When shipping from Shunde, China to Prince Rupert, Canada, prepare for significant delays due to seasonal factors. Build in additional buffer days during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Southwest Monsoon (May-November) to account for port congestion and weather disruptions. Book vessel space well in advance of the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February) to avoid rollovers. Additionally, expect increased transit times during the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) and North Pacific Winter Storms (November-March), necessitating flexible routing options.

Most clothing can move in dry vans or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are protected from moisture. For Fabric rolls, most carriers recommend palletized or racked loading to prevent edge damage, and in humid lanes, adding Container desiccants is advisable.
High-value designer clothing benefit from reduced touchpoints, barcoded labels, and use of cages to avoid creasing. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid Sharp hooks, and not to Over-stack lightweight Clothing cartons.
Yes. Many countries require proper customs coding and clear material composition, plus manufacturing origin on documents for clothing & textiles. Some trade agreements and quota systems still affect certain fabric categories, so review local regulations before exporting large volumes.
Insuring garments is strongly recommended, especially for designer items or large wholesale orders. Cargo insurance can cover water damage and relies on accurate packing lists to validate claims, so always keep detailed records of what fabric were shipped and their declared value.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with Canadian regulations for textiles.
Seasonal considerations may include increased shipping volumes during peak retail seasons, which can affect capacity and availability of space on vessels, as well as potential weather-related delays during winter months.
