Sea Freight

China to Syria FCL

For full container loads, we hold VIP contract space with CMA for sailings toward Latakia, giving importers priority access to booking allocations during periods when space on Middle East lanes is tight. FCL is the preferred method for steel coils, machinery, vehicles, batteries and bulk trading orders that fill 20ft or 40ft containers.

Every FCL booking includes export customs brokerage from China, container loading supervision, and the documentation required for restricted commodities such as batteries, vehicles and steel export licenses. Sailing schedules and routing are confirmed at time of booking and can vary depending on carrier allocation and port conditions.

  • VIP CMA contract rates for 20ft and 40ft containers
  • Export brokerage and license documentation included
  • Suited for steel, machinery, vehicles and batteries
  • Booking priority during constrained carrier allocation
  • Ideal for small and mid-sized trading orders
  • Consolidated at our China warehouse before loading
  • Shared container space keeps freight cost lower
  • Combined with FCL cargo when volumes align
Sea Freight

China to Syria LCL

Not every shipment fills a container. LCL consolidation lets importers move smaller quantities without paying for a full box, by combining multiple clients' cargo bound for Latakia or Tartus into a single container. Volumes are cleared for consolidation at our Guangzhou warehouse, tallied and documented before departure.

LCL is well suited to sample orders, mixed product lines, and trading companies scaling toward full container volume. Because it depends on consolidation cut-off dates and available co-loaders, LCL departure timing can vary shipment to shipment.

Routing Strategy

Direct vs Transshipment Routing

We maintain both a direct CMA sailing option to Latakia and three transshipment alternatives -- via Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon -- so cargo has a path forward when direct space or port access is disrupted. Route choice, sailing frequency and transit time depend on carrier allocation, port conditions and current lane restrictions at the time of booking, and cannot be guaranteed in advance.

Direct to Latakia

CMA VIP contract space, subject to sailing availability at time of booking.

Via Jordan

Overland transshipment alternative when maritime access is constrained.

Via Turkey

A second-country routing path used depending on port and lane conditions.

Via Lebanon

Land bridge option into Syria, also used for COD-enabled deliveries.

Port Clearance

Latakia Customs Clearance

As Syria's primary container port, Latakia requires accurate commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and, where applicable, export license copies for controlled goods such as batteries, vehicles and steel. Our team prepares and submits clearance documentation ahead of vessel arrival to minimize avoidable delays at the terminal.

Because clearance timelines depend on customs workload, inspection requirements and documentation completeness, we do not promise a fixed clearance window -- but we do keep importers informed at every stage and flag issues before they escalate into demurrage.

Tartus Customs Clearance

Tartus serves as an alternative discharge port depending on routing, vessel schedules and cargo type. We handle the same documentation standards there as at Latakia -- invoices, packing lists, origin certificates and license paperwork for restricted commodities -- coordinating directly with local clearance agents.

Whether cargo is routed through Latakia or Tartus is determined at booking based on available sailings and current port conditions, not fixed in advance.

Last Mile

Syria Inland Trucking

Once cargo clears customs at Latakia or Tartus, our inland trucking network moves containers and consolidated freight to destinations across Syria. Rather than handing cargo off to a separate agent at the port, the same team that booked your container in Guangzhou coordinates delivery to the buyer's location.

Trucking routes and delivery windows are arranged around road conditions and buyer accessibility at time of dispatch.

  • Port-to-door coordination without a separate handoff
  • Coverage across major Syrian cities and regions
  • One point of contact for status updates end to end
Payment Collection

Cash-on-Delivery Collection

For shippers and trading partners who need payment secured at the point of delivery, we offer cash-on-delivery collection built into the Syria and Lebanon delivery process. Our inland trucking team collects payment directly from the buyer upon handover, with proceeds remitted back through agreed channels.

This service is coordinated as part of the same delivery run -- no separate collection agent, no extra handoff.

  • Payment collected at delivery, not before dispatch
  • Handled by the same trucking team, not a subcontractor
  • Available on Syria and Lebanon delivery routes

Origin Handling

China Warehouse Consolidation

Before cargo departs for Syria, goods from multiple suppliers or factory pickups are received, tallied and consolidated at our Guangzhou warehouse. This allows buyers sourcing from several vendors across China to combine shipments into a single FCL or LCL booking, reducing handling and freight cost.

Warehouse services include receiving, inspection tally, palletizing or crating as needed, and container loading supervision prior to gate-in.
