Questions

Ningbo → Turbo: three common questions

Usually Beilun, Meishan or Chuanshan, depending on the carrier and booking. The three options are door pickup (trucking from Zhejiang factories and warehouses, with sea-rail options from inland Zhejiang), delivery to a warehouse or CFS that handles battery cargo, or delivery to the terminal gate; the quote states which one applies.

Only when the booking and bill of lading name Turbo (8.08°N, 76.73°W). A city or country name in an enquiry is not proof of discharge; after the port, customs release and delivery to an address are separate steps.

Start with the cargo description, battery configuration, condition statement, UN 38.3 test summary and SDS. The checklist on this page lists the rest.
