Thailand implements a free economic policy, and its economy has grown rapidly in recent years. It has become one of the “Four Asian Tigers”, and also one of the world’s newly industrialized countries and emerging market economies in the world. As the trade between China and Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries has become more frequent, the demand for special lines from China to Thailand is also relatively large, especially sea freight, which is the preferred transportation method for more cargo owners.

Generally speaking, the time and cost of shipping from China to Thailand are two issues that cargo owners are more concerned about. Today, Focus Global Logistics will tell you how long it takes to ship from China to Thailand.

First of all, we must know that the time of sea transportation is determined by several dimensions, such as sailing date, shipping time, arrival time, etc., each of which may affect the overall transportation timeliness.

1. Date of sailing

After the shipping company receives the seller’s goods, it usually waits for the shipping date to arrive before sailing. Generally, there are three cuts and four cuts, and seven cuts and one cut, that is, the goods will be delivered before this Wednesday, and the ship will not be able to sail until the next Thursday. Therefore, it is recommended that you submit all the materials required for customs declaration before the cut-off order, so as to avoid affecting customs declaration and cargo transportation.

2. Shipping time by sea

Generally speaking, the time of sea transportation is relatively stable, about 15 days, unless it is affected by force majeure factors such as particularly bad weather, which leads to a longer transportation time. In addition, if it is a fast ship, the shipping time will be relatively short.

3. Arrival time

Goods shipped from China to Thailand after being transported by sea, it will arrive at the corresponding port (the main ports in Thailand are: Laem Chabang Port, Bangkok Port, Chiang Saen Port, Chiang Khong Port, Ranong Port). However, the time of arrival at the port is not certain. If there is someone in the local area to pick up the goods, then usually it will take 1-2 days to complete the customs clearance and arrive at the port, and then the goods can be taken to the warehouse for distribution and delivery.

However, it is also possible to encounter inspections, which will affect the overall transportation timeliness. Such as agency inspection (about two days), open cabinet inspection, and designated location inspection; the length of time for different inspections varies, and it is difficult to say how long it will take at the latest.

4. Final delivery

Generally, there are two types of last-mile delivery by sea: truck and express. For express delivery, the timeliness is faster and can be completed in 1-2 days; for trucks, the cost is lower, but the timeliness is also slower.

So in general, the shipping time from China to Thailand is about 20-40 days. If you haven’t received the freight forwarder’s signature for a long time, you should contact the freight forwarder company in time.
