New to Foreign Trade? Start Here

——From Factory to Global: The Practical Path of "Connecting the Globe, Winning the Future Together"
In today's increasingly active international trade environment, more and more factories, brand owners, startup teams, and newcomers to foreign trade are beginning to explore export opportunities. However, first-time exporters often face a series of questions: What documents are needed for export? How to arrange booking, customs declaration, and container loading? Who handles sea freight, customs clearance, and delivery? Is it necessary to register import-export rights? Complex documentation requirements, vessel schedule coordination, customs procedures, and overseas delivery often leave beginners feeling overwhelmed.

With years of hands-on experience, Xinghan Tongda (Qingdao) International Supply Chain Service Co., Ltd. has developed a "Standardized Export Process + Customized Advisory Service" system. Leveraging an export logistics network covering major Chinese ports and a comprehensive document declaration and customs clearance service system, we provide new clients with one-stop export guidance and operational support. This helps startup export clients smoothly enter the international market, quickly build foreign trade knowledge, and achieve safe and compliant global expansion.

【Six Steps of the Export Process】
Step 1: Signing the Contract/Order Confirmation
Clarify transaction terms (such as FOB, CFR, DDP, etc.), confirm consignee and shipper information, delivery methods, and basic cargo requirements (specifications, quantity, packaging standards, etc.), laying the foundation for subsequent operations.

Step 2: Cargo Preparation and Transportation Planning
After completing cargo packaging, quantity verification, and export labeling, Xinghan Tongda assists in assessing transportation needs, recommending suitable routes and modes (FCL/LCL/Special Container/RORO), and simultaneously arranging bookings.

Step 3: Document Preparation and Pre-review
Basic documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists, customs declaration authorizations, contracts, and inspection materials need to be prepared. Xinghan Tongda offers document pre-review services to verify completeness and compliance, ensuring they meet customs declaration requirements.

Step 4: Port Customs Declaration and Release
After the cargo arrives at the port, Xinghan Tongda can act as an agent for customs declaration and inspection at major ports such as Qingdao, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Lianyungang, tracking the declaration process throughout to ensure smooth cargo release.

Step 5: Transportation Tracking and Dynamic Updates
After the vessel departs, Xinghan Tongda provides real-time logistics tracking services, updating key information such as cargo location and estimated time of arrival, helping clients plan downstream delivery schedules.

Step 6: Destination Port Customs Clearance and Delivery (Optional)
If clients choose DDP or DAP terms, Xinghan Tongda can coordinate customs clearance and door-to-door delivery services in regions such as the US and Canada, Australia, Southeast Asia, the UK, the Netherlands, Japan, and South Korea. Local Chinese-speaking teams ensure efficient process integration.
