How long does China to Germany shipping take?

Sea freight to Hamburg/Bremerhaven is typically 30–40 days; China–Europe rail to Duisburg is around 16–20 days; air freight 4–7 days. Forwarders quote exact schedules.

Why is Duisburg important for China–Germany rail?

Duisburg is Europe’s largest inland port and the primary terminus of the China–Europe rail network, with frequent block trains from Chinese hubs. Many forwarders route rail cargo through it for onward EU trucking.

What customs applies to German imports from China?

Non-EU imports are declared through Germany’s ATLAS system, with duty and import VAT. Most German forwarders on CargoLinked handle ATLAS clearance and EU distribution.
