New China‑to‑India shipping site

A China-to-India logistics platform has launched a new website built around door-to-door shipping, customs handling and real-time tracking for Indian buyers sourcing from Chinese factories. (x.com) The site says it offers air freight in 3 to 7 days, sea freight, pickup from suppliers in cities including Guangzhou, Yiwu and Shenzhen, and delivery across India after customs clearance. It also advertises “real-time tracking,” a feature many smaller importers still have to piece together across freight forwarders, warehouses and brokers. (chinatoindiashipping.com) That pitch lands in a corridor that is already large and still growing. India imported $126.96 billion of goods from China in 2024, led by electronics, machinery and chemicals, according to trade data compiled from United Nations Comtrade. (tradingeconomics.com) The business problem is simple: many India-bound shipments from China still move through fragmented chains of factories, consolidators, customs agents and last-mile carriers. Logistics firms have responded by selling “door-to-door” service, where one provider manages pickup, freight, customs paperwork and final delivery under one quote. (dhl.com) (alibaba.com) Shipping lines have also been adding capacity on the route. In July 2025, logistics company 20Cube said carriers including CULines, Sinotrans and SITC were launching weekly services linking Chinese ports such as Qingdao, Shanghai and Ningbo with Indian gateways including Nhava Sheva and Mundra. (20cube.com) The timing also reflects a wider sourcing shift in India. Buyers that once relied on trading agents or informal WhatsApp networks now have more freight-tech storefronts offering quotes, shipment milestones and landed-cost visibility on a single page. (alibaba.com) (shipmatic.in) That change is happening even as India has kept tighter scrutiny on China-linked business activity since 2020. New Delhi required government approval for investment from countries sharing a land border with India under Press Note 3, and it separately blocked dozens of Chinese apps in 2020 on security grounds. (pib.gov.in 1) (pib.gov.in 2) Trade, though, has kept moving. India’s bilateral goods trade with China reached $118.4 billion in fiscal 2024, and more recent reporting has shown the deficit widening further as imports of electronics parts, machinery and consumer goods continued to rise. (indbiz.gov.in) (economictimes.indiatimes.com) For importers, the new site is less a change in trade policy than a sign of how the corridor is being packaged. The selling point is not a new route between China and India, but a cleaner interface for a route that has become too big for manual tracking and ad hoc coordination.
