Shipping from China to the Netherlands (Rotterdam)

Rotterdam is Europe's largest port and the primary gateway for China–Europe ocean freight. Many importers route cargo through the Netherlands for efficient customs clearance and distribution across the EU.

Why Ship via Rotterdam?

• Europe's highest container throughput — frequent sailings from China
• Efficient customs processing for EU-bound cargo
• Strong road and rail connections to Germany, Belgium, France, and beyond
• Often 1–2 days faster than Hamburg for South China origins

Transit Times to Netherlands

• Sea DDP to Rotterdam: ~50 days from South China
• Air DDP to Amsterdam Schiphol: 5–8 days

From Rotterdam, GSC arranges last-mile delivery to any EU postcode under DDP.
