Sea freight: The shipping time is slow, but there are relatively few restrictions on the goods, the cost is relatively low, and the shipping risk is usually affected by weather and marine environment. It is usually suitable for large quantities of goods or goods with large volume and heavy weight.

Air freight: The shipping time is short, there are many restrictions on the goods, strict regulations on the size, weight, and type of goods, and the cost is relatively high.
