Implemented cases

  • Case 1
Case
  • Direction: China-Ukraine
  • Cargo: artificial hair

The client agreed to give us their cargo only under the condition that the boxes would not be in contact with the walls of the container. Our logisticians believe there are no tasks that cannot be completed, only those that require more time. We placed another product on the sides to fulfill this requirement, leaving space on top. 

This resulted in a successful delivery, and the client was satisfied with our service. 

We welcome our clients' complex and unique requests and will do our best to fulfill their wishes.

International Cargo Delivery from China to Ukraine

Cargo delivery from China to Ukraine is not new but it is a profitable direction. In 2024, imports increased by 35%. Chinese suppliers still maintain leadership, surpassing other countries. If the quality and price are satisfactory, questions about delivery arise. How will the order arrive, what is important during customs clearance, and how much does delivery cost? A detailed article from DiFFreight’s international logistics experts will answer frequently asked questions.

Methods of Transporting Goods from the PRC to Ukraine

Two main methods available to our clients are air transport (via Warsaw) and sea transport. Let's talk in detail about each type.

Air Delivery

Estimated delivery time is about 18-21 days. Air transport is suitable for all types of cargo, including fragile goods. In current conditions, air cargo from China goes through the EU. The airplane arrives at Warsaw Airport, and after customs clearance, the goods are delivered to the Ukrainian border by road transport.

Advantages of air transport:

  • Speed: urgent cargo should be sent by air.
  • Predictability and safety – fewer unforeseen circumstances.
  • No additional intermediate stages.

The first downside of air transport is limited cargo capacity. The second is special requirements for labeling and packaging. Some parcels cannot even be delivered by air. The third significant downside is the high cost.

Sea Delivery from China to Ukraine

This method involves transportation across seas and oceans. Although it takes longer (about 65-75 days), it is significantly cheaper than air delivery. The goods are sent on container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, and specialized vessels for transporting cars or specific types of cargo. The goods are delivered to the port of Gdansk, where customs clearance is completed.

To summarize the advantages of sea transport for clients:

  • Convenient, as the infrastructure in China is well-developed.
  • Economical, especially noticeable with large volumes.
  • Suitable for all types of cargo – from decor and electronics to cars.

The main downsides are the long delivery times and dependence on weather conditions. The sea is unpredictable, so the exact arrival date cannot be calculated. After the goods arrive at the port, intermodal transport needs to be organized to the recipient.

Turnkey Delivery from China to Ukraine

The term "turnkey" means that the company takes on all tasks related to organization and logistics. This format is great because the client doesn't have to deal with the details. What is included in this service:

  • Finding reliable suppliers/factories based on the client's requirements.
  • Conducting negotiations and assisting in contract signing.
  • Purchasing goods in China.
  • Packaging and consolidation of goods at the warehouse.
  • Delivery and customs clearance.
  • Final-mile transportation, but for the client, it is to their warehouse or door.

To order the service, leave a request on the DiFFreight website.

Main Stages of Delivery

Let’s discuss in detail how DiFFreight organizes logistics. With extensive experience in various types of transportation, we always choose the optimal route for clients.

Preparation Stage

Your order arrives at the DiFFreight warehouse. An inspection of the goods in China can be conducted there to check if they matches the stated requirements. Warehouse staff check accompanying documents, the quality of the packaging and prepare the goods for shipment.

How Delivery from China to Ukraine Works

We offer sea and air delivery.

Sea Delivery:

There are two options:

  • Full Container Load (FCL). The client purchases the entire container (from 34 m3).
  • Less Container Load (LCL). Registration of part of a container or spaces where goods from several entrepreneurs are transported. The minimum weight of the batch is 50 kg.

DiFFreight employees ensure that your loading requirements are met. After the final inspection and paperwork, the container is sealed. It is then loaded onto the ship and heads for Polish ports.

International shipments from China undergo customs clearance in the EU (in consolidated form). Afterward, they are transported by road to the Ukrainian border. Each batch undergoes customs control and enters the destination country. The sea method is the cheapest one from China to Ukraine.

Air Delivery:

Most often, this is the transportation of consolidated cargo from China to Ukraine. The cargo is sent to Foshan Airport and then loaded onto a plane. The plane flies to Hong Kong and then arrives in Warsaw/Frankfurt. After European customs clearance, the cargo is transported (by road) to the Ukrainian border. The final step is customs clearance, which includes the payment of duties and taxes. Afterward, the goods are delivered either to a warehouse or directly to the door, depending on the agreement.

Tariffs and Delivery Times

  • Air delivery from China to Ukraine: price from $7.5/kg, delivery time 18-21 days.
  • Sea transportation of parcels from China: from $300/m3, delivery time 65-75 days.

Ensure the Safety of Your Cargo: Delivery Services

Bulk shipments from China must be delivered safely and quickly – these are the two main priorities for logistics companies. During transportation, the following risk factors are considered:

  • Poor infrastructure increases delivery time.
  • A long route also affects delivery times. The more intermediate stages, the longer the order takes to arrive.
  • Improper packaging, as poorly packaged cargo, can be damaged.
  • Lengthy customs procedures. If the documentation list is incomplete or contains errors, the cargo may be held up indefinitely.
  • Theft and loss during shipment. Therefore, logistics workers check items arriving at different stages of delivery.
  • Forced majeure events, such as road repairs, pandemics, and weather events – logistics companies take everything into account.

All links in the logistics chain must work together. This is the main task of international transportation companies. DiFFreight will ensure the safety of your cargo so the client receives it on time, intact, and without disputes with the insurance company.

Possible Difficulties in Transportation

What challenges do customers face when delivering Chinese goods:

  • Logistical problems. The company cannot provide clear delivery dates and costs.
  • Difficulty with document preparation. Do you not know which certificates, invoices, transport documents, and other papers should accompany the goods? This is not your job—the logistics company controls the documentation and provides customs brokerage services.
  • Lack of cargo tracking. Customers cannot track the goods, start worrying, and there is no support.
  • Insurance risks if the goods arrived from the supplier (manufacturer) defective or were damaged during transport. What to do in such a situation, should you wait for compensation?

At DiFFreight, you will receive an accurate calculation of the cost and delivery time for direct shipment from China right at the application stage. Additional inspection services will help ensure that the goods are sent in proper condition from the warehouse. Our 24/7 support ensures that clients do not worry about their cargo. We will help arrange the proper insurance to cover force majeure situations. DiFFreight logistics services offer high-quality service.

  • Leave a request on the website. Our employee will contact you, clarify all the cargo details, and provide a calculation.
  • Use the online calculator (for cargo volume). The weight of the shipments is also considered.

Cargo Delivery of Goods from China to Ukraine with Documents: Key Advantages for Business

DiFFreight also offers customs brokerage services. We will handle the correct preparation of necessary documents, calculate duties, and fill out declarations.

What Customs Brokers Do:

  • Prepare documents for customs clearance.
  • Choose the correct classification according to the Ukrainian Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity (UCCFEA). The customs duty is calculated based on the quantity and type of goods.
  • Pre-calculate how much it will cost to clear the goods.
  • Fill out and submit the declaration, and send advance notice to ensure your cargo is allowed through customs.
  • Provide assistance and resolve issues that arise with customs officials.

The duty payment process is crucial. If the client is charged the wrong amount or suspected of attempting fraud (even unintentionally), the goods will not be allowed into the country. There are many nuances, so we recommend seeking the services of DiFFreight’s customs brokers.
