The duty-free / de-minimis position is EUR 150 (duty-free threshold). Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.

Can I track my shipment from China to Hungary?
Yes. Air shipments to Hungary get an air waybill (AWB) trackable within 24 hours of departure; sea shipments are tracked by bill-of-lading through the carrier portal. We push status at key milestones: departure, arrival at the gateway, clearance by the national EU customs authority, and final delivery.
Can I ship batteries via Air Freight to Hungary?
Battery cargo by air to Hungary is accepted with handling controls: built-in batteries follow IATA PI966/PI967, standalone cells need separate classification. We run certified battery channels through the main international gateway airport; surcharges add roughly USD 3–8/KG.
Which ports and airports handle China shipments to Hungary?
Sea freight to Hungary typically routes through Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, while air freight clears via the main international gateway airport. We pick the gateway with the best onward delivery time to your final address and price it into the DDP rate.
What documents are required for customs clearance in Hungary?
the national EU customs authority typically requires: (1) commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value; (2) packing list with weights and dimensions; (3) bill of lading or air waybill; (4) certificate of origin (may lower duty); and (5) any product-specific certification (CE marking + IOSS for low-value B2C parcels). Under DDP we prepare and file these for you.
When is the busy season for shipping to Hungary?
Capacity to Hungary 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.
