What we do

Two halves of one supply chain.

Most freight forwarders stop at the port and most sourcing agents stop at the factory gate. inntol runs the whole line — from choosing a factory in China to landing the box at your door.

Sourcing in China

Find it. Verify it. Buy it right.

Procurement with eyes on the ground, so you buy from factories that actually exist and actually deliver.

  • 01

    Product & factory search

    We map verified manufacturers for your spec, compare quotes and shortlist the best fit — not the loudest seller.

  • 02

    On-site factory inspection

    Our team visits the floor: capacity, certifications, working conditions and real output before a cent is committed.

  • 03

    Samples & negotiation

    Sample handling, spec sign-off and price negotiation in your interest — terms, MOQs and lead times in writing.

  • 04

    Purchase, QC & export

    We place the order, run pre-shipment quality control and prepare every export document for a clean departure.

Logistics & freight

Move it by sea, anywhere it needs to go.

Ocean-first logistics built around China's main ports, reaching across the Indian Ocean and beyond through our carrier network.

  • 01

    Ocean freight — our core

    Sea FCL and LCL from South & East China hubs, with consolidation so partial loads still ship economically.

  • 02

    Inland & road haulage

    Factory-to-port trucking and cross-border road freight feeding the right vessel at the right window.

  • 03

    Customs & documentation

    Export clearance, HS coding, certificates of origin and the paperwork that keeps cargo moving, not waiting.

  • 04

    Delivery across regions

    Discharge and onward delivery to Southeast Asia, India, the Gulf, East Africa and Europe through our partner network.

Answers

Frequently asked questions.

How long does ocean freight from China take?

Indicative sea transit from South and East China ports: Southeast Asia 4–12 days, India 14–22, the Gulf 18–24, East Africa 24–34, Europe 30–42. Exact timing depends on the port pair, sailing schedule and whether you ship FCL or LCL.

What's the difference between FCL and LCL, and which do I need?

FCL means you book a full container (about 28 CBM in a 20ft, 58–68 CBM in a 40ft/40HC). LCL means your cargo shares a container with other shippers, so you pay only for the volume you use. Below roughly 15 CBM, LCL consolidation is usually cheaper; above that, a full container is more economical.

How do you verify a Chinese factory before I pay?

Our team inspects the factory on the ground — capacity, certifications, working conditions and real output — before any payment is committed. We also handle samples, spec sign-off and pre-shipment quality control, so you buy from manufacturers that actually exist and actually deliver.

Does inntol handle both sourcing and shipping, or only freight?

Both, on one invoice. We find and verify the factory, negotiate and purchase on your behalf, run quality control, prepare export documents and move the cargo by sea — one accountable team from the factory floor to your door.

Can you ship small quantities or only full containers?

Both. For partial loads we consolidate your cargo with other shipments (LCL) so small volumes still ship economically; for larger orders we book full containers (FCL).

How is product quality protected before shipment?

Before goods leave the factory we run pre-shipment quality control against your agreed specification, and all terms, MOQs and lead times are confirmed in writing — so you commit to a shipment that has actually been checked, not a promise.

Which regions do you ship to from China?

From sourcing and consolidation hubs in China we deliver by sea to Southeast Asia, India, the Gulf, East Africa and Europe, through our ocean-carrier and forwarding-partner network. If your destination isn't listed, just ask — coverage is expanding.

How do I get a quote, and how fast?

Send what you're sourcing or shipping with rough volume and destination. We reply within one business day with a firm, itemised quote — sourcing and freight on a single invoice, every figure confirmed with the carrier and factory.
