Shipping & Container Loading

How SAIMA electric scooters get from our Hebei plant to your warehouse — loading quantities, loading method, typical transit times and Incoterms.

Container planning

How Many Units Fit in a 40HQ?

Loading quantity depends on model size. Lightweight 350W models pack far more efficiently than 1000W+ models.

Model classPer 40HQ containerExample models
350W lightweight (28–38 kg)209–241 unitsSAIMA-19 Lucky Cat, SAIMA-28 Bubble Gum
500W mid-range (38–54 kg)195–209 unitsSAIMA-11 Star Diamond, SAIMA-26 Calorie
1000W (55–63 kg)96–195 unitsSAIMA-01 U2, SAIMA-34 Flame
1500W electric motorcycle (72 kg)85 unitsSAIMA-31 Big Harley

Exact unit counts are listed on every product page under Container load. Loading is done partly assembled to reduce volume — handlebars, mirrors, pedals and front wheels are packed separately for on-site fitting.

Mixed-model containers

You do not have to order one model per container. Most first-time importers order 3–5 models mixed in a single 40HQ to test which sells best. We supply a packing list per model and label each carton clearly so your warehouse can separate them on arrival.

LCL and sample shipments

For trial orders we can ship 1–5 units by air freight or LCL (less than container load), normally 7–15 days. Air freight is expensive per unit but lets you inspect quality before committing to a container.

Transit times

Incoterms we work with

  • FOB (default) — we deliver to the Chinese port, you control the freight. Best if you have your own forwarder.
  • CIF — we arrange freight and insurance to your destination port.
  • DDP — door-to-door with duties paid, for buyers who want a landed cost with no customs involvement. Available on selected lanes; ask for a quote.

Documents we provide

Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin (CO / Form A / Form E as applicable), and product test reports. Tell us what your customs authority requires and we prepare it before shipment.

Import duty tip: electric two-wheelers attract very different duty rates by country, and some markets require homologation or a type-approval certificate. Ask us early and we will flag anything your market needs before you order. 不同国家关税和认证要求差异很大,建议下单前先咨询我们。
