Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Ecuador, the two countries have maintained good diplomatic relations, and economic and trade exchanges between the two countries have become more and more frequent. As economic and commercial exchanges between the two deepen, more and more Ecuadorian businessmen buy from China. In recent years, Ecuadorian entrepreneurs have mainly bought high-quality and low-priced products such as cars, machinery and electronic products. As a buyer, when you buy goods, you need to consider how to send them from China to Ecuador, therefore, in terms of transportation, I assume you will encounter the following problems:
(1) The mode of transportation from China to Ecuador;
(2) The price range and traffic of each transportation route;
(3) The mode of transport to be chosen for the different types of goods;
Next, I will solve your doubts from the three previous aspects.
1.The mode of transportation from China to Ecuador
There are three types of transportation methods: ocean freight, air freight, and express delivery.
Maritime transport: Ecuador has many ports, such as: ESMERALDAS, Manta, Guayaquil, Puerto Bolívar, Balao Terminal, La Libertad. Among them, Guayaquil is the largest port in Ecuador, and the number of ships that arrive at this port is also the largest. The port of Guayaquil is the most important exporting port in Ecuador, through which 70% of its foreign trade is mobilized.
Air transport: Ecuador has two international airports: Quito and Guayaquil, so the merchandise sent from China is sent first to these two airports.
Express delivery: the main express courier companies are DHL, FEDEX, UPS. Each of the three logistics has advantages and disadvantages:
DHL: the price is high, the speed is fast.
FEDEX: Price is medium, speed is medium.
UPS: The price is low, the speed is slow.
2. The range of prices and the traffic of each transport route.
Maritime transport: according to the different types of containers, the freight is also different, such as to the port of Guayaquil.
The transit is 27-37 days.
Air transport: the freight is charged according to the weight of the merchandise, such as the Guayaquil airport (to send by air, the weight of the merchandise must reach at least 45kgs)
45+: $ 10.8 / KG - $ 14.2 / KG
100+: $ 10 / KG - $ 11.2 / kg
1000+: $ 9.2 / KG - $ 10.8 / kg
Air freight has two weights: volumetric weight and actual weight. When the volumetric weight> actual weight, the freight weight is calculated based on the volumetric weight, when the volumetric weight <actual weight, the freight weight is calculated based on the actual weight.
The transit is 5-7 days.
Express delivery: the transportation time of the three express delivery companies is different:
DHL: 4-6 days
FEDEX: 5-7 days
UPS: 7-10 days
3.The mode of transport to be chosen for the different types of goods
Maritime transport: when the cargo volume is large, the weight is heavy, the purchase quantity is large, and the cargo volume more than 5CBM, it is recommended to ship by sea. When the cargo volume more than 15CBM, it is recommended to choose the full container; When the cargo volume is less than 15CBM, it is recommended to choose to send consolidated sea way, such as: automobile product, large machinery product.
Air transport: the cargo is of small size and medium weight (more than 45 kg), and it is urgent to receive, it is recommended to choose the air shipment, as an electronic product.
Express delivery: the products are light, small in size and weigh less than 45kgs. It is recommended to select express delivery shipping.
Due to the large increase in freight in 2021, there is a shortage of space for air and sea transport. If you have a demand for shipping, it is recommended to make the boat or plane reservation in advance to avoid the impossibility of getting the space in time when the delivery is made and causing the cargo to be stranded in China.
