Packaging & Logistics — Common Questions

Do I need my own freight forwarder?
Most B2B buyers use FOB with their own forwarder. If you don't have one in China, we can recommend partners we work with regularly.
How should suits be packed to avoid creasing?
Hanging carton preferred — jacket on hanger, no fold. For sea freight, flat fold with tissue works if suits will be steamed on arrival.
Can I split air + sea for a hotel opening?
Yes. Priority styles (front desk, management) by air; remaining stock (housekeeping, secondary sizes) by sea. Requires advance planning at production scheduling.
What export documents with every shipment?
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin. Additional on request: AQL report, fabric test reports, Form A (GSP).
