Commercial Food Equipment Shipping Guide
Newin Machinery supplies commercial food processing equipment to distributors, restaurants, catering businesses and food processing companies in international markets. With more than 13 years of company experience since 2013, we understand that machinery shipping requires more than simply arranging a carrier.
Our shipping arrangements take into account machine size, weight, destination, order quantity and the delivery requirements of each project. We can work with our shipping partners or your own freight forwarder, depending on the order and agreed shipping terms.
For an overseas order, contact our team for a shipping quote. We can check the available shipping options and provide the freight information together with your equipment quotation.
Quick Summary: Shipping time depends on the machine, order quantity, destination and transportation method. Small equipment may be suitable for air courier or air cargo, while larger orders are normally arranged by sea freight. Production and shipping schedules are confirmed for each order.
