Sea freight from China to Europe, DDP door-to-door

Full container load and less-than-container load shipments from China to Europe, cleared through EU customs and delivered to your address under DDP terms.

What this service is

Sea freight is the most economical way to move volume. You can book a full container when your cargo justifies it, or share container space through LCL consolidation when it does not.

We operate out of Xiamen in Fujian province, which gives us direct access to suppliers across the Quanzhou, Putian, Xiamen and Zhangzhou manufacturing belt. Cargo is collected from your supplier, consolidated at our warehouse, loaded at the port and shipped to Europe.

Under DDP terms we act as your importer of record in the EU: we lodge the import declaration, pay the duty and VAT, release the container and arrange inland delivery to your address. You receive one agreed landed figure.

Typical cargo profile

This mode usually fits the following kind of shipments. These are general guidelines — we quote on your actual cargo.

  • Cargo that does not fill a container, shipped as LCL
  • Full containers (20GP, 40GP, 40HQ) when volume justifies a box
  • Heavy or bulky goods where air freight is uneconomic
  • Regular restocking where predictable schedules matter more than speed
  • Furniture, homeware, hardware, auto parts, machinery

What we need from you

Give us these five things and we can quote accurately:

Transit times and rates vary by route, carrier, season and destination country. Rather than publish figures that may not match your lane, we quote each shipment individually — send us your details and you will get a real number.

Shipping more than a pallet?

Send us your volume and destination. We will tell you honestly whether LCL or a full container is the better value.
