Our Tailored Solution

 

 

Pre-Shipment Planning

 

After inspecting the machines at the Shanghai factory, we implemented:

 

  • Custom crating: 18mm plywood boxes with desiccant packs to prevent humidity damage

 

  • Load optimization: Designed interlocking pallet patterns to maximize container space (achieved 78% utilization in a 20'GP)

 

  • Document prep: Pre-certified INMETRO compliance documents to avoid Brazil inspection delays

 

 

Transport Execution

 

  • Ocean freight: Selected COSCO’s direct Shanghai-Santos route (33-day transit)

 

  • In-transit care: Installed vibration sensors on critical units

 

  • Brazilian logistics:

 

。 Pre-booked Manaus FTZ unloading appointment

 

。 Arranged bonded trucking with liftgate service

 

 

Regulatory Compliance

 

  • Tax optimization: Leveraged Free Zone tax incentives
