How We Work

RFQ

Share commodity name, DG status, weight, volume, piece count, and destination. We confirm the right air option and tariff outline.

Booking

We reserve airline space, confirm cut-off timing, and coordinate pickup or warehouse delivery before cargo is tendered at origin.

Origin customs

We prepare export documents, complete China customs filing, and move cargo from the origin warehouse to the departure airport.

Main-leg air

We track each departure and arrival milestone, then update you as cargo moves through the air main-leg.

Destination clearance

We handle destination customs, duty settlement under DDP, and dispatch courier or trucking for final delivery.

Signed delivery

We follow the shipment through final handover, capture POD, and close the lane once delivery is confirmed.

Why ShinSun-Uni

Two-market self-operated product matrix

USA and Canada — both lanes on this page run under our own DDP product line, not subcontracted to a single-market agent. Three product tiers in total (USA air-express, USA airport-to-airport, Canada air-express), so we match your shipment to the right tier instead of forcing one channel.

FAQ

Air-express, airport-to-airport, or commercial courier — which fits my cargo?

Air-express DDP for fulfillment-bound shipments where door-arrival matters. Airport-to-airport when you have a destination 3PL or trucking partner taking over at the airport. Commercial courier for individual parcels at or below 45 kg.

How do I estimate chargeable weight before sending a quote request?

For volumetric / light cargo: 1 CBM = 167 kg. For palletized cargo: L × W × H in cm ÷ 6000. We bill on the higher of gross weight or chargeable weight.

Can you ship lithium batteries or battery-bearing electronics?

Yes, by case. We screen lithium-ion and lithium-metal shipments against current IATA Lithium Battery Guidance — covering embedded, packed-with, and stand-alone configurations under PI 965–970. We confirm airline acceptance, UN3480 / UN3481 / UN3090 / UN3091 marking, and section IA / IB / II thresholds before quoting. Send commodity name, battery configuration, and MSDS; we reply with feasibility and any packaging requirements.

When should I pick air over ocean?

Pick air when (a) you’re restocking against a sell-through window measured in weeks, not months — FBA replenishment, ASIN restock, DTC product launches; (b) your unit economics can absorb a higher freight cost per kg without breaking margin — generally electronics, apparel, accessories with several USD or more per kg of landed value; (c) ocean transit would arrive after a contracted retail window or after the peak-demand curve has rolled.

How long is an air freight quote valid for?

Quote validity is stated in writing at the time of issue. The main-leg portion is subject to airline GRA (general rate adjustments) and fuel surcharge updates. Once cargo is in our warehouse, the quoted rate is locked through booking. Quotes for shipments still in production are re-validated at booking.
