Laser Marking Machine Shipping & Delivery
Buying a laser marking machine from China is not only about the machine price. Freight, export packing, customs, import taxes, local delivery and unloading can all affect your final landed cost.
JQ Laser currently ships laser marking machines internationally through freight-forwarding and sea-freight arrangements. We work with buyers to confirm the machine configuration, package information, shipping route and agreed trade term before dispatch.

Which Shipping Method Is Right for Your Order?
The right shipping method depends on the machine weight, package size, order quantity, destination and how quickly you need the equipment.

*Planning freight ranges are not JQ Laser quotations. They are broad budgeting references only. Actual freight must be confirmed against the final package, gross weight, destination, shipping route and carrier quotation. Import duty, VAT/GST, customs brokerage, port charges and local delivery are not included unless explicitly stated in the commercial quotation.
Package Weight & Why It Matters
Freight is affected by both actual weight and package dimensions. For this reason, the final freight quote should be calculated after the exact machine and packing method are confirmed.
Standard Machine Reference
The current internal reference for a standard JQ Laser machine is approximately 110 kg gross weight. The final packed weight depends on the actual model and accessories.
Portable Machine Reference
The current reference for a Portable Laser Marking Machine is approximately 58 kg gross weight. Final shipping weight should be confirmed for the actual configuration.
How JQ Laser Packages Machines for International Transport
JQ Laser uses plywood combined with solid-wood structural components for export wooden crates. The current packaging process also includes an ISPM 15 marking arrangement.
The exact crate dimensions and packing structure depend on the machine, accessories and transportation method.
Machine surfaces and vulnerable components are protected before the outer crate is closed.
The export crate uses plywood together with solid-wood structural components.
JQ Laser’s current export wooden packaging carries an ISPM 15 marking arrangement.
Shipment information and package details are prepared for logistics and customs handling.
According to the International Plant Protection Convention, ISPM 15 addresses wood packaging material made from raw wood used in international trade. The standard also distinguishes processed wood materials such as plywood.
