❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Air Small Parcel – FO-SI12-1 from China to Sweden take?
Air freight on this route runs about 5–10 business days door-to-door, plus roughly 3–6 days of clearance/dwell once it reaches the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP terms.
What duties and taxes apply when importing into Sweden?
Clearance is handled by the national EU customs authority. The regime is: Import VAT 17–27%; duty 0–12% by TARIC, with a de-minimis position of EUR 150. Under DDP these are pre-paid, so nothing is collected on arrival.
Which ports or airports does this route use into Sweden?
Sea cargo to Sweden clears through Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg; air freight clears via the main gateway airport. We route through whichever gateway gives the fastest onward delivery to your address and build it into the DDP price.
What documents are required for customs clearance in Sweden?
the national EU customs authority typically requires a commercial invoice with HS codes, a packing list, the bill of lading/air waybill, a certificate of origin (may lower duty), and any product certification (CE marking + IOSS for low-value parcels). We file these under DDP.
When does capacity tighten on the China–Sweden lane?
Space and rates tighten around Sep–Nov, plus the China-side windows of Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Book 1–2 weeks earlier in these periods.
What does DDP shipping to Sweden include on this route?
DDP means one price covering freight, the duty/tax owed to the national EU customs authority, and last-mile delivery to your door in Sweden. There are no surprise charges at destination.

What customers say about shipping to Sweden with us.
🇸🇪 Sweden
We tested this lane to Sweden with a mid-volume order. Final delivery was booked efficiently. Transit was close to the estimate and the destination delivery appointment was handled well. Better coordination than the forwarder we used before.
Best freight experience we've had shipping to Sweden. The channel handled a bulky but lightweight parcel with a favourable volumetric divisor, which kept costs manageable. From collection in Shenzhen to delivery in Stockholm was eight working days, which is impressive for this lane. Customs was pre-cleared efficiently. Will be using this for all our Scandinavian orders going forward.
This was a DDP shipment to Sweden for mixed cartons. Final delivery was booked efficiently. Cartons arrived clean and labels were still readable on delivery. Would use the same line again for general cargo. Leveransen kom fram utan extra problem.

Very good service for air freight to Gothenburg. The team coordinated pickup, export documentation, and delivery booking without us needing to chase anything. The parcel arrived on day seven, one day earlier than estimated. The customs receipt was sent automatically. Only reason for four rather than five stars is that the initial quote turnaround was a bit slow — about four hours rather than the one-hour response we've experienced with other channels.
