Shipping Baby Powder from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Zhezkazgan Port, Kazakhstan
Destination Port: Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan
Zhezkazgan is a city located in central Kazakhstan, known for its significant industrial and mining activities, particularly in the copper industry. Although it does not have direct access to the sea, Zhezkazgan’s goods typically arrive via sea ports and are then transported inland by rail or road. For goods arriving from China, the most likely route would involve a sea shipment to a major port such as Aktau or Atyrau, followed by inland transportation to Zhezkazgan.
Given its geographical position, Zhezkazgan relies on extensive overland logistics to receive sea-freighted goods. Although the city is not a major international shipping hub, its proximity to Kazakhstan’s key industrial regions makes it a strategic location for goods distribution.
Shipping Options
Full Container Load (FCL): Shipping in FCL means the entire 20-foot or 40-foot container is reserved for one shipment. This method provides a secure and efficient way to transport large quantities of baby powder directly to the port. The CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) shipping term implies that the cost of the goods, freight charges, and insurance during transit are included up to the destination port.
Less than Container Load (LCL): For smaller shipments, LCL is an effective solution. With LCL, baby powder can be consolidated with other goods in a shared container. The container is filled with multiple shipments, and the cost is divided among the various shippers. The sea journey for LCL from Guangzhou or Shenzhen to Kazakhstan typically takes about 49 days, depending on port congestion and customs procedures.
Shipping Transit
The journey from Guangzhou or Shenzhen to Kazakhstan is a lengthy one. Shipping via sea to a port like Aktau or Atyrau, followed by inland transport, typically takes around 49 days. This includes the time spent in customs clearance and transshipment handling. The CIF terms ensure that the buyer only needs to arrange for local inland delivery after the goods arrive at the destination port.
