Shipping costs may differ greatly depending on a number of factors. These include the volume, weight, and dimensions of the package(s) being shipped; the goods of the package(s); and the mode of transportation. It's also vital to think about the shipment's insurance and the time of year.

SeaRates can help calculate the cost of shipping from China to Germany, but as a general rule:

- Air freight is typically more expensive than sea freight (although it can be cheaper to send small packages via plane).

- Shipping expensive goods that carry a high insurance premium will increase your shipping costs.

- If you can’t fill a shipping container with your goods, LCL shipping (less than container load) is a cheaper shipping method than FCL shipping (full container load).

- Rail freight can be a great alternative for importers moving goods from China to Germany because it's faster than sea freight and, in certain conditions, cheaper. To use rail freight, goods must be containerized, therefore less-than-container-load orders aren't a possibility. It's ideal for bulk goods, dry goods, liquids, and machinery. If you don't need your goods quickly or if air freight is too expensive, choose rail freight from China to Germany.

Considering these cost factors can feel overwhelming. we can help you figure out the best freight rates; to see what your options are, all you need to know is your ports of origin and destination, when you plan to ship your cargo, and what type of shipment you’re sending.
