of goods exchanged via ocean freight &#8211; a cost-effective solution for high volume shipments. Imagine two giant neighbors passing boxes over a fence &#8211; only, in this case, the &#8216;fence&#8217; is thousands of miles of ocean, and the &#8216;boxes&#8217; are large shipping containers. Key ports like Shanghai in China and Valencia in Spain become bustling exchanges, connecting major industrial centers and fuelling international commerce.\n\nHowever, just like a game of catch, there are inevitable mishaps &#8211; dropped, misrouted, or delayed packages, perhaps &#8211; which you, the shipper, may personally encounter. These issues can often be traced back to misunderstandings or mistakes in shipping processes. But don&#8217;t worry, the following sections will lay out a roadmap. In this guide, we&#8217;ll untangle these complex procedures, revealing the best practices and specifications that can turn half-struggles into whole-victories.

This option offers reduced costs and superb flexibility, tailor-made for low-volume shipments.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Picture a small Spanish business sourcing specialized machinery parts from different suppliers in Shanghai. As their order volume doesn&#8217;t meet a full container load, they can opt for LCL freight, allowing them to consolidate parts from various suppliers within a shared container.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> The cost of LCL is proportional to the volume your cargo takes up, rather than paying for a whole container. This, alongside flexibility, makes LCL an economical choice for smaller scale shipments, while keeping storage and transport expenses down. However, an LCL journey could include additional handling steps, which may slightly increase logistics costs within your supply chain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c9f68a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7c9f68a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef0b0db elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ef0b0db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/china.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/Container-Illustration-Service-1.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20233\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7d6c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7d6c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FCL_Full_Container_Load\"><\/span>FCL: Full Container Load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/china.docshipper.com\/en\/sea-freight-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">FCL<\/span><\/strong><\/a> or Full Container Load shipping is a mode of transportation where an entire container, such as a 20&#8217;ft or 40&#8217;ft, is utilized by one shipper for its merchandise.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> Opt for FCL shipping when you&#8217;re transporting high volume goods, particularly if your cargo exceeds 13\/14\/15 CBM (cubic meters). Not only does FCL assure safety with the container sealed from origin to destination, but it&#8217;s also the cheaper alternative for high volume loads.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Consider a manufacturer in China about to send 5000 plush toys to a retailer in Spain. Each toy occupies 0.005 CBM in space, thus in total consuming around 25 CBM, which can fit perfectly into a 20&#8217;ft FCL container. They would opt for FCL shipping to ensure the toys are safely sealed and transported without sharing space with other shippers&#8217; cargo.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> Since FCL rates are flat, you don&#8217;t have to worry about pay-per-space concerns. In cases like the above example, the saved cost on an FCL shipping quote compared to LCL makes FCL the go-to option for larger shipments, despite the outlay for a whole container.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-e5e8164 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e5e8164\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-219777b\" data-id=\"219777b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a673751 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a673751\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Unlock hassle-free shipping<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db69acb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"db69acb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tConfused about shipping from China to Spain?

So, imagine your shipment is a single box of goods measuring 120cm x 100cm x 110cm, the volumetric weight is (120 x 100 x 110) \/ 6000 = 264kg or about 582.02lbs in pounds.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">In Express Air Freight, the formula changes slightly, dividing instead by 5000. Using the same box dimensions, your volumetric weight becomes (120 x 100 x 110) \/ 5000 = 316.8kg or 698.53lbs.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Understanding these calculations is crucial because freight charges are determined by the greater of the two weights \u2013 volumetric or gross. So, in both our examples, the shipment would be charged based on the volumetric weight, as it is higher. Knowing this ensures more accurate cost forecasting for your shipments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d148ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9d148ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/china.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/Full-container-load-FLC.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19596\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8aa7cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a8aa7cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/china.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Full-container-load-FLC-6.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-21129\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82292d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"82292d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"rail-freight\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"246\" src=\"https:\/\/china.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/Frame-1948758222-4.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-11392\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-880f93e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"880f93e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rail_freight_between_China_and_Spain\"><\/span>Rail freight between China and Spain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Did you ever wonder why a goods train doesn&#8217;t stop for a red signal like other traffic?

Without your goods&#8217; origin, getting the right code is next to impossible. Secondly, it paves the way to gauge your impending duties and taxes. Thirdly, international trade agreements are on the line. Spain and China have multiple deals that influence customs duties, so you&#8217;ll need to know your goods&#8217; origin to benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Next,<strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\"> restrictions and prohibitions.<\/span><\/strong> Some goods face strict controls or are outright banned. Knowing where your goods are from allows you to anticipate these hurdles. Fifthly, with your country of origin set, gathering required documents and planning shipment gets smoother.<\/p>\n<p>As for practical advice: stay on top of the agreements between Spain and China. Capitalize on any duty reductions or simplifications. Moreover, always play by the books when it comes to import restrictions to avoid complications.

It&#8217;s used by customs authorities around the world to identify products when assessing <span style=\"color: #000000\">duties and taxes.<\/span> <strong>When it comes to identifying the HS code for your product, your supplier is often the first port of call. They are very familiar with the products you&#8217;re importing and the related regulations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If getting the code from your supplier isn&#8217;t an option, don&#8217;t fret! There&#8217;s a straightforward process that you can follow. Our first suggestion is to use an HS lookup tool, such as the<a href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\"> Harmonized Tariff Schedule<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. Just enter your product&#8217;s name into the search bar.<\/p>\n<p>Once your search results are up, you&#8217;ll want to keep your eyes on the Heading\/Subheading column.

