Questions

Dalian → Aden: 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 Aden (12.78°N, 44.95°E). 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.

Start with the cargo description, battery configuration, condition statement, UN 38.3 test summary and SDS. The checklist on this page lists the rest.
