Shenzhen is the main export gateway for the electronics and battery manufacturing belt on the east bank of the Pearl River Delta. Container exports leave mainly through the Yantian port area in the east and the Shekou and Mawan port areas in the west.

Some cargo reaches the Shenzhen port areas by Pearl River Delta barge rather than by truck; that is confirmed per shipment.

Questions

Shenzhen → Novorossiysk: three common questions

Usually Yantian, Shekou or Mawan, depending on the carrier and booking. The three options are door pickup (factory or warehouse pickup across Shenzhen, Dongguan and Huizhou), 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 Novorossiysk (44.72°N, 37.78°E). 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.
