FR/IT/DK/FI/AT/SE Air DDP Battery Cargo

Air freight on this route runs about 5–10 business days door-to-door, plus roughly 3–6 days of clearance/dwell once it reaches the gateway. Customs clearance is coordinated through our DDP Service (a customs and tax handling service, not Incoterms DDP).

Clearance is handled by the national EU customs authority. The regime is: Import VAT 17–27%; duty 0–12% by TARIC, with a de-minimis position of EUR 150. Our DDP Service coordinates this customs and tax processing for both parties; it does not constitute Incoterms DDP.

For regulated goods, plan for: CE marking + IOSS for low-value parcels. Missing conformity paperwork is the most common clearance hold with the national EU customs authority, so confirm requirements for your HS code before shipping.

Sea cargo to FR/IT/DK/FI/AT/SE clears through Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg; air freight clears via the main gateway airport. We route through whichever gateway gives the fastest onward delivery to your address and build it into the DDP price.

Freight is quoted and invoiced in USD; the destination-side currency is EUR. Payment is typically due before departure, and our DDP Service handles the customs and tax processing for both parties.

We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000) and charge the greater, rounded up to the next kilogram, then apply the per-KG rate shown in the table above.
