Frequently asked questions
Common questions about scope, delivery model and process.
What services does LuTrade provide?
LuTrade provides one-stop cross-border trade services: 5PL logistics integration, tax optimisation, cross-border financial solutions, operational simplification, compliance management and transaction security. Two specialist lines sit alongside them — quality control across the whole procurement cycle (factory audit, production monitoring, pre-shipment inspection, authoritative testing) and end-to-end risk advisory for transactions with Chinese suppliers.
Which countries and regions do you cover?
Our supply chain starts in China and runs deep into the Brazilian market. The logistics network covers ten major Brazilian ports (Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Vitória, Paranaguá, Itajaí, Suape, Salvador, Rio Grande, Pecém, Manaus) plus all major Chinese ports, with air freight covering Brazilian hubs such as São Paulo/Guarulhos and Rio/Galeão as well as major Chinese airports. Our offices are in Dongying, Hangzhou, Wuxi and Shanghai in China, and in Vitória and Salvador in Brazil.
What is White Label Delivery?
White Label Delivery means we execute the entire foreign-trade service under your own name — documents, communication, logistics and after-sales all carry your brand, and your clients only ever see you. We operate as the supply-chain and execution team behind you, without coming between you and your end customers.
Which industries do you serve?
Six key industries: petrochemicals, construction materials, electronics technology, auto parts, iron and steel, and machinery and equipment — covering 24 product categories in total. Each has its own supplier network, inspection standard and logistics plan. Our business also serves automotive and transportation, textiles, pharmaceuticals, mining and food.
What are your flagship products?
Our four flagship product lines are VALVE (gate, globe, ball and butterfly valves for petrochemical service), HOUSE (turnkey prefabricated housing), Radiator (engine cooling radiators for passenger and commercial vehicles) and PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT (project-specific specialist machinery). Each is presented on this site with a full photo gallery of the actual products.
Who handles Brazilian customs clearance?
Our local team handles it, working through a highly efficient linkage mechanism with PRICECARGO, a top-tier Brazilian customs agency, to protect both clearance speed and compliance. Destination clearance, deconsolidation, distribution and final-mile delivery are handled by the same team, not outsourced to a third-party forwarder.
Is there quality inspection before shipment?
Yes. Before shipment we run a final inspection strictly according to international AQL sampling standards, with high-definition photographs and traceable data reports. Where needed we connect to globally certified laboratories such as SGS and TÜV for specialised composition, safety and compliance testing.
