Shipping Furniture and Home Goods from China家具与家居用品出口运输指南

Furniture is the classic volume cargo: light for its size, awkward in shape, and charged by the cubic metre. Getting the economics and the packing right matters more here than on any other commodity.家具是典型的“体积货”:泡、占地方、按立方计费。这一品类里,算好体积经济学、做好包装,比任何环节都重要。

Key takeaways要点速览

  • ✓Furniture fills a container long before it weighs one out — CBM, not tonnage, is the planning unit.家具“先装满体积、远装不满重量”——规划单位是 CBM 而不是吨。
  • ✓Disassembled / flat-pack furniture can cut chargeable volume by 20–40% versus assembled pieces.拆装/平板包装相比整装可减少 20–40% 计费体积。
  • ✓Corner protection, foam wrap and crates for glass and marble tops are not optional.护角、珍珠棉、玻璃与大理石台面打木架,一个都不能省。
  • ✓Wood packaging and crates must be ISPM-15 treated and stamped, or destination customs can refuse them.木质包装与木架必须做 ISPM-15 处理并加盖标识,否则目的国海关可能拒收。

The Volume Economics体积经济学

A 40HQ offers about 68 CBM of space and roughly 26 tonnes of payload; a sofa set can consume 8–12 CBM. Because ocean LCL is charged per CBM with a floor on handling, furniture is the commodity where the FCL crossover arrives earliest — often around 15 CBM rather than 25.40HQ 约 68 CBM 空间、载重约 26 吨;一套沙发就要占 8–12 CBM。拼箱按 CBM 计费且操作费有底价,所以家具是整箱交叉点来得最早的品类——常常 15 CBM 左右就该走整箱。

Packing That Survives the Journey经得起运输的包装

  • ▪Disassemble where the design allows — legs off, tops separate — and bag the hardware to the frame.设计允许就拆装——桌腿拆下、台面分体,五金件装袋固定在框架上。
  • ▪Foam-wrap surfaces, protect every corner, and never let wood touch wood inside a carton.表面珍珠棉、护角全上,柜内木材之间绝不能直接接触。
  • ▪Glass, marble and mirror pieces travel in crates with internal bracing — cartons alone are not enough.玻璃、大理石、镜面必须打木箱并内部支撑——只用纸箱不够。
  • ▪Palletise cartons where possible; loose furniture cartons are the first to be crushed in a CFS.纸箱尽量打托——散放的家具箱在拼箱仓最容易被压。
  • ▪Any wood packaging must be ISPM-15 stamped; keep the treatment certificate with the shipment file.木质包装必须有 ISPM-15 标识,处理证书随货存档。

Routes and Transit Examples航线与时效举例

Most furniture exports load at Yantian and Shekou in South China, or Ningbo-Zhoushan and Shanghai for East China factories. Indicative ocean transit: Australia East Coast 12–22 days, US West Coast 14–22, North Europe 33–45 via the Cape routing.家具出口多在华南 盐田、蛇口 装船,华东工厂则走 宁波舟山、上海。参考海运航程:澳洲东岸 12–22 天、美西 14–22 天、北欧经好望角绕航 33–45 天。

Destination guides: Australia, United States, United Kingdom, Germany.目的地指南:澳大利亚、美国、英国、德国。

Last Mile for Heavy Pieces重货的末端派送

A container of furniture usually needs more than a tailgate: confirm whether the delivery address has a forklift or dock, whether the street fits a 40-ft truck, and whether inside delivery with assembly debris removal is required. Tell us at booking — these details change the haulage cost far more than the ocean leg does.一整柜家具通常不止需要尾板:要确认收货地址有无叉车或卸货平台、街道能否进 40 尺车、是否需要入室派送并带走包装垃圾。订舱时就说清楚——这些细节对派送成本的影响远大于海运段。

Frequently Asked Questions常见问题

Can I ship different suppliers’ furniture in one container?不同供应商的家具能拼一个柜吗?

Yes — that is the standard way to fill a 40HQ. We collect at our self-operated warehouse, check each batch against its packing list, load once, and issue one B/L.可以,这正是装满 40HQ 的标准做法。我们在自营仓库集中各批货、对照装箱单核验、一次装柜并出具一套提单。

Do I need ISPM-15 pallets and crates?托盘和木架一定要 ISPM-15 吗?

Yes for any solid-wood packaging. Plastic pallets, plywood and processed wood are generally exempt, but crates made of raw timber must be heat-treated or fumigated and stamped.实木包装都需要。塑料托盘、胶合板等加工木材一般豁免,但原木木箱必须热处理或熏蒸并加盖标识。

How is furniture freight charged?家具运费怎么算?

By container type for FCL, and by CBM (revenue ton) for LCL. Because furniture is light for its volume, the CBM figure almost always governs.整箱按柜型计价,拼箱按 CBM(运费吨)计。家具泡货为主,几乎总是按体积计。
