INDICATIVE COSTS
Air freight between Germany and China: what does it cost?
Per chargeable kg · China → Germany: 3–9 USD/kg. 100 kg chargeable weight · China → Germany: 300–900 USD.
Germany–China air freight needs the actual factory or warehouse addresses. Frankfurt and the Shanghai, Beijing or Shenzhen areas help narrow down routing options, subject to the shipment’s requirements. A tall or non-stackable pallet may need a different solution from sample cartons. Provide packed dimensions, supplier delivery terms and the date when the goods will be ready.
General-cargo freight based on chargeable weight in the stated direction. Collection, terminals, surcharges, insurance, taxes and delivery are extra. Cities illustrate the corridor rather than separate airport-specific rates.
