Shipping from China to Germany
For a German inland warehouse, compare arrival at the warehouse gate. A rail-terminal arrival and a vessel arrival leave different work before the receiver can unload.
Which dates belong in a sea or rail comparison?
For each available routing ask for pickup, cargo cutoff, planned departure, terminal arrival and estimated delivery to the German postcode. Ask who arranges the terminal release and truck. Check availability for the actual origin, goods and dates before using a rail option in your plan.
Example: a factory order for a Leipzig delivery slot
A buyer has six pallets ready at one factory and a fixed warehouse appointment in Leipzig. Ask for sea via a named port and rail via a named terminal, both with delivery to the same address. If one plan misses the slot, ask the receiver for the next opening before comparing any saving.
What information helps the importer check requirements?
Give the broker a precise product description, materials, intended use, country of origin and invoice value. Use the European Commission’s trade assistant to look up the product for imports from China to Germany. Confirm the place of clearance with the broker, especially when the cargo enters the EU in another country.
