FCA Tianjin Port: What the Term Covers

SINDFAN exports fan impellers and rotors on FCA Tianjin Port terms as standard. Under FCA (Free Carrier), the seller completes export clearance and delivers the goods to the carrier nominated by the buyer at the named place, which in this case is Tianjin Port. From that point, main freight, insurance and import clearance are arranged by the buyer. For importers who already work with a freight forwarder or run a consolidated inbound programme, FCA keeps the routing, carrier and rate selection under their own control.

As a reference point, a standard FCA Tianjin Port shipment left the works in June 2026 with a goods value of USD 23,806.5. That figure is a single transaction record, not a price list. Impeller value depends on diameter, blade geometry, material and balancing class, so each enquiry is quoted on its own specification.

Documents Issued with Each Shipment

The export document set is prepared with the order and released alongside the cargo:

  • Commercial invoice, matching the agreed FCA value and the buyer's purchase order.
  • Packing list, listing each impeller or rotor, its set number, net and gross weight, and crate dimensions.
  • Balance reports, covering the pre-shipment condition of the order, so the receiving team can verify quantities and weights before the container is unpacked.

Buyers should confirm consignee details, HS classification and any import licensing requirements before the deposit is paid. The invoice and packing list are drawn up from purchase order data, and amendments requested after that stage can push the loading slot back.

Packing: Impellers per Set, Rotors on Pallets and Crates

Impellers are packed per set, with the hub protected so the bore and keyway arrive free of nicks and corrosion. Sets stay together in the crate, which matters when a matched impeller and its associated components must be kept as one unit through unpacking and site storage.

Large rotors, which are too heavy or too wide for standard cartons, are mounted on pallets or packed in crates. All export packing is seaworthy, suitable for container or break-bulk shipment, with the rotor restrained so it cannot shift against the crate walls in transit. Importers bringing fan components from China should state at enquiry stage whether the goods will be handled by forklift or crane at destination, and whether the crate must be stackable, so lifting points and base timbers are built to suit.

Lead Time and Payment Sequence

Production lead time for the shipment referenced above was 40 days after receipt of a 50 percent deposit. That clock starts when the deposit clears and the drawings are approved, not when the enquiry is first sent. Where the buyer supplies a drawing for signature, approval time sits inside the schedule, so a delayed return moves the loading date by the same number of days.

OEM and ODM Impeller Supply

SINDFAN manufactures to buyer drawings and specifications. Send the drawing or the required data, including diameter, blade profile, material, shaft fit and balancing grade, together with the operating duty, and a quote is returned within 24 hours. ODM work, where the geometry is developed to a stated duty rather than supplied by the customer, follows the same route and the same document and packing standards.
