If you already have a long-term international freight forwarder or customs broker, you may choose FOB shipping. Under FOB terms, HomeBridge can assist with:
Organising product and packing information
Contacting your nominated freight forwarder
Coordinating collection from different factories
Consolidating products
Arranging container loading
Handling China export documentation
Handing goods over to your nominated forwarder
After the goods leave China, international transport, destination customs clearance, and local delivery are mainly handled by your nominated logistics team.
Even under FOB terms, HomeBridge can help connect you with, where needed:
International freight forwarders
Local customs brokers
Customs declaration agents
Trucking companies
Local delivery providers
You do not need to rely entirely on your own network. We can use our existing experience to help connect you with more suitable logistics resources.
How Should You Choose Between DDP and FOB?
Choose DDP if you want:
A simpler end-to-end shipping process
No need to manage customs clearance yourself
No need to contact multiple logistics providers
One project manager coordinating the process
Delivery directly to your nominated address
Choose FOB if you:
Already work with a long-term freight forwarder
Have your own importing company or customs team
Are familiar with local customs procedures
Prefer to control the overseas leg of shipping
Have special logistics contracts or pricing
If you are unsure which option is more suitable, we can help compare them based on your country, order volume, project timeline, and delivery conditions.
