This board tracks shipments on the China → India lane — typical transit 10–18 days depending on port pair, mostly via Singapore/Colombo transshipment or direct strings. One row per shipment, lane-aware milestones, and the ETA column that makes the weekly scan honest.
About China → India Shipment Tracker
Lane knowledge the statuses should be read against: customs scrutiny at Indian ports is the lane's variance driver — assessment queries and exam rates move clearance from days to weeks on electronics and machinery. Peak pattern: pre-Diwali consumer-goods imports peak August–October. Log every shipment and the lane's true behaviour emerges within a quarter: actual transit distribution, where delays cluster, which carriers hold schedule. That dataset — not the published transit — is what inventory buffers and customer promises should be built on.

Frequently asked questions
What slows China–India shipments more — the ocean or the port?+
The port side, by far: the sea leg is short and frequent, but Indian import clearance on China-origin goods (valuation queries, BIS/quality-control orders on specific categories, exam selection) is where the calendar stretches. Pre-filing the Bill of Entry, having product certifications ready, and a responsive CHA matter more on this lane than the carrier choice.
What's the realistic transit time for china → india?+
Published schedules say 10–18 days depending on port pair, mostly via Singapore/Colombo transshipment or direct strings. Reality adds origin dwell, destination clearance and the lane's specific friction (customs scrutiny at indian ports is the lane's variance driver). Your own log is the honest answer: after 15–20 shipments the actual door-to-door distribution — including the tail — is sitting in your CSV export.
When is peak season on this lane?+
Pre-Diwali consumer-goods imports peak August–October. Peak behaviour to expect: space sells out earlier, rollover risk rises, rates firm, and the lane's chokepoints run hotter. Rows you add in those windows should carry earlier bookings and more conservative ETAs than the same route in the slack months.
Why track a lane separately instead of all shipments together?+
Because lanes have personalities — different chokepoints, peaks and failure modes — and mixing them averages the signal away. A dedicated board per major lane keeps the dataset clean: this lane's transit distribution, this lane's exception causes, this lane's carrier ranking. That's the granularity rate negotiations and buffer-stock math actually need.
