Ports and transit
We ship FOB Tianjin as the default, with Qingdao available. Typical transit is 18–24 days to Jebel Ali, 22–28 days to Dammam, and 20–26 days to Doha or Shuwaikh, depending on the service and transhipment.
Incoterms
- FOB Tianjin — you control freight and insurance. Best if you have your own contract rates.
- CIF Jebel Ali / Dammam / Doha — we include freight and insurance to your port. Import duty, port handling and inland delivery remain yours.
- DDP — everything to your gate, including clearance. Available on request where we have a reliable broker at the destination.

Utilisation is the quiet variable in landed cost. Two suppliers quoting the same unit price but different container counts are not quoting the same price per metre.
Packing
Panels are stacked on heat-treated fumigated pallets, separated by corrugated board, banded with four steel straps and shrink-wrapped. Posts and fixings travel in woven bags within the same pallet footprint. Each pallet carries a weatherproof marker with SKU, height, coating batch and container position.
Document set
Commercial invoice, packing list with weights and pallet count, certificate of origin attested by the chamber of commerce, bill of lading, SABER / SASO certificates where applicable, and material certificates where the specification requires them.
