DDP
What is included in DDP shipping?
DDP covers origin charges, international freight, destination clearance, import duty, VAT and last-mile delivery. The buyer only signs upon receipt.
DDP
How long does EU DDP take?
EU DDP delivers to door in 12-15 days, 7-10 days faster than conventional ocean + clearance. Main EU markets covered: DE/FR/IT/ES/UK.
DDP
Is DDP the same as door-to-door duty paid? Can it handle battery products?
Yes, in the industry "DDP / double-clearance / tax-included" usually mean the same: origin + destination clearance + duty & VAT + last-mile delivery, all bundled. Products with installed batteries (PI967/970) can ship via our EU/US lanes; pure batteries (PI965/968) need special DG slots — book 3 days ahead and provide MSDS + UN38.3 reports.
报关
What documents are needed for export?
Invoice, packing list, contract, customs power of attorney, declaration. Depending on product: certificate of origin, inspection certificate, 3C, MSDS, etc.

What happens if HS code classification is wrong? How to verify?
Wrong HS codes can trigger customs inspection delays, "false declaration" fines (5%-30% of cargo value), and even retroactive anti-dumping duties at destination. Our customs team provides free HS pre-classification consulting, and for complex items we can apply for binding customs advance rulings to eliminate risk.

What is the MOQ for overseas warehousing and which countries are covered?
We operate partner warehouses in the US (LA / Salt Lake City), UK (Birmingham), Germany (Duisburg) and Australia (Melbourne). MOQ is 1 CBM, with value-added services including 1-piece dropshipping, return / relabel handling, kitting, and FBA inbound transfer. Storage is billed monthly with transparent pricing.
海运
How long does ocean shipping from Wenzhou to Rotterdam take?
FCL standard 30-35 days, express 25-28 days. LCL 32-38 days due to consolidation time. We recommend carriers based on urgency.
海运
How to choose between FCL and LCL?
Below 15 CBM choose LCL; 15-20 CBM is the breakpoint — request both quotes; above 20 CBM FCL is better. Also consider fragility and consolidation risk.

How do peak-season surcharges work and how to lock in rates?
Peak season PSS typically adds $300-800 per 40HQ, while GRI adjustments add $200-500 per month. For high-volume shippers we recommend signing MQC long-term contracts, or booking 6-8 weeks ahead with our "Lock Slot & Rate" service starting 30 days before peak — both avoid spot-market volatility.

How long does air freight to FBA take?
5-7 days to US FBA via direct flights, 8-10 days via transit. EU FBA 6-9 days. Times vary by warehouse code.
