This weight falls into the LCL (Less-than-Container-Load) air category.

Can I track my shipment from China to Germany?
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.