Let&#8217;s talk about the customs value. The customs value is not just the value of the products you bought. It&#8217;s actually the CIF value, which stands for Cost, Insurance, and Freight. It&#8217;s what customs officers use to calculate duties on your imported goods.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">Think of it like this. Imagine you bought toys worth $5000, paid $2000 for international shipping, and also forked out $300 for insurance. Your CIF value, or customs value, is $5000 + $2000 + $300 = $7300. This amount is what customs will consider when assigning duties, taxes and fees.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bear in mind, these costs can dramatically impact your profitability, so smart planning is vital for a smooth, cost-effective shipping process. Got it? Great! Let&#8217;s navigate to the next step.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-566759f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"566759f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Step 4 &#8211; Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3>\n<p>An import tariff is a tax imposed by a government on goods that are imported into the country. It&#8217;s typically calculated as a percentage of the total cost of the goods, which includes freight and insurance, known as the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value. In Spain, which is a member of the European Union, import tariffs are set by the EU&#8217;s Common External Tariff system.<\/p>\n<p>To figure out the tariff for your specific product, you&#8217;ll need to utilize the <span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0e465f\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/taxation_customs\/dds2\/taric\/taric_consultation.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TARIC System &#8211; European Customs<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span> Here&#8217;s how to navigate this:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Start by inserting your previously identified HS (Harmonised System) code and your product&#8217;s country of origin (in this case, China).<br>\n&#8211; The tool will then disclose the duties and taxes applicable to your product.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">As an example, let&#8217;s use an HS code of 640299, representing sports shoes. The TARIC System might display a tariff rate of 12%. If your CIF is valued at $10,000 USD, your import tariff would be: $10,000 12\/100 = $1200 USD.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Friendliness hint: Make sure to revisit the TARIC system regularly, as tariff rates are subject to change. Understanding your tariff rate can help streamline your customs process and anticipate costs, making your shipping experience from China to Spain smoother and more predictable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1880e57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1880e57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3>\n<p>After settling the standard tariff rate for importing goods from China to Spain, you shouldn&#8217;t pack up just yet. There&#8217;s the matter of other import duties or taxes that could apply, depending typically on both the product type and the country of origin.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">Let&#8217;s delve into a few examples &#8211; being mindful these are mere illustrations and the real figures may vary. First, we have the excise duty, attached to specific goods like tobacco or alcohol. Let&#8217;s say the excise duty on imported wine is 10% &#8211; for a $100 bottle, that&#8217;s an extra $10.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">Next, there&#8217;s the anti-dumping tax. This comes into play if your imported goods are priced below their normal value, potentially harming the local industry. So, if you&#8217;re selling bicycles for $150 each while the local market price is $200, be prepared to pay this tax.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">Perhaps most notably, there&#8217;s the Value Added Tax (VAT). In Spain, the standard VAT for imported goods is 21%. So for goods valued at $1000, the VAT could be an additional $210.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember though, these are just examples and real rates can change. Be sure to prioritize understanding these aspects; they could make a significant difference to your bottom line.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87c62b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"87c62b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3>\n<p>In this step, you&#8217;ll calculate the customs duties for your goods shipped from China to Spain. This involves figuring out your customs value (CV), which is the price paid for the goods plus insurance and freight costs to bring them to the EU.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">Firstly, if you&#8217;re not liable for VAT, calculate your duties as: Customs Duty = CV x Duty Rate. For instance, if your CV is $10,000 and the Duty Rate is 10%, your Customs Duty will be $1,000.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">Secondly, if you are liable for VAT, then include the VAT rate in your calculations: Total Duties and Taxes = CV x (Duty Rate + VAT Rate). So, with the same CV of $10,000, Duty Rate at 10%, and VAT at 20%, you&#8217;ll pay $3,000.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">Lastly, if you&#8217;re also subject to anti-dumping taxes and Excise Duty, include it too: Total Duties and Taxes = CV x (Duty Rate + VAT Rate + Anti-dumping Rate + Excise Duty). For example, with the same CV, Duty, and VAT Rates, an Anti-dumping Rate of 5% and Excise Duty of 2%, you\u2019ll owe $3,700.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Navigating customs duties can be complex, and understanding all the taxes you&#8217;re liable for is crucial.

So, make sure to bag that CO and mention your country of manufacture, making your shipping experience smoother and more affordable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9a5ef8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e9a5ef8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Certificate_of_Conformity_CE_standard\"><\/span>Certificate of Conformity (CE standard)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>To ship goods from China to Spain, your products will need a <span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>Certificate of Conformity<\/strong><\/span> to demonstrate adherence to the European CE standard.

This includes all destination points, from local to international, and certainly for imports to Spain as well. We understand that unexpected incidents can occur during transit, from simple damage to outright theft. By securing insurance, you protect your shipment and minimise risk, ensuring peace of mind during the transportation process. Taken together, we at DocShipper highly recommend that you consider insurance as a vital part of your shipping strategy.<\/p>                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"accordion-card-2 \">\r\n                                        <h3 class=\"accordion-header\">                                        <button class=\"accordion-button\">\r\n                                            What is the cheapest way to ship to Spain from China?                                        <\/button>\r\n                                        <span class=\"plus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <path d=\"M20 13.2852V27.2852M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#182230\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <span class=\"minus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_305_7058)\">\r\n                                                    <path d=\"M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#AD1225\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                                <\/g>\r\n                                                <defs>\r\n                                                    <clipPath id=\"clip0_305_7058\">\r\n                                                        <rect width=\"24\" height=\"24\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(8 8.28516)\" \/>\r\n                                                    <\/clipPath>\r\n                                                <\/defs>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <\/h3>                                        <div class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" style=\"display:none\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\r\n                                                <p>Given the considerable distance between China and Spain, the most cost-effective shipping method we recommend is sea freight, particularly for heavy or bulky items.
