About Xiamen

Xiamen is a deep-water port on the Taiwan Strait serving Fujian province, with naturally deep berths that need little dredging. It handles a substantial share of the cross-strait trade alongside deep-sea services to Europe. Its hinterland is smaller than the delta ports', so it is usually chosen for cargo genuinely originating in Fujian.

First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Xiamen — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 3139 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.
