How long does shipping from China to France take?

What is DDP shipping to France?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means you pay one all-inclusive price — freight, customs duties, import taxes, and last-mile delivery to your door in France. There are no surprise charges at destination. Our DDP service handles all paperwork and customs clearance on your behalf.
Is air or sea freight better for 100 KG from China to France?
For 100 KG to France, air freight is generally more cost-effective when you factor in the full delivery cycle. While sea freight has a lower per-KG rate, the 30–45 day transit time means higher inventory holding costs.

What documents are required for customs clearance in France?
For customs clearance in France, you typically need: (1) Commercial Invoice showing buyer, seller, HS codes, and declared value; (2) Packing List with dimensions and weights; (3) Bill of Lading or Airway Bill; (4) Certificate of Origin (may qualify for preferential duty rates); (5) Any product-specific certifications. Under our DDP service, we handle all customs documentation.

Freight charges are quoted and invoiced in USD. Payment is typically required before shipment departure. We accept bank transfer (T/T), PayPal, and other methods on a case-by-case basis. DDP means you pay the full landed cost upfront — no additional charges at destination in France.
Can I track my shipment from China to France?
Yes — all shipments include tracking. Air freight shipments receive an airway bill number (AWB) for real-time airline tracking within 24 hours of departure. Sea freight shipments are trackable via the bill of lading number through the carrier's portal. We provide status updates at key milestones: departure, port of entry, customs clearance, and delivery.

Minimum shipment sizes vary by channel: Air freight DDP channels typically accept from 21 KG (some from 12 KG). Sea freight LCL is usually priced from 1 CBM. Express courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS) handles single parcels. For shipments below 21 KG, express courier services are available. Contact us to confirm the best option for your specific cargo.
