How are goods from China to France classified?
As the economic and trade exchanges between China and France continue to increase, the demand for cargo transportation from China to France is growing day by day. However, different types of goods require different handling and transportation methods. This article will focus on how to classify goods from China to France, and discuss the two modes of transportation, ocean freight shipping and air freight.
Classification and handling of ocean freight shipping goods
1. Standard goods
Standard goods usually refer to goods that are larger in size, heavier in weight, and regular in shape, such as furniture, electrical appliances, textiles, etc. This type of goods is usually transported in the form of a full container. The freight forwarder will select the appropriate container type based on the characteristics of the goods and arrange the corresponding sea transportation route.
2. Liquids and chemicals
The transportation of liquids and chemicals requires special containers and transportation conditions to ensure the safety and stability of the goods. Freight forwarders will select appropriate liquid containers or chemical containers based on the characteristics of the goods and ensure compliance with relevant ocean freight shipping regulations and safety standards.
3. Temperature controlled goods
Temperature-controlled goods include food, medicine and other goods that need to be maintained at specific temperature conditions. Freight forwarders will choose containers equipped with refrigeration or freezing facilities to ensure that the goods maintain the appropriate temperature throughout the transportation process and to avoid spoilage or deterioration of the goods.
4. Sensitive goods
Sensitive goods such as electronic products, precision instruments, etc. require special packaging and handling to prevent damage or loss. Freight forwarders will select appropriate packaging materials and transportation methods based on the characteristics of the goods, and provide additional protection measures to ensure the safe delivery of the goods to their destination.
Classification of air cargo
1. Little baby
Light baby usually refers to goods that are smaller in size and lighter in weight, such as documents, samples, gifts, etc. This type of goods is usually transported by express mail, and the freight forwarder will select a suitable express company and select the appropriate type of express service based on the urgency of the goods.
2. Fast consumables
Fast-moving consumables such as fashion products, fresh food and other goods that need to be delivered as soon as possible. Freight forwarders will choose the express delivery service provided by the express delivery company to ensure that the goods can reach the destination in the shortest time to meet customer needs.
3. High value goods
High-value goods such as jewelry and artwork require special security measures. Freight forwarders will choose reputable airlines and take additional security measures, such as using dedicated escorts and providing insurance, to ensure the safe transportation of goods.
4. Temporary goods
Temporary goods such as exhibits and performance props need to be delivered to their destination in a short time. Freight forwarders will select appropriate flights based on the urgency of the cargo and provide temporary transportation solutions to ensure that the cargo reaches the destination on time.
From the above analysis, it can be seen that whether it is ocean freight shipping or air freight, goods from China to France need to be classified and processed according to their characteristics, and appropriate transportation methods and services must be selected. Freight forwarders need to take into account the characteristics of the goods, transportation timeliness, safety and customer needs when handling different types of goods to ensure that the goods can arrive at the destination safely and timely and provide customers with high-quality freight services.
As the economic and trade cooperation between China and France continues to deepen, the transportation of goods from China to France will continue to develop and grow, and freight forwarders will play an increasingly important role.
