Official lookup entry points for RMB exchange rates, tariffs, seaports, air cargo, rail freight and couriers.

Official lookup categories

  • Tariffs & customs — Find China-side tariff lines, indicative rates, declaration services and business customs entry points; destination import taxes still require the destination authority.
  • Seaports & ocean — Port operations and shipment tracking are different: gateways publish vessel or terminal activity, while the actual carrier tracks the bill, booking or container.
  • Cargo airports & air — Airport flight status describes the flight operation; cargo acceptance, loading and delivery still depend on air-waybill milestones.
  • Rail freight — A marketed train service or “train number” rarely identifies a shipment across platforms; rail cargo should be queried with the waybill and wagon or container reference.
  • Courier & parcels — Use the carrier and tracking number for authorised parcels; automatic recognition can only suggest candidates and cannot identify every carrier from the number alone.
  • Renminbi FX — Cover all published RMB-related currencies, then choose the correct basis—central parity, bank quotation, executed rate, customs valuation or statistical conversion—because they are not interchangeable.

Seaports

  • Ningbo Zhoushan Port — One of the first nearby seaport candidates to quote for a Yiwu ocean shipment; the final choice still depends on destination coverage, carrier service, actual terminal, cut-offs and total door-to-door cost.
  • Port of Shanghai — Another major seaport candidate for Yiwu shipments, to compare with Ningbo Zhoushan on destination coverage, service, first-mile transport, gate conditions and total cost rather than choosing by port ranking.
