International and Professional Transportation Forwarder FBA Ocean Freight Shipping From China to Spain

As a highly developed nation with one of the largest economies in the European Union, Spain is a freight destination that’s seeing continued growth in imports from China. As trading relationships between China and Spain continue to strengthen, more businesses in both countries will acquire demand for their exports.

Perhaps your enterprise has already identified a market for Asian commodities in Western Europe, and is preparing to import from China to Spain, or has started the process and is looking for a better international shipping solution. This page will offer some advice and guidance so you can engage in ocean and air shipping from China to Spain more easily and cost-effectively.

You can send your freight from China to Spain via air or sea. We will focus on explaining both ocean and air shipping on this page.

Ocean Freight From China to Spain

Less than Container Load (LCL): Your cargo will share space in a container with the consignments of other shippers when you opt for LCL shipping. This can be ideal when you’re only transporting small quantities of goods and don’t need an entire container just for your shipment. Importing from China to Spain via LCL is often the most affordable option for smaller consignments.

Full Container Load (FCL): FCL shipping means paying for the exclusive use and transportation of a shipping container from China to Spain. As you’ll pay a flat fee, this mode of transport can be less expensive than LCL for larger, heavier goods.

Air Freight From China to Spain

Flying your freight from China to Spain is the fastest and most flexible mode of transport. However, this service comes with a high price.

Customs Clearance in China and Spain

If you ever wished your business didn't have to deal with export and import customs clearance, a freight forwarder, like JUHE SUPPLY CHIAN, can offer you some relief from the complexities. A team of experts can manage the customs clearance process for you and guide you in the completion and submission of shipping documentation.

Every country has specific requirements for customs documentation, including Spain and China. When you ship your freight with a freight forwarder, you’ll know which documents are needed for the trade lane you’re using, and receive help to complete and submit them correctly.

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Certificate of Origin

4. Letter of Credit or other payment terms (depends on the contract between the parties involved)
