China origin / coordinated final delivery
Door to Door Shipping From China
Coordinate China pickup, export, the confirmed international mode, import handoff and final delivery around one reviewed shipment plan.
Sea, air, rail, road or express may be considered. Availability depends on the cargo, destination, supplied information, importer arrangement and carrier or operating-party acceptance.

What door-to-door means
One route needs agreed handoffs.
Door-to-door describes coordinated movement from the agreed China pickup point to the confirmed destination address. It does not by itself define the Incoterm, importer, customs liability or tax payer.
China pickup and export
Supplier collection, warehouse receipt, cargo review, booking and export-service parties are aligned to the accepted plan.
Confirmed transport mode
Sea, air, rail, road or express is selected against cargo facts, route feasibility, timing and carrier acceptance.
Import handoff and delivery
The importer, customs handoff, duty/tax responsibility and final-delivery scope are defined before booking.
Import-side structure
Define the import handoff before booking.
The workable arrangement depends on the sales term, destination, cargo, consignee and local operating-party acceptance. Door-to-door is not automatically DDP.
Customer or appointed importer
For DAP or similar scopes, the customer or its appointed importer handles destination clearance and duties/taxes while BAT coordinates the agreed final-delivery handoff.
Eligible local operating partner
Where a DDP shipping model or locally arranged model is eligible, BAT may coordinate an assessed operating partner for the agreed import, tax and delivery scope.
Shipment-specific confirmation
Neither model is universal. Product, value, consignee, destination, documents and local requirements are reviewed before acceptance.
Mode by destination
Choose the route around cargo and market.
Rates, transit, import eligibility, taxes, capacity and acceptance can change. The final quotation applies only to the reviewed shipment facts and stated scope.
Battery-cargo review
Documents first. Acceptance next.
Lithium batteries and battery-powered products and ordinary commercial goods can be assessed. Battery cargo requires complete customer/factory-supplied information and operating-party review.
Clear service boundary: BAT Logistics reviews supplied information and coordinates relevant parties. We do not issue or obtain UN38.3, MSDS/SDS, transport test reports, dangerous-goods packaging certificates or performance sheets, and we do not guarantee carrier, customs or regulatory acceptance.

How planning works
Five checks from enquiry to a workable door-to-door plan.
Share shipment facts
Origin, destination, product, pieces, packing, weight, dimensions, value and ready date.
Check cargo and documents
Identify product, packing, compliance and transport-information gaps.
Confirm the handoff
Assess importer, customs, duty/tax and destination-delivery responsibilities.
Build the quotation
Select a workable mode and state included scope, assumptions and exclusions.
Track each handoff
Coordinate agreed origin, international, import and final-delivery milestones.
Coordinated handoffs
China pickup to final delivery.
The exact parties and documents depend on the shipment. A confirmed scope can connect the following handoffs without implying that BAT is automatically the seller or importer.
Dongguan → Shenzhen → Hamburg
200 storage battery packs. One DAP sea handoff plan.
An anonymous shipment of UN3480 lithium-ion battery packs for energy storage moved from Dongguan to Hamburg with the customer responsible for German import clearance and duties/taxes.
Documents supplied
UN38.3 information, MSDS/SDS, sea transport test report, dangerous-goods packaging certificate or performance sheet, and export declaration information.
What BAT Logistics coordinated
Dongguan pickup, Shenzhen warehouse receipt and review, booking, export-service handoffs, sea freight and the local operating partner’s final delivery after the customer completed German import clearance.
Outcome
Clearance and final delivery were completed in approximately 45 days.
This describes one completed shipment. It is not a guaranteed transit time, import result, carrier acceptance or future quotation.

Frequently asked questions
Practical answers before you request a quote.
What is door-to-door shipping from China?
It is a coordinated shipment scope from an agreed China pickup point through export and international transport to an agreed destination address. The quotation should state the mode, importer/customs handoff, final-delivery scope, assumptions and exclusions.
Is door-to-door shipping the same as DDP?
No. Door-to-door describes the physical service scope, while DDP is an Incoterms® sales rule. A door-to-door quotation may operate under DAP, DDP or another agreed structure depending on who acts as importer and pays duties and taxes.
Which transport modes can be used?
Sea, air, rail, road or express can be considered. For the United States, air, sea or express are typical assessed options; selected European markets may also use rail or road. Final choice depends on cargo and route acceptance.
Can lithium batteries move door to door?
Some lithium-battery and battery-powered-product shipments can be assessed when customer/factory-supplied information is complete. Final mode, carrier, importer, customs and operating-party acceptance is shipment-specific.
Does BAT issue UN38.3 or MSDS/SDS?
No. BAT reviews customer/factory-supplied information and coordinates relevant parties. We do not issue or obtain those documents, test reports or packaging certificates.
Is the delivery time or landed cost guaranteed?
No universal guarantee should be assumed. The quotation applies to reviewed shipment facts and states its scope, assumptions, exclusions and validity. Changes to cargo, customs treatment, taxes, capacity, route or destination conditions may change the result.
Start with the shipment
Request a shipment-specific door-to-door plan.
Send the origin, destination, product, pieces, packing, gross weight, dimensions, value, available documents, importer or Incoterm information and cargo-ready date. We will review the facts before confirming mode, handoff scope and quotation.
