Shipping to Changshu
Changshu is a manufacturing city in Jiangsu Province, part of Suzhou, on the south bank of the Yangtze. Its river port handles cargo for the textile, paper, chemical and automotive companies in the area.
Practical tips. Changshu is a good destination for factories in Changshu, Zhangjiagang and Taicang that want to avoid trucking from Shanghai. Most shipments are commercial; the importer needs China Customs registration and the goods must match the invoice and packing list exactly.
Changshu is about 100 km north-west of Shanghai and well connected by expressways, so a factory in the area can choose between collecting at the Changshu port or trucking from Shanghai. Several Canadian and European companies run plants in the Changshu Economic and Technological Development Zone. Ask the consignee's logistics team which option is cheaper overall before booking.
