This Shipping & Fulfillment Policy describes how Liang Shao LLC supports shipping coordination for international sourcing projects.

1. Role of Liang Shao LLC

Liang Shao LLC acts as a sourcing and coordination service provider.

  • We are not a freight forwarder, carrier, customs broker, or logistics company.
  • We do not physically transport goods.
  • We do not take ownership of cargo.

Our role is limited to coordination and communication support based on client instructions.

2. Shipping Terms

Shipping arrangements are coordinated based on Incoterms agreed in the project documentation, which may include:

EXW (Ex Works)
FOB (Free On Board)
CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight)
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)

All shipping terms, responsibilities, and risk transfer points are defined in the relevant contract or Purchase Order.

3. Lead Times & Production Schedule

  • Production lead times vary by product category, specification, and supplier capacity.
  • Typical production timelines range from 15 to 45 days, unless otherwise agreed.
  • Shipping timelines depend on transport mode, destination, customs clearance, and carrier schedules.

All timelines provided are estimates, not guarantees.

4. Carrier & Logistics Responsibility

  • Clients may appoint their own licensed freight forwarders and customs brokers.
  • If a supplier-recommended forwarder is used, we assist with coordination only.
  • We are not liable for delays, losses, or damages caused by carriers, customs authorities, weather, port congestion, or regulatory inspections.

5. Documentation Support

We may assist in coordinating shipping-related documents, including commercial invoices, packing lists, and supplier-provided certificates (if available).

Final verification and acceptance of documents remain the responsibility of the buyer/importer and their appointed agents.
