About Guangzhou
Guangzhou's container operation is concentrated at Nansha, downriver from the city on the Pearl River estuary, and serves the western side of the delta — a different catchment from Shenzhen on the eastern bank. For cargo bound for Foshan, Zhongshan or the western manufacturing belt it removes a long road crossing. Terminal choice matters here more than in most Chinese ports.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Guangzhou — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 30–38 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider China lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
