❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Air DDP General Cargo from China to Germany take?
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).
What duties and taxes apply when importing into Germany?
Clearance is handled by German Customs (Zoll). The regime is: Import VAT 19%; 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.
In what currency is this route priced and paid?
Freight is quoted and invoiced in USD; the destination-side currency is EUR. Payment is typically due before departure. Our DDP service handles the customs and tax processing, but the duty and tax figure itself follows your product's HS code, its declared value and the exchange rate applied at entry, so it is confirmed against the actual goods rather than fixed in advance.
How is the shipping cost on this route calculated?
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.
What does our DDP Service to Germany cover on this route?
Our DDP Service is a customs-clearance and tax-processing service for both parties; it does not constitute Incoterms DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). On this route it covers handling the customs entry and the duty/tax owed to German Customs (Zoll) on your behalf, so the clearance is managed for you.
What certification is needed to import into Germany?
For regulated goods, plan for: CE marking + EU IOSS for B2C. Missing conformity paperwork is the most common clearance hold with German Customs (Zoll), so confirm requirements for your HS code before shipping.
