Questions

Dalian → Carmelo: three common questions

Usually Dayaowan port area, depending on the carrier and booking. The three options are door pickup (trucking within Liaoning plus rail-sea legs from northeast China), delivery to a warehouse or CFS that handles battery cargo, or delivery to the terminal gate; the quote states which one applies.

Only when the booking and bill of lading name Carmelo (34.00°S, 58.29°W). A city or country name in an enquiry is not proof of discharge; after the port, customs release and delivery to an address are separate steps.
