Verified reviews from importers who have shipped with us to Germany.
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.
We tested this lane to Germany with a mid-volume order. The delivery booking matched the promised window. Tracking updates were not excessive, but they came when something important changed. Better coordination than the forwarder we used before. Alles lief planmassig bis zur Zustellung.
This was a DDP shipment to Germany for mixed cartons. The delivery booking matched the promised window. Pickup from the supplier was arranged quickly and customs stayed under control. A practical option when we need predictable landed cost. Alles lief planmassig bis zur Zustellung.
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.

Shipping 300 KG from China to Germany is firmly in bulk commercial freight territory. At this volume, sea freight (FCL or LCL) and air charter rates become significantly more competitive. Most importers at this weight range use scheduled sea freight for regular orders and air freight only for urgent replenishments.
| Method | Transit Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sea Freight LCL | 30–50 calendar days | Shared container to Germany port + delivery |
| Sea Freight FCL | 28–45 calendar days | Full container to Germany port + delivery |
| Rail Freight DDP | 18–28 calendar days | Train via Central Asia to Germany |
| Express Courier | 3–7 business days | DHL/FedEx/UPS door-to-door, high cost for this weight |
Current rates for shipping from China to Germany start at USD 1.52/KG via Sea DDP. For 300 KG, the estimated total is approximately USD 456, 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).
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.
Door-to-door transit to Germany: air freight 5–10 business days, sea LCL 30–50 days, sea FCL 28–45 days, and rail 18–28 days. On arrival, allow roughly 3–6 days of clearance/dwell at the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP.
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.
Freight to Germany is quoted and invoiced in USD; the local currency on the destination side is EUR. Payment is typically due before departure (T/T or PayPal), and because it's DDP you settle the full landed cost once — no destination collect charges.
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.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to Germany means one all-inclusive price covering freight, the duty/tax due to German Customs (Zoll), and last-mile delivery to your door. The EUR 150 (duty-free threshold; VAT from EUR 0) de-minimis position is handled for you, and there are no surprise charges at destination.
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).
