About Tianjin
Tianjin is the port for Beijing and the Bohai Rim, roughly 150km from the capital, and is the natural gateway for anything destined for northern China's political and industrial centre. The Bohai Gulf freezes at the margins in deep winter, and while sailings continue, ice conditions can add time. Inland rail and road links to Beijing and Hebei are well developed.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Tianjin — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 34–42 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.
