First sea leg

Corridors from Shanghai start in the East China Sea. Alternative gateways such as Ningbo-Zhoushan, Taicang or another Yangtze River Delta gateway are used only when the written quote says so.

Each destination page shows the illustrated corridor, the named seas and passages on the way, and the import authority at the other end.
