Clearance
At Baton Logistics, we simplify your international shipping with expert customs clearance services. As a China-based freight forwarder, we specialize in DDP and DDU air and sea freight from China to Amazon FBA and global destinations.

Warehousing & Consolidation
Baton Logistics, a China-based freight forwarder, operates dozens of warehouses in Tianjin, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong, offering over 25,000 sqm of storage.
Our consolidation service combines multiple supplier orders into one container, so you pay for one shipment instead of several. Importers shipping from China to North America, Europe and the Middle East use this service to cut per-unit freight cost.
Insurance
Cargo insurance protects your goods against financial loss in the supply chain. Secure your cargo with marine cargo insurance arranged through Baton Logistics.
It covers loss or damage during domestic and international transit, so a damaged or lost shipment does not become an unrecoverable cost. Potential risks include rough handling, collisions, theft, non-delivery, jettison, general average, and natural disasters.

More Questions You May Have
We will inform you promptly and explain the reason, then communicate with customs without delay. If our export documents are correct, clearance proceeds normally; we guide you through any extra requirements.
Telex release lets the shipper surrender the original bill of lading so the consignee can collect goods with a copy. Advantage: faster and cheaper, no original B/L needed. Disadvantage: less control once released.
Yes. We handle air and ocean shipments from China to worldwide destinations. Whatever logistics service you need: pickup, consolidation, customs or door-to-door, Baton Logistics can arrange it for you.
It depends on size and urgency. Under 15 CBM, LCL is more economical; over 15 CBM, FCL is better. For urgent or high-value cargo, air freight is recommended. We advise the best mode per shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship from China to the US?
Cost depends on mode, weight, volume, origin city and destination. Ocean LCL is the cheapest per cubic metre but needs enough volume to fill a shared container; air freight costs more per kilogram yet cuts weeks off transit. Send us cargo dimensions, weight, product name and whether you need DDP, and we return an itemised quote.
How long does shipping from China take?
Typical door-to-door transit is 25-40 days by ocean FCL, 30-45 days by ocean LCL including consolidation, and 5-10 days by air freight. Times vary with port congestion, customs inspection and inland distance at destination. We confirm an ETA for your specific route before booking.
What is the difference between DDP and DDU?
Under DDP the forwarder clears export and import customs and pays duties and taxes, so the buyer receives the goods at the door with no extra charges. Under DDU (also called DAP) the buyer handles import clearance and duties. DDP suits first-time importers; DDU can be cheaper when the buyer already has a customs broker and duty credits.
Do you handle customs clearance in China and at destination?
Yes. We file export declarations at Chinese ports and work with licensed brokers at destination for import clearance, duty assessment and inspections. Documents are checked before shipment so problems are caught early.
What documents do I need to ship from China?
Usually a commercial invoice, packing list and the bill of lading or air waybill. Some categories also need a certificate of origin, an MSDS for batteries or chemicals, or import licences at destination. We confirm the exact list once we know the HS code and product.
Can you handle small or LCL shipments?
Yes. Less-than-container-load (LCL) service consolidates your cargo with other shippers so you only pay for the space you use. We also operate more than 25,000 sqm of warehouse space in Tianjin, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong for storage and consolidation.
Which shipping mode is best for Amazon FBA?
Air freight or express suits fast replenishment and new-product launches; ocean FCL or LCL suits regular bulk replenishment where cost matters more than speed. Baton handles FBA prep, labelling and DDP delivery to Amazon warehouses in the US, UK, EU and Japan, so you choose the mode and we manage the rest.
