Buyer takes over at the seller's door and carries every cost from there. Lowest quoted price, highest buyer workload.
Seller clears the goods for export and hands them to the carrier the buyer nominated.
Sea and inland waterway only. Seller delivers alongside the vessel; loading is on the buyer.
Sea and inland waterway only. Risk passes once the goods are on board. The most common buying term.
Seller pays the main carriage but carries no insurance obligation; risk still passes on loading.
As CFR, plus the seller must buy and pay for cargo insurance (minimum cover unless you agree more).
Any mode. Seller pays carriage through to the named destination; insurance is not obligatory.
As CPT, plus the seller must insure the cargo through to the named destination.
Seller delivers unloaded at the named terminal. Renamed DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded) in Incoterms® 2020.
Seller delivers to your address ready for unloading; import clearance and duty stay with the buyer.
Seller carries everything through to your door, duty and tax included. Highest quoted price, least buyer workload.
Two things worth flagging. Under CIF and CIP the seller is obliged to buy cargo insurance and pay the premium; under every other term insurance is optional, and we recommend buyers arrange their own cover so a loss or damage in transit is recoverable. And this table is a working summary for planning purposes — the binding definitions are the ones published by the International Chamber of Commerce in the Incoterms® rules, so confirm the exact term wording in your sales contract before you ship.
Historical freight rates from China to Malaysia for 1 KG shipments. Data sourced from live carrier price feeds.
Key China-to-Malaysia import facts buyers should plan around:
| Main sea gateways | the main commercial seaport |
|---|---|
| Destination customs authority | the national customs authority |
| De-minimis / duty-free threshold | varies by country |
| Import tax & duty regime | Import duty and local tax apply; rates vary by commodity |
| Local currency | USD |
| Typical port/airport dwell time | 4–10 days |
| Peak / busy season | Sep–Nov |
| Conformity & certification | Confirm local conformity and labelling rules per HS code |
| Main air gateways | the primary international airport |
Thresholds and duty bands are buyer-planning references, not formal customs rulings — confirm the exact HS-code rate for your goods before shipping.
Shipments of 1 KG or under are most commonly used for product samples, quality inspection requests, documents, and single-unit e-commerce orders. At this weight range, express air freight is almost always the most cost-effective option — sea freight minimum charges would make it uneconomical.

Imports into Malaysia are assessed by the national customs authority. The applicable regime is: Import duty and local tax apply; rates vary by commodity. The duty-free / de-minimis position is varies by country. Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.
the national customs authority typically requires: (1) commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value; (2) packing list with weights and dimensions; (3) bill of lading or air waybill; (4) certificate of origin (may lower duty); and (5) any product-specific certification (Confirm local conformity and labelling rules per HS code). Under DDP we prepare and file these for you.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to Malaysia means one all-inclusive price covering freight, the duty/tax due to the national customs authority, and last-mile delivery to your door. The varies by country de-minimis position is handled for you, and there are no surprise charges at destination.
Minimums to Malaysia vary by channel: air DDP from about 21 KG (some from 12 KG), sea LCL from roughly 1 CBM, and express courier for single parcels. Below 21 KG, express is usually the most economical way into Malaysia.
Yes. Air shipments to Malaysia get an air waybill (AWB) trackable within 24 hours of departure; sea shipments are tracked by bill-of-lading through the carrier portal. We push status at key milestones: departure, arrival at the gateway, clearance by the national customs authority, and final delivery.
For 1 KG to Malaysia, Air Freight is recommended — it gives the best speed/cost balance (5–10 business days) at this size, clearing via the primary international airport. Sea-freight minimums make ocean uneconomical under ~50 KG.
