As a freight forwarding company, Top China Freight is dedicated to providing comprehensive international shipping services to our clients. Argentina, located in the southern part of South America, has relatively weak economic and infrastructure development and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. Although it is far from major international shipping routes, Buenos Aires Port and Córdoba Port are its main shipping hubs, with Buenos Aires Port being the largest and Córdoba Port connected by rail and road. Due to the outdated and poorly maintained infrastructure in Argentina, including roads, railways, and ports, shipping times may be extended. Therefore, it is crucial to plan shipping schedules in advance and choose reliable shipping service providers. We offer a one-stop logistics solution that includes sea freight, air freight, and multimodal transport, along with comprehensive customs clearance services and professional shipping consultation. We advise our clients to plan their shipping schedules in advance, consider purchasing shipping insurance, and collaborate with reliable local logistics service providers to enhance shipping efficiency and reliability. TopChinaFreight is here to help you overcome various challenges in shipping to Argentina, ensuring efficient and safe international logistics transport. If you have any needs or questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.

I signed up with Top China Freight years ago ( in the early days I believe) and have been a regular customer with the Germany, UK and US warehouse facilities. I have had many irregular and demanding situations over the years and I can honestly say that Top China Freight has consistently delivered valuable service at a reasonable cost and I am truly grateful. Sometimes they even went out of their way to suggest a better solution for my situation. I rarely leave reviews but have been so impressed over the years of service that I feel compelled to leave this review. Thank you to all the staff at Top China Freight!
