Shenzhen Tongxing Import And Export Co., Ltd is your dedicated project cargo logistics partner for moving copper mining machinery and solar equipment from China to Chile. We offer FCL and LCL sea freight solutions along with out-of-gauge and breakbulk handling, so every piece of equipment is matched with the right transport mode. Our teams in Shenzhen understand that mining and renewable energy projects depend on predictable freight, careful scheduling, and damage-free delivery. With an annual export value in the range of US$5 million to US$10 million and a staff of 51-100 people, we are equipped to plan, book, load, and monitor complex shipments from major Chinese ports to Chile's key port facilities.
- Flexible FCL/LCL shipping: Full container loads for large production batches and LCL for partial loads or spare parts.
- Specialized equipment: 20ft, 40ft standard containers, high-cube units, open-top containers, flat rack containers, and breakbulk space for over-dimensional cargo.
- Heavy-lift and over-dimensional expertise: We accept crusher shells, ball mill components, conveyor pulleys, transformers, solar trackers, and other project cargo with careful lifting and lashing plans.
- Multiple ports of loading: Shipments can depart from Shanghai, Ningbo, Tianjin, Dalian, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, or Shantou to help you optimize inland transport.
- Chile main ports covered: Regular services to San Antonio, Valparaiso, and Antofagasta, with additional discharge arrangements available upon request.
- Coordinated delivery: Customs clearance advice, import documentation, and inland trucking to mine sites or solar farms can be arranged through our partner network.
Transporting project cargo is not just about moving goods; it is about protecting long-lead equipment, meeting construction milestones, and controlling total logistics cost. We start every booking with a cargo survey to determine dimensions, weight, center of gravity, and lifting points. This information is then converted into a shipping plan that selects the right container type or breakbulk arrangement and tells the stevedore team exactly how to handle the item.
Step 1: Application and cargo assessment. Provide basic cargo details, including dimensions, weight, quantity, and special requirements. Our team will recommend FCL, LCL, open-top, flat rack, or breakbulk shipping based on the equipment characteristics.
Step 2: Routing and booking. We confirm vessel space at the most suitable Chinese port and plan the connection to Chile. For large pieces that cannot fit into a closed container, we book breakbulk vessel space or roll-on/roll-off service if the equipment is self-propelled and suitable for ro-ro operations.
Step 3: Stuffing, lashing, and port handling. At origin, our operations team supervises the loading of the cargo. Machinery is properly blocked, braced, and lashed inside the container or on the flat rack. Fragile solar panels are protected with shock-absorbing material and water-resistant wrapping whenever required.
Step 4: Ocean transit and destination support. During the voyage, shipment status is monitored and the relevant documentation is prepared for Chilean customs. At the destination port, we can coordinate discharge, inspection, gate-out, and onward trucking to the warehouse, mine site, or solar project site.
- Copper mining machinery: jaw crushers, cone crushers, ball mills, vibrating screens, flotation cells, thickeners, slurry pumps, cyclones, conveyor systems, feeders, electric motors, control panels, and wear-resistant liners.
- Solar power equipment: photovoltaic modules, mounting rails, solar trackers, central and string inverters, transformers, combiner boxes, cable reels, switchgear, and monitoring systems.
- Supporting project materials: steel structures, pipes, valves, cable trays, and prefabricated components for mining or solar plant expansion.
Because FCL and LCL are both available, you can ship a single high-value machine or a consolidated batch of components. Full container load gives you sole use of the container, which reduces handling steps and lowers the risk of contamination. Less container load is a cost-effective option when your cargo volume does not fill an entire container, or when you need to ship auxiliary parts together.
| Cargo Mode | Suitable For | Typical Equipment |
| FCL | Large homogeneous cargo volume | Containerized machinery, solar modules, inverters |
| LCL | Partial loads and spare parts | Components, electrical cabinets, accessories |
| Open-top | Over-height cargo | Tall tanks, vessels, hoppers |
| Flat rack | Oversized width or length | Crusher frames, screens, girders |
| Breakbulk | Ultra-heavy or non-containerizable pieces | Mill shells, transformer stations, conveyor trusses |
| Ro-Ro | Self-propelled mobile equipment | Excavators, wheel loaders, drilling rigs |
The table above gives a general view of the options. We always recommend a cargo-by-cargo review because physical dimensions, load-bearing points, and port crane availability can influence the final choice. If you are shipping both mining machinery and solar components in one project, we can divide the cargo into convenient consignments and still maintain a clear timeline for the complete delivery.
