Frequently asked questions

How long does delivery from China to Estonia take?
It depends on the mode: air 5–10 days, rail ~25 days, sea 35–55 days. Exact transit depends on the port of origin, cargo type, and season.
What documents are needed for customs clearance?
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, certificate of origin if required. We help you prepare the full package.
Can I ship a small consignment (LCL)?
Yes, we organise LCL groupage shipments by sea. You pay only for the volume your cargo actually occupies.
Should I choose FCL or LCL?
FCL is more cost-effective from ~15 CBM — you rent a full container. LCL is cheaper for smaller volumes but transit is usually slightly longer due to consolidation.
