End-to-end DDP Shipping from China to Europe designed for industrial importers, wholesale distributors, and high-volume e-commerce sellers.

You receive cargo ready for distribution without multi-party coordination.

Weight Limits: Single carton weight capped at 25 kg for manual handling routes; palletized loads capped at 1000 kg per pallet.
Prohibited Items: Hazardous materials without MSDS verification, uncertified medical devices, counterfeit goods, and items failing EU CE compliance directives.
Operational Process
Booking & Audit: Submit commercial invoice and packing list. Our team audits HS codes for tariff accuracy.

Export & Transit: Export declaration filed at the Chinese port of departure; international transit executed via Air, Rail, or Vessel.
EU Customs Clearance: Import entry declared via local European tax representation using your or our EORI number. Duties and import VAT calculated and settled.
Final-Mile Delivery: Cargo dispatched via local trucking carriers to your designated address with real-time POD (Proof of Delivery).
Transit Time & Cost Factors
Costs are calculated based on actual weight, chargeable volumetric weight (1 CBM = 167 kg for air; 1 CBM = 333 kg for rail/sea), cargo classification, and destination postal code.
Cost Structure: All-inclusive DDP rates cover origin pickup, export paperwork, international freight, destination customs clearance, standard tariffs, import VAT handling, and final-mile delivery. No hidden terminal handling charges (THC) or destination port demurrage surprises.

FAQ

A: Our licensed customs brokers in Rotterdam, Hamburg, and Warsaw resolve document queries directly with local tax authorities within 24 to 48 hours, minimizing demurrage risks.
