How the 12-month volume is counted

Approximately 1,200 container-equivalents were handled on U.S.-bound routes through Buildcargo’s operating and partner channels during the 12 months ending August 2026. This includes full-container movements and consolidated LCL volume converted under Buildcargo’s published internal method. It does not mean every movement was a full container and is not a promise of future capacity. Reviewed by Buildcargo Logistics Operations · September 3, 2026.

Specialist fit

When is Buildcargo a better fit for a home project?

  1. Bought already—but not yet ready for export shipping.

  2. Doors, glass, stone, cabinets and furniture need different receiving and packing decisions.

  3. One China-side contact connects suppliers, warehouse, transport and delivery scope.

Six anonymized originals

Six real records. One completed project.

Pre-quote, final quote, payment, customs records and carrier bill of lading. The customer confirmed receipt on September 18, 2026; delivery photos, a short video and WhatsApp feedback complete the case separately from these six records. They are not a signed delivery receipt.

Swipe through the six originals. Tap one to inspect it.

How the originals were anonymized

The public WebP records are flattened, metadata-cleared and anonymized; the original commercial files remain offline. Public copies do not show customer or supplier identity, addresses, dates, ports, values, quantities, weights, precise tariff codes, declaration numbers, bill-of-lading numbers, vessel or voyage, container or seal numbers, barcodes or QR codes. Signatures and identifying text or numbers inside stamps are removed or made unreadable; a non-identifying stamp outline or trace of ink may remain as an authenticity cue.

The operating promise

What the written plan covers.

Nothing below is assumed. Each item is included only when the written quotation expressly lists it for the named cargo and U.S. destination.

Review eight written-scope rowsCollection, packing, transport, import and final handoverOpen scope
01China collection and warehouse receipt
Written boundaryIncluded only when the quote names the suppliers, collection points, receiving checks and storage terms. The current Shenzhen rule gives the first 14 calendar days free; package opening and product-level QC remain separate.
02Visible packing review and agreed reinforcement
Written boundaryIncluded only when the quote states the visible packing checks, agreed criteria and any correction or reinforcement. Three inspection checkpoints are not automatic for every shipment.
03LCL, FCL and multi-supplier consolidation
Written boundaryIncluded only after the quote fixes the suppliers, ready dates, final packing, measured cargo and LCL or full-container consolidation scope.
04China export handling and international transport
Written boundaryIncluded only when the quote names the ocean or air mode, route scope and charges. Timing follows current shipment facts, not a universal transit promise.
05U.S. import responsibility, AD/CVD, duties and taxes
Written boundaryIncluded only when the quote identifies the importer, customs arrangement, duties, taxes and exclusions. The AD/CVD check remains preliminary, not a binding scope ruling or customs classification.
06Residential postcode, vehicle access and appointment
Written boundaryIncluded only after the quote confirms the postcode, vehicle access, parking or stopping limits, appointment and named accessible outdoor handover point.
07Liftgate, forklift, crane or unloading labour
Written boundaryNot included by default. The quote must identify the required equipment or labour and whether the customer or a named destination provider is responsible for arranging it.
08Inside delivery, stairs, assembly, installation and insurance
Written boundaryDestination handling requires separate written confirmation. Cargo insurance exists only if the customer purchases it and an independent policy is formally issued before departure; contractual transport liability is not full-value insurance.

International customers work through one responsible contact, WhatsApp updates and written PDF records. When payment coordination is included in the project, no separate agency fee is added, and bank and exchange costs are shown in writing.

Completed U.S. doors-and-windows project

How the packing problem was handled.

The pre-loading review and correction remain documented below. The same project later required a residential-access vehicle adjustment, with no additional charge to this customer for that adjustment. See the customer's September 18 receipt confirmation.

Phase 01Review before the cargo movesProducts, 40HQ fit and three agreed checkpoints
  1. Review the products and route conditions

    Door and window types, packed dimensions, weight, destination and service scope were reviewed before the final operating plan.

  2. Check 40HQ fit and loading direction

    The team compared the real packing orientation with container-door clearance, internal space and long-piece handling limits.

  3. Record three agreed checkpoints

    For an eligible project whose written scope includes them: before factory release, at warehouse receipt and before loading, followed by one combined written report.

Phase 02Find and correct the physical conflictFinal warehouse facts, then after-hours action
  1. Identify the packing conflict

    The final warehouse facts showed that an oversized door-and-window package could not enter in its original orientation.

  2. Correct the packing after hours

    The support structure was rebuilt so the package could be secured at an angle and returned to the loading plan.

Phase 03Put the commercial and customs scope in writingDDP cost boundaries and retained shipment records
  1. Issue the written DDP cost scope

    The quotation separated the relevant China-side, freight, import, tax, oversize, final-mile and unloading boundaries without publishing the customer's amounts.

  2. Retain export and carrier records

    Export declaration records and a carrier bill of lading are kept in the project file. Only tightly cropped, anonymized proof extracts appear publicly.

Your written transport agreement sets out responsibility and compensation limits for each stage. Contractual liability is not full-value cargo insurance. If needed, Buildcargo can introduce an independent cargo-insurance option for review and purchase before departure.

The U.S. import position

Reasonable landed cost—not aggressive declarations.

Before you book

Seven questions before booking.

Do you accept one-time shipments for private homeowners?

Yes. Buildcargo reviews eligible one-time building-material and furniture shipments for private homeowners. You do not need to be a retailer or regular importer. Cargo, destination, customs arrangement and unloading conditions must be confirmed before booking.

Can you combine a whole-house order from several Chinese suppliers?

Yes. Eligible doors, cabinets, lighting, bathroom products, furniture and other home materials can be collected from several Chinese suppliers and prepared as one shipment after supplier locations, ready dates, packing and U.S. delivery conditions are confirmed.

Does every U.S. shipment include three product-level inspections?

No. Three documented checkpoints are available for eligible Guangdong whole-home U.S. projects only when the written scope includes them. The agreed customer criteria and Buildcargo category-risk checklist define the inspection content, and the records are combined into one report.

Are DDP, duties and taxes automatically included?

No. Buildcargo can coordinate a written DDP and import plan for eligible cargo and destinations through its service channel and partners. Duties and taxes are included only when the quotation names them for that shipment.

Can the AD/CVD screen clear my product for import?

No. It is a preliminary risk screen only. Product scope can depend on material, construction, use, origin, processing, producer or exporter and current U.S. orders. A licensed customs broker or trade lawyer may still be required.

Will the driver unload or carry the furniture inside?

Not by default. The customer arranges suitable unloading equipment or labor. Carrying inside, stairs and installation require separate written confirmation.

Which shipping methods serve the United States?

Buildcargo presents ocean and air options for eligible U.S. shipments. Truck and rail references on this website apply to eligible China-Europe routes, not U.S. routes.
