All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of a full year.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (b) Basis of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd. (“Sino-China”) is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company through Trans Pacific Beijing entered into agreements with Sino-China, pursuant to which the Company receives 90 As a VIE, Sino-China’s revenues are included in the Company’s total revenues, and its loss from operations is consolidated with that of the Company. Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company had a pecuniary interest in Sino-China that requires consolidation of the financial statements of the Company and Sino-China. The Company has consolidated Sino-China’s operating results because the entities are under common control in accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations”. The agency relationship between the Company and Sino-China and its branches is governed by a series of contractual arrangements pursuant to which the Company has substantial control over Sino-China. Management makes ongoing reassessments of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of Sino-China. As mentioned elsewhere in this report, due to the worsening market conditions in the shipping industry, Sino-China’s shipping agency business suffered a significant decrease due to a reduced number of ships served. Therefore, the Company has temporarily suspended this business. The carrying amount and classification of Sino-China's assets and liabilities included in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows: September 30, June 30, 2016 2016 Total current assets $ 30,713 $ 31,128 Total assets 125,377 129,463 Total current liabilities 7,197 7,222 Total liabilities 7,197 7,222 |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (c) Use of Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, fair value of stock based compensation, cost of revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, and the useful lives of property and equipment. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (d) Revenue Recognition Policy · Revenues from shipping agency services are recognized upon completion of services, which coincides with the date of departure of the relevant vessel from port. Advance payments and deposits received from customers prior to the provision of services and recognition of the related revenues are presented as advances from customers. · Revenues from shipping and chartering services are recognized upon performance of services as stipulated in the underlying contracts. · Revenues from inland transportation management services are recognized when commodities are being released from the customers’ warehouse. · Revenues from ship management services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered. · Revenues from freight logistic services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered. |
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block] | (e) Translation of Foreign Currency The accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Sino-China and each of its branches are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar (“USD”) while its subsidiaries in China, including Sino-China report its financial position and results of operations in Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into USD using fixed exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction.

The Company translates foreign currency financial statements of Sino-China, Sino-Global Shipping Australia, Sino-Global Shipping Hong Kong, Sino-Global Shipping Canada, Trans Pacific Beijing and Trans Pacific Shanghai in accordance with ASC 830-10, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of equity of the Company and also included in non-controlling interest. The exchange rates as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 and for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows: September 30, June 30, Three months ended September 30, 2016 2016 2016 2015 Foreign currency Balance Sheet Balance Sheet Profits/Loss Profits/Loss RMB:1USD 6.6714 6.6487 6.6668 6.3031 1AUD:USD 1.3044 1.3433 1.3194 1.3792 1HKD:USD 7.7558 7.7595 7.7565 7.7517 1CAD:USD 1.3119 1.2992 1.3045 1.3086 |

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (g) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are presented at net realizable value. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual receivable balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balances, customers’ historical payment history, their current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Receivables are considered past due after 365 days. Accounts Receivable is written off against the allowance after exhaustive efforts at collection. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (h) Earnings (loss) per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to holders of common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive. The effect of 66,000 139,032 The effect of 150,000 stock options was not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because such options were anti-dilutive. |
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | (i) Stock-based Compensation Valuations are based upon highly subjective assumptions about the future, including stock price volatility and exercise patterns. The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee terminations. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. |
Risks and Uncertainties [Policy Text Block] | (j) Risks and Uncertainties The Company’s business, financial position and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies or interpretations with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. Moreover, the Company’s ability to grow its business and maintain its profitability could be negatively affected by the nature and extent of services provided to its major customers, Tianjin Zhi Yuan Investment Group Co., Ltd. (the “Zhiyuan Investment Group”) and Tengda Northwest Ferroalloy Co., Ltd. (“Tengda Northwest”). |
