How to import and ship solar panels from China?

Importing and shipping solar panels from China can be a cost-effective way to access high-quality renewable energy products. By understanding the key considerations, choosing reliable suppliers, and working with an experienced freight forwarder like Tonlexing, you can streamline the import process and ensure a successful outcome.

How are solar panels shipped?

Most solar panels are shipped via 20ft or 40ft containers. Depending on the quantity, you may choose between FCL (Full Container Load) or LCL (Less than Container Load). FCL: If you are importing a large number of solar panels, booking a full container is cost-effective and provides better security for your goods.

How do solar panel shipments work?

Solar panel shipments are transported globally through a complex international supply chain – involving manufacturers, freight forwarders, foreign and domestic Customs brokers, warehousing providers, and last-mile logistics companies who ensure the panels get to their destination on time and on budget.

How to choose the right shipping method for solar panels?

The freight forwarder needs to ensure that the packaging material is suitable for the specific type and size of the panel. Shipping method: Choosing the right shipping method (air, sea or rail) is a critical decision that affects the cost and safety of shipping solar panels. Each mode has its advantages and challenges.
