What this origin is on this lane
Quanzhou is a manufacturing centre in southern Fujian with steady shipments of footwear and apparel, stone, building materials and sanitaryware. It sits close to Xiamen, so consolidating to Haicang or Dongdu is the routine route: a short inland leg and dense sailings, suited to steady replenishment and large project volumes.
How cargo from this city actually moves
The road leg from Quanzhou to Xiamen is short, so a fixed weekly rhythm works. Stone and building materials are heavy per piece and bulky, so payload and stowage must be calculated at stuffing; footwear and apparel are small but numerous, so they are listed piece by piece. After arrival, clearance follows the destination port, and descriptions and counts must match the goods.
Transit reference (from the parent lane table)
| Indonesian destination | Load terminal |
|---|---|
| Semarang | Haicang / Dongdu · 9–16 days |
| Surabaya | Haicang / Dongdu · 10–18 days |
| Jakarta | Haicang / Dongdu · 6–10 days |
What this city typically ships
- Sports footwear and apparel
- Stone and slabs
- Building materials and sanitaryware
- Packaging products and accessories
Three things to settle when booking
- Stow stone against the payload limit: heavy per piece and bulky, so calculate payload before volume when stuffing.
- List footwear and apparel piece by piece: with high counts, a single total is the most likely to fail the clearance check.
- Phase project cargo: schedule large volumes in batches against site progress rather than holding them at the load port for one full shipment.
Lines to fix in the quotation
- Line up FORM E and HS codes first; preferential duty is passed through at prevailing rates
- Quote ocean and inland legs separately, inland passed through at the prevailing rate
- Work cut-off and gate opening backwards from the sailing; hold the release note before the deadline
Frequently asked, standard answers
How many free days are granted for container use?
7 days from discharge by default (extension to 14 days can be requested).
How much is 20GP demurrage per day?
IDR 400,000–1,050,000 per day after free time (escalating bands, ≈USD 22–58).
How much is 40HQ demurrage per day?
IDR 700,000–1,575,000 per day after free time (escalating bands, ≈USD 39–88).
Which Xiamen terminal does Quanzhou cargo use?
Both Haicang and Dongdu are possible, chosen on current sailings and cargo type. We quote both and you choose against the delivery date.
What should be watched when stuffing stone?
Calculate payload before volume: heavy per piece and bulky, uneven stowage breaches the limit, and paying the difference on arrival costs more than checking first.
What is the cheapest way to schedule large volumes?
Phase them against site progress. Aligning arrivals with the current rotation beats holding cargo at the load port for one full shipment.
