Frequently Asked Questions

Rail vs. Truck — which is better?

Truck is 3-5 days faster than rail (12-15 days vs. 15-18 days) at a slightly higher cost. Choose truck for speed-sensitive shipments, rail for best value. Both support DDP door-to-door and FBA warehouse delivery.

Do I need a VAT number to ship to Europe?

Amazon sellers shipping to FBA need a VAT number in the destination country. If you don't have one, we can assist with German/UK VAT registration. Under DDP, customs clearance and tax payment are handled by us — you only need to provide essential information.

How much is ocean freight to Europe per CBM?

LCL consolidated shipping to major European ports is approximately $50-120/CBM (including DDP customs clearance and delivery), depending on destination port and volume. A 40HQ full container to Hamburg/Rotterdam is approximately $2,000-4,000 (DDP included). Please request a live quote.

How has logistics changed after Brexit?

Since Brexit, the UK requires independent customs clearance and no longer enjoys EU free circulation. However, we have a dedicated UK customs channel, so transit times are unaffected. UK and EU shipments must be cleared separately. UK FBA shipments require a UK VAT number.
