China’s biggest ports, the UK’s leading trade lane specialists. FCL, LCL and air freight handled door to door – with no hidden costs and no complications.
China remains the world’s largest exporter and for UK businesses sourcing goods from the mainland, having a reliable, experienced freight forwarding partner is not simply a convenience – it is a competitive necessity.
At Far East Shipping, we specialise exclusively in UK – Far East trade lanes, giving us a depth of knowledge and a network of trusted partners in China that are second to none.
Whether you’re importing from the manufacturing hubs of Guangdong and Zhejiang, the technology clusters around Shenzhen and Shanghai, or the vast industrial centres further inland – we provide a seamless door to door import service tailored to your specific cargo, timeline and budget.
Sea freight remains the most cost effective method of importing goods from China and is a core service across our portfolio of import services. We offer both full container load (FCL) and less than container load (LCL) services from all major Chinese ports, including Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Qingdao and Tianjin.
Our FCL service is ideal for business with sufficient cargo volume to fill a 20ft or 40ft container, providing you with dedicated space, faster transit and reduced handling risk. For smaller shipments where a full container would be uneconomical, our LCL consolidation service allows you to pay only for the space your cargo occupies, sharing container capacity with other shippers consignments.

When speed is paramount – whether due to tight product launch windows, stock replenishment requirements or time sensitive raw materials – our air freight service from China provides a reliable express solution. We work with a carefully selected network of airline partners operating from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen international airports, connecting to all major UK airports including London Heathrow, Manchester and Glasgow.
Air freight is particularly well suited to high value, low volume cargo where the cost per kilo premium is justified by speed or the reduction in inventory holding costs. Our import team will advise you honestly on whether air freight is the right solution for your specific shipment.
One of the most common challenges for UK importers from China is managing the disruption caused by Chinese New Year factory closures and the pre-Golden Week production rush.
Our experienced team provides proactive guidance and cut off dates, vessel bookings and contingency planning to ensure your supplier chain remains resilient throughout the peak periods. We actively monitor capacity constraints and advise our clients well in advance.
