High-volume shipping can benefit from cost-efficiency and safety offered in this method. By sealing the container at the origin and maintaining it until it reaches its destination, FCL ensures the safe transit of goods minimizing potential damage risks.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Suppose an electronics manufacturer in the US needs to send 16 CBM of machinery to a factory in China. Here, using an FCL container would be the most cost-effective option because of the cargo volume. Plus, the company would get the assurance that their machinery remains secured within a sealed container during transit, reducing risk.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> FCL shipping quotes are typically less per unit as compared to LCL when dealing with large volume shipments. Even though higher initial outlay for a whole container might seem daunting, cost savings by unit when moving large volumes play a vital role in shaping the economics of FCL.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-57ceaede\" data-id=\"57ceaede\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66eeb2d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66eeb2d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/LCL-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"Less than Container Load\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb0e1d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"fb0e1d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <h4 class=\"sec-title style2\">Less container load (LCL)<\/h4>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\"><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>LCL<\/strong><\/span>, or <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>Less than Container Load<\/strong><\/span>, refers to shipments that are too small to fill up a full shipping container. These are consolidated with other goods into a single container, and you only pay for the volume your cargo takes up.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> LCL is a preferred method if your freight volume is low, typically less than 13-15 Cubic Meter (CBM). It offers flexibility as it runs on a regular schedule and doesn't require you to pay for unused container space.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Suppose you're a US-based toy manufacturer shipping 10 CBM of plush toys to a retailer in China. By choosing LCL shipment, you can ride along with other shippers' goods, without waiting till you have enough volume for a full container. This enables both timely delivery and cost effectiveness.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> With LCL freight, the costs are proportional to the volume of the cargo. While it might be more per unit than a Full Container Load, it's typically more cost-effective for smaller shipments because you're not paying for unused space. However, keep in mind that LCL may incur extra charges, like the LCL handling fee, due to the need for deconsolidation at the destination port.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4ed788 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4ed788\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62d01f24\" data-id=\"62d01f24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c7bea elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"789c7bea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Hassle-free shipping<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">Struggling with the choice between consolidation and a full container for your US-China shipping?

This is perfect for Out of Gauge cargo exceeding the standard measurements. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Suitable for:<\/strong> Businesses that need to ship large, irregularly shaped, or oversized goods that won&#8217;t fit in typical containers. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Examples:<\/strong> Heavy machinery, construction equipment, oversized industrial parts could make good use of OOG containers. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Why it might be the best choice for you:<\/strong> Should your operation require moving extra-tall, wide, or long cargo, such as parts of wind turbines or aircraft wings, the flexibility of OOG containers can ensure your cargo reaches China without the need to dismantle and reconstruct it upon arrival. <\/p><br><h4>Break Bulk<\/h4><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Definition:<\/strong> Break bulk pertains to goods that must be loaded individually rather than in containers. These can include goods of various sizes and shapes, making it a preferred choice when handling loose cargo load.<\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Suitable for:<\/strong> Shipment of items that are too large or heavy for containers. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Examples:<\/strong> Examples could be windmills, yachts, turbines or construction equipment. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Why it might be the best choice for you:<\/strong> If your US business frequently deals with high-volume or heavy-weight commodities that aren&#8217;t container-friendly, opting for break bulk shipping to China could streamline your supply chain process. <\/p><br><h4>Dry Bulk<\/h4><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Definition:<\/strong> Dry bulk refers to shipping loose, dry materials without packaging, often piled up and directly placed in the ship&#8217;s hold.<\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Suitable for:<\/strong> Businesses working with large quantities of unpackaged goods such as commodities. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Examples:<\/strong> This could include shipping non-perishable commodities like grain, coal, or iron ore. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Why it might be the best choice for you:<\/strong> Should you be in the agriculture, construction, or mining sectors where high volumes of raw goods need to be transported from the US to China, dry bulk shipping can offer an efficient solution.<\/p><br><h4>Roll-on\/Roll-off (Ro-Ro)<\/h4><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Definition:<\/strong> Roll-on\/Roll-off, or ro-ro vessel, is a shipping method utilized for cargo that rolls on and off the vessel without the need for cranes or forklifts. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Suitable for:<\/strong> Ideal for shipping vehicles or heavy machinery that can move or be moved with wheels. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Examples:<\/strong> Cars, buses, trucks, farming machinery, or even trailer-based cargo could be rolled on and off these ro-ro vessels. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Why it might be the best choice for you:<\/strong> If your business deals with vehicles or cargo that can be driven, ro-ro could make the shipping process seamless and efficient from the US to China. <\/p><br><h4>Reefer Containers<\/h4><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Definition:<\/strong> Reefer containers are refrigerated shipping containers used to transport temperature-sensitive cargo. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Suitable for:<\/strong> Businesses dealing with perishable goods requiring specific temperature ranges. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Examples:<\/strong> Certain pharmaceuticals, fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy products would be ideal for reefer containers. <\/p><br><p><strong style='color:#0E465F'>Why it might be the best choice for you:<\/strong> If your company is part of the food industry or pharmaceutical sector in the US, sending goods to China via reefer containers could maintain their optimal quality and freshness throughout the journey. <\/p><br><p>If you&#8217;re unsure which shipping method suits your needs, DocShipper is ready to steer you on the right path!

