Third time using this channel for air parcels to Germany and it keeps getting smoother. The cargo cleared Frankfurt customs on day two, no queries, no amendments needed. Our contact flagged a minor weight discrepancy before departure and corrected it quietly — that kind of detail saves headaches. Delivery appointment confirmed 24 hours in advance. Exactly what a repeat shipper needs.

Solid experience shipping household goods to Germany. Booking was straightforward, transit landed within the quoted window, and the DDP terms held — no surprise duty calls from our customer. The only thing I'd flag is that one tracking update went missing for about a day mid-flight, which caused a brief panic. Everything was fine in the end, and support confirmed status quickly when we asked. Would use again.

Good lane for general dry cargo. Pickup from our Shenzhen supplier was arranged the same afternoon we confirmed the booking, which impressed us. Customs at destination was clean and fast. Communication from the team was professional throughout. A small labelling issue on two cartons was caught at origin and sorted before export — proactive catch that we appreciated.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship from China to Germany?
Current rates for shipping from China to Germany start at USD 6.23/KG via Air DDP General Cargo. For 300 KG, the estimated total is approximately USD 1,869, with all duties paid under DDP. Final landed cost depends on the Import VAT 19%; duty 0–12% by TARIC code applied by German Customs (Zoll).
What duties and taxes apply when importing into Germany?
Imports into Germany are assessed by German Customs (Zoll). The applicable regime is: Import VAT 19%; duty 0–12% by TARIC code. The duty-free / de-minimis position is EUR 150 (duty-free threshold; VAT from EUR 0). Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.
Should I use FCL or LCL sea freight for 300 KG to Germany?
For 300 KG to Germany, LCL through Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Wilhelmshaven is usually right unless cargo exceeds ~5–6 CBM or ships regularly. FCL becomes economical above roughly 15,000–18,000 KG and removes commingling risk during clearance by German Customs (Zoll).
What is the minimum shipment size for shipping to Germany?
Minimums to Germany vary by channel: air DDP from about 21 KG (some from 12 KG), sea LCL from roughly 1 CBM, and express courier for single parcels. Below 21 KG, express is usually the most economical way into Germany.
How is chargeable weight calculated for Germany shipments?
We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air) and charge whichever is greater, rounded up to the next kilogram. For 300 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
What certifications are required to import into Germany?
For regulated goods entering Germany, plan for: CE marking + EU IOSS registration for B2C e-commerce. Missing conformity paperwork is the most common cause of clearance holds with German Customs (Zoll), so confirm requirements for your HS code before the cargo leaves China.
When is the busy season for shipping to Germany?
Capacity to Germany tightens around Sep–Nov, on top of the China-side surcharge windows of Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking 1–2 weeks earlier during these windows protects both space and rate.
What is the transit time for Air Freight from China to Germany?
Air Freight from China to Germany runs 5–10 business days, covering supplier pickup, consolidation, transit, clearance by German Customs (Zoll), and last-mile delivery. Best suited to: time-sensitive goods, high-value items, small shipments.
