Door-to-Door Shipping from China to India: Everything You Need to Know

Introduction

If you’re tired of dealing with multiple agents, complicated customs processes, and unexpected costs while importing from China — you’re not alone.

That’s why more and more Indian importers are switching to door-to-door (D2D) logistics, where one expert partner handles everything:
📦 Supplier pickup → ✈️/🚢 Shipping → 🛃 Customs → 🚚 Final delivery in India.

In this guide, we’ll explain how door-to-door shipping works and why it’s the smartest way to import from China to India in 2025.


🚪 What Is Door-to-Door Shipping?

Door-to-door logistics means your shipment is picked up from your supplier’s location in China and delivered all the way to your final address in Indiawithout you lifting a finger.

It’s the most convenient, reliable, and transparent way to import goods internationally.


🧩 What’s Included in Door-to-Door Shipping?

At SureLink Logistics, our D2D service includes:

✅ Pickup from your China supplier (factory, warehouse, or market)
✅ Warehousing & consolidation (if needed)
✅ Export clearance in China
✅ Freight — Air or Sea shipping
✅ Import customs clearance in India
✅ GST, duty handling & documentation
✅ Final delivery to your address (home, warehouse, or fulfillment center)

All under a single quote, one invoice, and one point of contact.


✈️🚢 Available via Air & Sea

You can choose D2D service via:

  • Air Freight – For urgent, smaller shipments (3–7 days)
  • Sea Freight (LCL or FCL) – For bulk, cost-effective cargo (15–35 days)

We’ll recommend the best option based on your cargo volume, urgency, and budget.


🔍 Who Should Use Door-to-Door Logistics?

First-time importers (avoid customs headaches)
E-commerce sellers (fast deliveries, simplified process)
Traders & wholesalers (cost control, zero coordination)
Small & medium businesses (no in-house logistics team)
