Logistics & Customs Coordination

What We Do

Shipping bulk HDPE pipes has specific requirements: container selection (20’ vs 40’ vs 40’HC), loading configuration, pipe end protection, and documentation that satisfies your country’s import requirements and project specifications.

What We Coordinate

Container selection and loading

• Pipe length vs container internal dimensions — pipes longer than 11.8m require open-top containers
• Loading configuration to prevent pipe deformation in transit
• Adequate end protection and pipe stacking support

Export documentation

We ensure the factory prepares a complete export documentation set:

• Commercial invoice and packing list
• Certificate of Origin (Form E for ASEAN, Form A for GSP countries)
• Material test certificates (ISO 4427 conformity, resin batch records)
• Test reports (hydrostatic pressure test, dimensional inspection)
• Bill of Lading

Freight forwarding

We work with established freight forwarders from China’s major pipe manufacturing ports (Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, Guangzhou). We pass freight costs through at cost — no markup.

Customs clearance at destination

We can coordinate with local customs brokers at your destination port, particularly in Southeast Asia and the Middle East where we have established relationships.
