air Freight

If your consignees in India can’t accommodate the lengthy transit times of ocean freight, air shipping will reduce the waiting time drastically, but comes at a cost. It’s the most expensive form of cargo transportation, often reserved for:

  • Emergency shipments
  • Small quantities of just three or four pallets or less
  • High-value goods
  • Products that must be delivered at the peak of freshness, such as flowers, fruit, or unfrozen meat and fish.

While expensive, air freight might also be worth considering in a few circumstances that differ from those outlined above. For example:

When the consignor or consignee of the shipment is located near to an international airport, especially if the location is deep inland and a long way from any seaports.

When your shipment needs the protection of the very tight security employed in the air transport industry.

During the peak seasons for ocean shipping, when sea-freight delays are more likely. Air freight can be especially useful as a hedge against delays. Ship a small consignment as air freight, while your main import/export shipment travels by sea.
