Frequently asked questions

How long does China to UK shipping take?
Sea freight to Felixstowe/Southampton is typically 30–40 days; China–Europe rail is around 18–22 days; air freight 4–7 days. Forwarders confirm exact schedules against sailing and departure dates.
Is rail freight from China to the UK worth it?
Rail sits between sea and air on cost and speed (~18–22 days), making it useful for time-sensitive but budget-conscious cargo. Availability and rates vary with capacity — post a request for current options.
What customs do UK imports from China need?
GB imports are declared through HMRC’s Customs Declaration Service (CDS), with duty and import VAT (postponed VAT accounting available). Most UK forwarders on CargoLinked file these as standard.