Container shipments from China to Chile usually take approximately 30 to 45 days in transit, depending on the departure port, the selected Chile discharge port, and whether a direct service or transshipment is involved. Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou offer frequent sailings to West South America, while Tianjin and Dalian are convenient for northern China manufacturers. In all routes, we try to select vessel schedules that reduce transshipment and provide better visibility for project planning.
For larger breakbulk parcels, flexibility is also important. Heavy-lift vessels or general cargo vessels are matched according to the available tonnage and lifting gear. Our forwarding team obtains load confirmation from the carrier and keeps you informed of any changes to berth, sailing date, or discharge terminal.
- Reduced cargo damage: Professionally prepared lashing plans and protective packaging lower the risk of damage during transit.
- Cost optimization: FCL and LCL options allow you to balance container utilization against the urgency of delivery.
- Single point of coordination: You work with one provider for trucking, port handling, ocean carriage, and destination delivery support.
- Documentation assistance: Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and other Chilean import documents are checked with the final consignee before shipment.
- Response to special requirements: Anti-rust packing, fumigation treatment, temperature-controlled storage, and GPS tracking for selected cargo are available on request.
- Project-minded planning: We help you divide shipments into logical milestones so that foundations, mechanical equipment, electrical components, and spare parts arrive in the right order.
Shenzhen Tongxing Import And Export Co., Ltd is based in Shenzhen, Guangdong, with direct access to the manufacturing clusters and port infrastructure of southern China. Our company has an annual export value between US$5 million and US$10 million and a team of 51-100 employees covering sales, documentation, operations, and customer service. We regularly serve clients in South America and other global markets, which gives us practical experience with cross-border filing procedures, shipping line requirements, and port handling rules. We are not a carrier, but we work as your shipping manager: booking space with reputable carriers, arranging pickup from supplier factories, checking cargo dimensions, supervising container loading, and providing a transparent cost breakdown for every shipment. If you are planning a mining machinery delivery or a solar equipment procurement from China to Chile, send us your cargo list today for a tailored rate and loading proposal.
We can arrange sea freight for crushers, mills, screens, flotation cells, thickeners, conveyor components, slurry pumps, electric motors, and control equipment. Each item is evaluated based on dimensions, weight, and lifting points to determine the right shipping mode.
Yes, LCL is suitable for partial volumes such as inverters, cables, junction boxes, and mounting brackets. For large quantities of solar modules, FCL or open-top/breakbulk options may be more economical and safer.
Open-top and flat rack containers are available for over-height, over-width, or over-length cargo. When the item exceeds container-able dimensions, breakbulk shipping is arranged as an alternative.
We commonly use San Antonio, Valparaiso, and Antofagasta. For project sites requiring delivery near Iquique or other Chile ports, routing and discharge options can be discussed according to the vessel schedule.
We prepare lashing calculations based on cargo weight and dimensions, use suitable dunnage and blocking materials, and instruct the stevedores on the correct lifting method. Sensitive items can be wrapped with moisture-resistant material if required.
Containerized cargo from major Chinese ports to Chile generally takes about 30 to 45 days. Breakbulk or ro-ro shipments depend on vessel availability and may take slightly longer.
Customs clearance and inland delivery can be coordinated through our local partner network in Chile. Please share your tax ID and product HS codes if you need support at destination.
Please send the cargo description, quantity, dimensions, weight per piece, total volume, any hazardous property, and the desired loading port. We will then advise on the suggested FCL, LCL, or breakbulk arrangement and provide a cost estimate.
