China → Southeast Asia · near-sea freight
Shipping from China to Southeast Asia
FCL, LCL and air-freight coordination from China to Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. We compare the exact port pair, country import requirements, base freight and the complete destination scope.
We normally start the written conversation within several hours; a complex quote can take longer.
Benchmarks checked 15 October 2026. Typical port-to-port transit: Vietnam 3–7 days, Thailand 4–8 days and Indonesia 8–12 days; North China can take longer.

Verifiable example
Real market range across three ASEAN corridors
Published 2026 rate cards show why a single “Southeast Asia price” is misleading: a 40HQ base ocean line item can be near USD 200 on a short South China–Vietnam lane and approach USD 1,000 on longer Indonesia lanes.