On the other hand, volumetric weight, also known as dimensional weight, takes into account the space a package occupies, not just its actual weight.<\/p><br><p>To calculate the gross weight in air cargo, pack your shipment and simply put it on a scale. The result in kilograms is your gross weight. For instance, if your package weighs 15 kg, it will be 33.07 lbs.<\/p><br><p>Calculating volumetric weight is a bit different. For air cargo, the formula is length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) \/ 6000<strong>. If your package is 50cm x 30cm x 20cm = 30,000cm\u00b3. Divide by 6000, it\u2019s volumetric weight is 5 kg or 11.02 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Express air freight services use a similar idea with a different divisor: length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) \/ 5000. For the same package dimensions, the volumetric weight becomes 6kg or 13.23 lbs in express air freight service.<\/p><br><p>Understanding these weights is crucial as your air freight charge will be based on the higher value between the gross and volumetric weight. This means even if your item is light, if it takes up a lot of space, you might end up paying more. Shipping companies do this to maximize efficiency and profitability in their loads.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-72ea74ce elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"72ea74ce\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-716fb871\" data-id=\"716fb871\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1282f48d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1282f48d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/gross-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-258d6a01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"258d6a01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/volumetric-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cf1b677 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6cf1b677\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"door-to-door\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"door-to-door-dg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e503b7b9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e503b7b9\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe690a2a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fe690a2a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h2>Door to door between US and China<\/h2><br><p><a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/en\/door-to-door-shipping-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Door to Door shipping<\/strong> <\/a>keeps things simple.

To get started, you need to consider several factors: the country of origin, defined by where your products were actually manufactured or produced; the Harmonized System (HS) Code, which classifies your goods on a global stage; the Customs Value of your goods, calculated by detailed methods laid out by the World Trade Organization; and the corresponding tariff rate. <\/p><br><p>Additionally, you always need to keep an eye out for other taxes and fees, including Value Added Tax (VAT), consumption tax or additional duties that might be specific to those goods in China. Once you have all of this information, you&#8217;re ready to start working out those duties and taxes.<\/p><br><p>The first step on this journey is identifying the true country of origin for your goods &#8211; the place they were manufactured or produced, which has significant implications for the import process and sets the stage for everything that follows.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3538bdd7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3538bdd7\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41ebf191 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"41ebf191\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 1 &#8211; Identify the Country of Origin<\/h3><br><p>Getting the product&#8217;s &#8216;<strong>Country of Origin<\/strong>&#8216; right is your crucial starting point, acting like the compass to your cargo&#8217;s entire journey. Here&#8217;s why:<\/p><br><p>1. Specific trade agreements come into play. US-China operational trade agreements alter customs duties, making an in-depth understanding essential.<br \/><br>2. Import restrictions vary. Navigate through them seamlessly by knowing your product&#8217;s originating country.<br \/><br>3. Accurate documentation is a must. The &#8216;Country of Origin&#8217; label drives paperwork accuracy to ward off unnecessary customs hassles.<br \/><br>4. Duty rates depend on it. With it, calculate prospective costs in the blink of an eye.<br \/><br>5. It factors in preferential treatments. Certain special facilities become accessible, based on the country the goods originate from.<\/p><br><p>Stay informed about US-China trade pacts and altered customs duties. Dealing with China, anticipate changes with open arms due to ongoing US &#8211; China trade situations. Don&#8217;t shy away from consulting a customs broker to stay one step ahead of the import restrictions wave. A clear, accurate &#8216;Country of Origin&#8217; declaration ensures a smooth, time-efficient, and cost-effective journey for your cargo from the US to China.

