Questions
Tianjin → Port Moresby: three common questions
Usually the Beijiang or Dongjiang port area of Tianjin Xingang, depending on the carrier and booking. The three options are door pickup (trucking from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei factories, plus rail-sea legs from inland north China), 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 Port Moresby (9.47°S, 147.13°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.
