Questions we are asked
What buyers across Southeast Asia ask before they order a machine.
Your route
Do you ship construction equipment to Indonesia?+
Yes, to Jakarta. It is a short run from Qingdao with frequent sailings, which keeps both the freight and the waiting time down.
Can you send machines to Malaysia?+
Yes, Port Klang is one of the easiest destinations we quote to, because it is one of the best connected ports in the world and services from China are constant.
Do you ship equipment to the Philippines?+
Yes, to Manila. Tell us which island your site is on as well, because that sometimes changes the sensible entry point and your onward transport cost.
Can you ship a machine to Vietnam or Thailand?+
Yes, to Ho Chi Minh City and Laem Chabang. Both are well served from Qingdao and both are straightforward ports for machinery.
Cost and machines
Is shipping from China to Southeast Asia expensive?+
It is among the cheapest lanes we handle, because the distance is short and the services are frequent. That makes the machine price the main part of your landed cost rather than the freight.
Which machines sell best in Southeast Asia?+
Tracked excavators for plantation and infrastructure work, wheel loaders for aggregate, and wheeled excavators for road and utility jobs on finished surfaces.
Should I buy a wheeled or tracked excavator for road work here?+
A wheeled machine, if the work follows the road. It moves itself between sites at road speed and does far less damage to finished surfaces than tracks will.
Can you quote a landed price to my port in Southeast Asia?+
We can give you the machine and the sea freight as one figure. Duty and port charges at your end come from your own clearing agent.
Practical matters
How quickly can a machine reach Southeast Asia from China?+
This is one of the faster lanes, though the exact timing depends on the sailing you catch. Give us the port and we will confirm what is running.
Are used machines restricted for import in this region?+
Some countries apply age limits or inspection requirements to used equipment, and they change. Your clearing agent will know the current position and it is worth asking before you commit.
Can I combine machines in one shipment to Southeast Asia?+
Yes, and it is usually worth doing. One shipment means one set of documents, one clearance and a lower freight cost per machine.
Do you arrange the loading at the Chinese end?+
Yes. Inland transport to the port, loading and securing are all handled by us, and you take over at your own port.
