Answer: YuCargo orchestrates truck, ocean, rail, air and last-mile under single accountability—fewer vendors from pickup to delivery. DDP/DDU per Incoterms; segment resources and rates subject to formal quotation.
Solution matrix
1. Chile–China temperature-controlled lane
Typical routing: San Antonio (Chile) → Shanghai Port / PVG → domestic cold-chain delivery (e.g. wholesale fruit markets). End-to-end temperature monitoring with priority clearance for cherries and other high-value produce.
2. Heavy equipment & OOG lanes (SE Asia / Middle East / South America)
For OOG machinery and project cargo, YuCargo provides:
- Survey — dimensions, COG, lifting points and stowage planning
- Heavy packing — custom crating/framing and moisture protection
- Special equipment — Flat Rack (FR) / Open Top (OT) booking where required
- Road permits — lowbed, bridge and night-move approvals at origin and destination
- Main-leg booking — Qingdao/Shanghai stowage to Ho Chi Minh, Dubai, South America
- DDP/DDU door-to-door — destination clearance + lowbed/hydraulic trailer delivery

FAQ
What is DDP vs DDU?
Under ICC Incoterms® 2020, DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means the seller delivers to the named place and covers import clearance plus duties/taxes. DDU is a legacy term; practice often maps to DAP/DPU-style “duty unpaid” delivery where the buyer handles import taxes. YuCargo can scope door-to-door under DDP or agreed duty-unpaid terms—confirmed in writing.
What does a forwarder cover under a DDP contract?
Typically international carriage, destination import clearance, duties/taxes (if tax-inclusive) and last-mile delivery; OOG permits and specialty trucks must be stated in the RFQ. Do not assume “all-in” verbally. Rates subject to formal quotation.
Is DDP suitable for OOG exports? How does YuCargo quote?
Yes when you want one accountable party for clearance and road delivery. Share dimensions/weight, ports, ATA show handoff needs and Incoterms via https://www.yucargo.com.cn/en/quote for a written program.
How to achieve door-to-door cold-chain import for high-value fresh produce like Chilean cherries?
Chilean cherries to China must meet GACC fruit quarantine rules and overseas manufacturer registration under Decree No. 280. YuCargo designs San Antonio port or Santiago airport → reefer ocean (often about −1°C to 0°C) or controlled air → Shanghai port/PVG → fast clearance and domestic temperature-controlled trucking (markets or designated cold stores) with end-to-end traceability. Rates subject to formal quotation.
How is cold-chain temperature proven door-to-door?
Setpoints and logging can reference national standards such as China’s GB/T 22918 for controlled-temperature carriage of perishables, plus reefer/probe and in-transit data loggers. YuCargo states the setpoint band, logging frequency and exception handling in the written plan and can provide temperature curves on arrival.
What steps are needed for OOG machinery export?
Typically survey (including stowage planning), heavy packing/rust protection, origin/destination road permits, Flat Rack/OT booking, destination clearance and extended lowbed delivery—DDP/DDU under single accountability. Exhibition moves can combine ATA Carnet with local OOG permits (e.g. Dubai RTA).
How are overseas OOG road permits handled?
Permits must be applied in advance with destination transport authorities (e.g. Dubai RTA, Southeast Asia road agencies)—covering bridge clearance, night moves and escort plans. YuCargo evaluates routes, permit lead times and special vehicle configs early and aligns with ocean/clearance milestones.
Does door-to-door include import clearance?
Scope follows Incoterms® 2020 and your mandate—state clearance needs in the RFQ. Food cold-chain also needs GACC registration and label compliance: https://www.yucargo.com.cn/en/services/gacc .
How is multimodal priced?
By leg or as a bundled program—confirmed in writing on the quote.
