China to Europe Sea Freight: FCL & LCL DDP (~50 Days)

Ocean freight is the lowest-cost way to import from China to Europe. TY Freight offers FCL and LCL DDP with ~50-day door-to-door delivery, EU/UK customs included, and tracking from Guangzhou to your warehouse.

FCL vs LCL to Europe

Major European Ports

Rotterdam (Netherlands), Hamburg (Germany), and Antwerp (Belgium) are the main entry points. UK cargo clears at Felixstowe or Southampton.
