Shipping from China to Europe
Europe is one of the largest import markets for Chinese goods. Here's everything you need to know about shipping options, costs, and transit times.
Sea Freight (25-40 days)
Most economical. Major routes: Shanghai to Rotterdam (30 days), Shenzhen to Hamburg (28 days). Cost: $1,500-3,000 per container (FCL) or $100-300 per CBM (LCL).
Rail Freight (15-25 days)
China-Europe rail is faster than sea and cheaper than air. Routes via Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus to Poland/Germany. Cost: $2-5/kg. Good for mid-value goods.
Air Freight (5-15 days)
Fastest option. Cost: $6-12/kg. Best for high-value, time-sensitive goods like electronics and fashion items.
