One Agent for Every European Market

Europe is diverse: EU 27 (harmonised CE 19%–25% VAT) UK (post-Brexit GB-EORI 20% VAT) Nordics (Norway NO Sweden SE VAT thresholds) Switzerland CH (separate CH-EORI and customs) Türkiye the Balkans (RS HR BA ME MK AL) and CIS countries (KZ RU UZ AM GE AZ). Each has its own customs rules VAT rate currency and product certification. We know them all because we ship to 40+ European countries every month.

Whichever European country you are importing into we: (1) find the best genuine Chinese source factory at the best price (2) do AQL 2.5/4.0 pre-shipment QC (3) arrange the optimal shipping mode — sea freight China-Europe block-train railway (Horgos/Alashankou border) or air freight — and (4) deliver full DDP to your door or warehouse with every cost item visible in writing BEFORE you pay anything.

Success Case Study — LED RGB Desk Lamps · Nordic B2C DTC Brand (Sweden)

REAL CLIENT · H2‑2024 / H1‑2026

LED RGB Desk Lamps · Nordic B2C DTC Brand (Sweden)

A Swedish home-lighting DTC brand was sourcing LED desk lamps from Shenzhen through a distributor at €12/unit who refused to put their brand on 500-unit small orders. We found the actual Ningbo OEM factory negotiated 500 pcs custom OEM (laser-engraved Swedish brand + custom Swedish-language manual) for €3.10/pc. Rail freight DDP via Yiwu → Duisburg + final-mile trucking: €4.95/pc landed. They used the €7.05/unit savings to run a full Meta + Blocket campaign. 12-month reorder value: €218,000.

Unit Cost
28% – 61% lower landed vs prior supplier
Defect Rate
0.3% – 1.0% (QC pass‑through)
Reorder Run Rate
4x – 15x after 1st successful order

Frequently Asked Questions — Europe (EU 27 + UK + Norway + Switzerland + Türkiye + Balkans + Caucasus + Central Asia)

Yes. The China–Europe Railway corridor (Yiwu → Horgos/Alashankou border → Duisburg/Hamburg/Łódź/Budapest/Málaga) is often 30%–50% cheaper than air freight and 10–15 days faster than sea freight for European destinations. Typical door-to-door: 18–28 calendar days. We book with Maersk COSCO and DB cargo rail partners. Full DDP service available on rail: customs clearance + EU VAT + duty + final-mile all included.

Yes. We only quote factories that hold the relevant compliance certificates (CE LVD EMC RoHS REACH GPSR as required). If a fresh certificate is required for your SKU (e.g. first-time private label) we coordinate with SGS/TÜV/Intertek partner labs at cost — original lab invoice zero markup. The Declaration of Conformity (DoC) is issued in your brand's name kept on file permanently and copies sent with every shipment.

Yes. Individual / private-person buyers across Europe can start with 50–200 pcs trial order shipped DDP door-to-door to their home address via DHL DPD GLS DHL Parcel PostNL or local courier. We do not require you to have a registered business or EU EORI for small sample orders — we explain importer-of-record options before you commit.
