China → India Overview
A Leading China to India Freight Forwarder
China is India's largest single trading partner by container volume, and Apextar runs it as a network of scheduled lanes rather than one-off bookings — 35 Chinese origins, from Shanghai and Ningbo on the east coast to Shenzhen and Guangzhou in the Pearl River Delta, Qingdao, Tianjin and Dalian in the north, and Hong Kong as a free-port gateway, feeding 27 Indian seaports and inland container depots.
Every lane includes the same core service regardless of size: factory pickup and export documentation in China, FCL or consolidated LCL ocean freight (with air freight available for urgent cargo), and in-house Indian customs brokerage that clears the shipment at the arrival port or ICD without handing off to a separate agent.
Because we book these lanes every week, we track carrier reliability and current container freight rates on each one — including the busiest corridors into Mundra and JNPT (Nhava Sheva) — and pass that information on when you request a quote, rather than working from a stale published tariff.

Good to Know
China to India Shipping — FAQs
Which Chinese ports ship to India?
We run scheduled lanes from 35 Chinese origins — including Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Tianjin, Dalian and Hong Kong — into 27 Indian seaports and inland container depots. Don't see your exact port? We book cargo from anywhere in China; this directory reflects our most-requested lanes.
How are container freight rates from China to Mundra and other ports set?
Rate depends on the specific lane, container size, season and current carrier capacity — Chinese New Year and the pre-Diwali months run tighter. We quote current rates per shipment; open any route below for lane-specific detail, or request a quote for a live number.
Can you deliver anywhere in India, not just the port cities?
Yes — beyond seaport delivery, we run direct rail-linked lanes to inland container depots serving Delhi-NCR (ICD Tughlakabad, ICD Sonipat, ICD Garhi Harsaru), Panipat (ICD Jhattipur), Faridabad, Ludhiana and Jaipur, so cargo clears customs close to where you actually operate rather than at the coast.
Do you handle both FCL and LCL from China?
Yes, on every lane — full containers on the next available sailing, and consolidated LCL for smaller shipments on a regular schedule. See our FCL and LCL service pages for detail.
Is air freight available alongside sea freight?
Yes — for time-critical cargo we book air freight from major Chinese gateways including Shanghai and Tianjin into Delhi and other Indian airports. See our air cargo services page for detail.
Who handles customs clearance on the Indian side?
Apextar's in-house customs house agents file the Bill of Entry and manage duty assessment and release, whether your cargo lands at a seaport or an inland depot.
How do I get a China to India shipping rate?
Share your origin, destination, cargo type and volume through our quote form and we'll respond with current rates and sailing options for that specific lane.