You&#8217;re not alone&#8211;and it&#8217;s vital to differentiate them. The customs value covers more than just the price of your goods. It&#8217;s a blend of the cost of the goods, international shipping charges, and insurance amount, fondly labeled as the CIF Value. For example, <strong>if your goods cost $1000, shipping tags at an extra $200, and insurance comes in at $50, your customs value isn&#8217;t $1000 &#8211; it&#8217;s $1250! This jump can significantly alter your customs duty amount, so calculating the correct customs value is step one in dodging unwanted surprises<\/strong>. Remember, every penny counts in global shipping, so get your numbers right from the start!<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d57228ba e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d57228ba\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ccd03cb8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ccd03cb8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 4 &#8211; Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3><br><p>An<strong> import tariff <\/strong>is essentially a tax imposed by a country on goods imported from another country. It may vary depending on the classification of the item under the Harmonized System (HS) and the applicable policy in China. To determine the tariff rate, here\u2019s a simple guide:<\/p><br><p>1. Visit the &#8216;China Import and Export Duty Calculator&#8217; (gathered through reputable online research).<br \/><br>2. Input the HS code you&#8217;ve identified earlier and the country of origin &#8211; in this case, the United States.<br \/><br>3. The tool will provide the duties and taxes applied to your product.<\/p><br><p><strong>Let&#8217;s take an example. Assume you&#8217;re importing coffee makers (HS Code &#8211; 851671) from the U.S. to China. The tool will display an import tariff rate of, for example, 10%. If your CIF (Cost of Goods + Insurance + Freight) equals to $1000, you&#8217;d calculate the import duty as follows: $1000 (CIF) x 10% (tariff rate) = $100 duty.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Remember, changing market conditions can affect these rates and what may be the rate today could fluctuate tomorrow. Always double-check on the current rate by again inputting your product\u2019s HS code just before shipping.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad62fb26 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ad62fb26\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8376877f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8376877f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><br><p>While the standard tariff rate is your primary concern in importing goods into China from the United States, don&#8217;t overlook other import duties and taxes that may apply. Depending on both your product&#8217;s origin and nature, you may encounter additional charges such as excise duty, anti-dumping taxes, and most importantly, the Value-Added Tax (VAT).<\/p><br><p><strong>For example, assume you&#8217;re importing designer shoes. The standard tariff might be 10%, but then there could be an excise duty of 15% \u2013 a levy commonly applied to luxury goods. Additionally, if your product is subject to anti-dumping laws, you could face a tax of up to 25%. Notably, VAT is a big one, usually around 17% in China.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Working it out, if your shoes are valued at $100; you&#8217;ll pay $10 in tariffs, $15 in excise duty, a possible $25 anti-dumping tax, and $17 in VAT. So, your payable import tasks totaling $67, raising your product cost to $167.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>This is a simplified example, and actual rates may vary, but it underscores the need for a thorough understanding of potentially applicable duties and taxes. Understanding these added costs can empower a smoother customs clearance process and advanced budget allocations.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba98bc96 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ba98bc96\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2860b101 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2860b101\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><p>Step 6 dives into the calculation of Customs Duties, a fundamental aspect of importing goods from the US to China. The calculation typically involves customs value, VAT, and potential anti-dumping taxes. You need to be aware of these aspects when planning your shipment.<\/p><br><p><strong>Firstly, let&#8217;s consider an instance where only customs duties apply. If you&#8217;re importing electronic devices with a customs value of $10,000 and the duty rate is 10%, your customs duties come up to $1,000.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Next, imagine importing textiles at a customs value of $15,000 with a customs duty rate of 10% and a VAT rate of 15%. Your total payable is the sum of customs duties ($1,500) and VAT ($2,250) amounting to $3,750.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Lastly, importing steel under anti-dumping laws becomes a little complex. With a customs value of $20,000, a duty rate of 10%, anti-dumping taxes at 5%, and Excise Duty of $200, the total payable is the sum of customs duties ($2,000), VAT ($3,000), the anti-dumping tax ($1,000) and Excise Duty ($200), adding up to $6,200.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>These calculations can get intricate with various factors coming into play.

Your cargo&#8217;s passport, the B\/L, not only confirms shipment details but sets the wheels in motion for ownership transition. Picture yourself, relieved as paperwork headaches lessen with a &#8216;telex&#8217; or electronic release. Fast, simple, and efficient &#8211; it&#8217;s the future.

Your Packing List is your compass. A key requirement for both sea and air freight, it precisely inventories the contents of your shipments. Think of it as an open book about your cargo, listing everything from quantity, description, to the type of packaging used. Imagine you&#8217;re sending machinery parts: your <strong>Packing List<\/strong> should detail each nut, bolt, and washer. Why so finicky? Customs. This document helps them ascertain if the cargo matches your declaration and if duties are rightly computed.

Misaligned or incomplete information can lead to delays or penalties, so double-check with your freight forwarder about requirements. For instance, if you&#8217;re shipping auto parts from Detroit to Shanghai, ensure the HS code, product description, and value are consistent across all your shipping documents.

Back in 1979, formal relations were established, pioneering strides in numerous sectors like manufacturing, technology, and agriculture. The relationship matured with China&#8217;s WTO entry in 2001, significantly improving market access. However, the recent decade unfolded disputes, giving rise to tariffs and volatility. Despite this, cross-border investments have been pinpointed at nearly $150 billion from China to the US over the past 15 years. <strong>Similarly, the US invested about $120 billion in China. Furthermore, the two juggernauts traded goods worth approximately $670 billion in 2024<\/strong>, with top commodities including machinery, electrical machinery, and furniture. Although current trends indicate a slight dip, the prospect of trade resolution could serve as a boon for both economies. Remember, it&#8217;s vital to read the trade winds accurately in such dynamic relationships.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-4c67ee8e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4c67ee8e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-612237e3\" data-id=\"612237e3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b767bf7 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6b767bf7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Your first steps with DocShipper<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a2f0090 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1a2f0090\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShipping internationally, especially between the US and China, can be daunting.
