Importing goods from China to Italy

Does your company need support and assistance in importing goods from China, i.e. shipping from China to Italy? Global Shipping is the right partner.

Remember that importing from China to Italy, and in general to EU member states, requires a series of bureaucratic formalities to which one should pay particular attention.

In order to import from China, certain documents are required, such as: the commercial invoice containing all data on the producer, buyer, goods and their value, the packing list and any certificates required by the importer depending on the type of goods. In addition, certain specific documents must be prepared for the transport of goods, depending on the type of service chosen (by sea, by air, by train).

Importing from China, therefore, requires a number of steps to make the shipment of goods go smoothly, which is why it is essential to rely on a company that specialises in international freight forwarding while having extensive experience in markets with complex regulations such as China.

Shipping goods from Italy to China

Does your company need a reliable partner for shipping to China? Rely on Global Shipping and its solutions for shipping goods by sea, air and rail. 

Exporting to China  involves a series of bureaucratic formalities concerning the certification of the goods to be shipped (certificate of origin and commercial invoicing for all types of goods, as well as special certifications for particular types of goods), but also the documentation required for the shipment (international consignment note, packing list, and labels designed specifically depending on the type of goods).

Preparing all the documentation for exporting to China independently can therefore prove to be a complex operation, which can lead to mistakes and oversights.

Any questions?

The differences concern both cubic capacity and weight that can be loaded. A standard 20ft container can hold up to about 21.500 kilos of goods (24.000 kilos tare weight included) and has an average capacity of 30 cbm; there also certified containers that can hold up to about 27.500 kilos of goods (30.480 kilos tare weight included). A 40 ft container can generally squeeze about 60 cbm worth of goods inside and you can load 26.500 kilos of goods (30.460 kilos tare weight included).

Among the factors to be taken into consideration are requested time for the loading; place of loading; type of goods; shipping company.

  • When a specific time for the loading is required, an additional charge could be added. Furthermore, whether the company exceeds the franchise, extra costs could be charged.
  • The place of loading must correspond to the one indicated in the booking. Modification, where necessary, might require extra costs.
  • There are costs related to the type of goods you are willing to ship. Dangerous or IMO goods, for example, require specific procedures and their cost is defined at the time of request.
  • Each company applies its own rates. Our experts identify the company which best suits your needs.
