This case study details the logistics and transport process for a shipment of outdoor tents from Dalian, China, to Salt Lake City, USA. Outdoor tents, widely used for camping, events, and recreational activities, are in high demand across the U.S. market. Given the product’s bulky nature and the need for moisture-resistant and stable packaging, we chose a 40-foot high cube (40HQ) container to maximize storage capacity and ensure secure transport.
The journey from Dalian to Salt Lake City included multiple phases, from meticulous packaging and customs clearance to safe sea transit and inland delivery. By selecting sea freight, the client benefited from an economical solution suitable for large shipments, with each tent securely packed to protect against environmental factors and potential shifting during transport.
