If you‘re importing from China to Germany, we’re the freight forwarder that handles everything — from supplier pickup to customs clearance and door-to-door delivery. Here‘s how we work.
What We Do as Your Freight Forwarder
We’re Luicargo — a China-based freight forwarding company with 6 years of experience shipping to Germany. We handle the entire process so you don‘t have to juggle multiple providers.
🚢 Sea Freight Logistics
Sea freight is the backbone of Germany-China trade. Hamburg handles nearly 40% of Germany’s sea freight with China. We offer:
- FCL (Full Container Load) — for shipments over 15 CBM
- LCL (Less Than Container Load) — for smaller volumes
- Door-to-door delivery — from factory to your German warehouse
Our sea freight logistics team works with major carriers to keep your costs down.
✈️ Air Freight Forwarding
When speed matters, our air forwarding service gets your goods from China to Germany in days. We work with air freight brokers and major airlines to offer competitive rates to Frankfurt, Munich, and other German airports.
We also arrange DHL express air freight and DHL freight forwarder services for urgent shipments.
📦 Amazon FBA Forwarder
For Amazon sellers, we offer dedicated Amazon FBA forwarder services — including FBA prep, labeling, and direct delivery to Amazon.de fulfillment centers. Our freight forwarder Amazon FBA team understands Amazon‘s strict requirements.
🛃 Customs Clearance & Compliance
This is where we add the most value for German importers:
- EORI registration support
- HS code classification — accurate 11-digit codes
- CE marking verification — before shipment
- Import VAT and duty calculation — transparent upfront costs
- Customs clearance — at Hamburg, Bremerhaven, and other ports
We also support logistics and freight forwarding for warehousing and distribution.
🏠 Door-to-Door DDP
Our DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service means we handle customs, duties, and VAT. You pay one all-in price. We also act as your overseas forwarder and coordinate with forwarding agents at destination.
Whether you need a freight forwarder shipping quote or ongoing support, we’ve got you covered.
Why German Businesses Choose Us
The German market is demanding — and we get that. Here‘s why importers stick with us:
✅ Transparent pricing. We provide itemized freight forwarder cost breakdowns — freight, customs, duties, delivery, all separate. No hidden fees.
✅ Compliance-first. We verify CE marking and documentation before goods leave China. German customs data shows 17% of metal hardware consignments from China are held for 7+ days due to incomplete documentation. Missing paperwork can lead to 100% shipment seizure. We make sure you’re ready.
✅ Full-service capability. From commodity forwarders to carrier freight forwarder services, we handle sea, air, and rail. As a carrier and freight forwarder, we coordinate everything.
✅ Germany expertise. We know German customs and the new 2026 rules. Our freight forwarding agents are experienced with German imports.
✅ 6 years of experience. We‘ve shipped to Germany hundreds of times.
✅ One point of contact. From pickup to delivery, you deal with one team. No finger-pointing.
We also work alongside other freight forwarding partners — including concordia freight forwarding and woodland freight forwarder — to ensure coverage across all German regions.
One more thing: starting July 1, 2026, the €150 duty-free threshold for low-value imports was abolished. Now a flat €3 customs duty per item applies to shipments under €150, on top of the standard 19% import VAT. We handle this for you — no surprises.
