FAQ
How long does shipping from China to the UK take?
Air freight: confirmed with your quote. Ocean freight · LCL DAP: 22–25 days to port + delivery. China–Europe rail · DDP: 16–19 days + UPS delivery. Express via Hong Kong: confirmed with your quote. Times are from Shenzhen or Hong Kong; customs and final delivery can add a few days, and the schedule for your shipment is confirmed when you book.
Do I need an EORI number to import into the UK?
Commercial imports into Great Britain need a GB EORI number. Import VAT (standard rate 20 %) and any customs duty are due on arrival unless the line is DDP — our China–Europe rail line is. Send us your EORI/VAT status and HS codes and we'll confirm the duties before you ship; the comparison table on our homepage estimates UK duty from the UK Trade Tariff.
What is DDP, and which lines include it?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means the price includes customs clearance, duties and import taxes, so the goods arrive without a separate tax bill. Our China–Europe rail line is DDP: 16–19 days by rail, then UPS delivery, at about a third of the air price. For other lines, your quote states exactly what is included.
How is air freight charged?
By chargeable weight: the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight. Volumetric weight = length × width × height (cm) ÷ 6,000 for air freight, or ÷ 5,000 for express. Per-kg rates drop at higher weight breaks. Sea freight is charged per cubic metre.
Can you ship products with batteries, magnets or liquids?
Our published rates are for general cargo. Special goods need a check first: send us the product details (and the MSDS for batteries, liquids or powders) and we'll confirm whether and how it can ship, and at what price.
