Your Dedicated Door-to-Door SOC Shipping Agent from Shanghai
Managing a complete door-to-door shipment with your own Shipper Owned Container (SOC) requires precise coordination. This service provides professional freight forwarder and shipping agent solutions for your 20-foot General Purpose (20GP) and 40-foot High Cube (40HQ) SOC containers, covering the entire journey from your doorstep in Shanghai, China, to the final destination. We specialize in orchestrating the complex logistics chain while you retain control of your container assets. We are a logistics service provider and do not engage in the procurement of goods or containers.
1. Service Definition: Comprehensive Door-to-Door Logistics Management
We act as your single point of contact, managing all transportation and customs facets for your SOC shipment:
- Origin Haulage: Coordinating the pickup of the empty SOC container (supplied by you) and its delivery to your Shanghai facility for loading, followed by transport to the port.
- Export Formalities: Handling all freight-related export documentation and customs clearance procedures at the port of loading (e.g., Shanghai Yangshan).
- Ocean Freight Coordination: Securing vessel space and managing the ocean carriage for your container.
- Destination Services: Arranging port discharge, import customs clearance (through our agent network), and final truck delivery to the consignee's address.
- Empty Return: Managing the return of the empty SOC container to a designated depot.
Role Clarification: We provide transportation and customs brokerage coordination. The SOC container must be shipper-owned/leased and certified (CSC). We verify its road and seaworthiness for the journey.
