Furniture, large home items, luggage, books, kitchenware and boxed daily goods suit sea freight, especially low-value high-volume products.
Urgent documents, seasonal clothes and small restocks should go by air instead.
Small items are charged by actual weight and large items by cubic metres, never both. Compress soft bulky goods to cut cost.
Consolidate multiple Taobao orders at the China warehouse first to avoid repeated base costs.
Sea freight to Singapore takes weeks, so plan ahead; schedules and inspections cause variation.
Confirm food, medicine and battery items under sensitive goods rules, declare specific product names and keep quantities personal.
