China Importing and Exporting

China and India are two of New Zealand’s largest producers of imported products. New Zealand’s largest trading partner is now China. Since 2008 when the free trade agreement was signed, two-way trade (exports and imports of goods and services) has more than tripled from $9 billion to over $32 billion.

Fully equipped to meet the demands of the freight forwarding industry, Sneddens is now playing a crucial role in the continuity and development of this trade lane for China international shipping. Our regular import and export movements to China include less than container loads (LCL) and full container loads (FCL).

If you’re looking to import from China, look no further than Sneddens. With a long list of agents serving each port in China, we cater to all modes of inland travel, including barge, truck, and rail.

India Importing and Exporting

India is rapidly becoming a global economic giant. India has one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the world. Due to its rapid population growth and economic development, India is an attractive market for New Zealand exports.

In order to benefit from this growing trade relationship, you will need the expertise of a freight forwarder like Sneddens. Wether you’re looking to export to India or import from India, we have a cost-effective network of transporters that allows trade with India to be smooth and rewarding.

Our freight rates are the best in the market, and together with our experienced partners, we offer professional and innovative sea freight and air freight services. Our services reach and actively engage the market as far inland in Asia as Pakistan.

Quality Control Services

Quality Control Services are Provided to Protect your Investment

The main concern when importing goods is that they are shipped in good condition, at the correct quantity, are packaged properly, and make it onto the truck safely. We make sure that happens.

Sneddens has agents on the ground in China and India that can inspect your goods before they depart. Any items requiring compliance testing to meet NZ standards and custom requirements are checked before payment is released.

Our agents quality control all types of products. Whenever we need special testing, such as steel grade testing and food chemical testing, we bring in a third-party inspection service with lab testing and onsite capabilities.
