Most shipments from Yiwu leave through Ningbo or Shanghai ports. Both are within easy reach of the city’s manufacturing clusters, which keeps inland transport short and predictable.

Documents
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificates of origin are standard. Certification documents for power tools and other regulated products can be arranged with the factory.
Consolidation
Buying several product categories in one container is common for importers who source from multiple clusters. Consolidation saves freight and simplifies customs paperwork.
