Frequently Asked Questions

Rail freight from major Chinese hubs to most European destinations takes approximately 12–18 days terminal-to-terminal, and about 15–20 days door-to-door including pick-up, customs clearance and final delivery. That is roughly one third of the transit time of sea freight.

Rail freight typically costs about one quarter of air freight for the same shipment. It is more expensive than sea freight per CBM, but delivers roughly three times faster, which often makes it the most cost-effective option overall for time-sensitive cargo.

Yes. Freight trains produce about 92% less CO₂ than air freight and less than one third of road-transport emissions per shipment, making rail the greenest practical option between China and Europe.

FCL (full container load) means your cargo exclusively occupies a container — usually a 40-ft unit holding about 67 CBM or 26–28 tons. LCL (less-than-container load) means your cargo shares a container with other shippers. LCL is the cost-effective choice for smaller volumes.

We serve 22+ European countries by rail, including Germany, Poland, France, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Nordics, the Baltics and the UK — with door-to-door delivery available in all of them.

Yes. For LCL shipments we need the packing size, weight and destination address; for FCL we need the cargo weight and the loading address in China. We then handle pick-up, rail transport, customs clearance and final delivery.
