About Shipping to Port of Rostock
How best to ship by sea freight from China to the Port of Rostock?
One way which CNXtrans can help you ship by sea freight from China to the Port of Rostock is on a FCL (Full Container Load) or LCL (Less Container Load) basis. If we ship this way, you will need to hire your own customs broker in Rostock to help you with customs clearance. FCL and LCL shipping do not come inclusive of any customs duties in Germany and destination port charges. Both customs duties and destination port charges will be payable once the shipment has arrived in Rostock. You can either pick up the goods at the Port of Rostock or arrange to have your agent to collect the goods from the Port of Rostock and deliver all the way to your address.
Alternatively, CNXtrans can also ship by sea freight to your address in Rostock or anywhere in Germany on a door to door basis. With door to door sea freight shipments from China to Rostock or anywhere in Germany, CNXtrans will be able to include customs clearance service, customs duties, destination port charges and delivery all the way to your address in Germany. This will save your the hassle of having to hire your own customs broker in Germany or worrying about having to pay customs duties and destination port charges in Germany without knowing how much they will cost. With door to door sea freight shipping from China to Germany via CNXtrans, all the these costs are included upfront in the shipping fee that you pay to CNXtrans, giving you a peace of mind and all you have to do is wait for the shipment to be delivered to your door.
One more alternative that CNXtrans offers for customers looking to ship from China to Rostock is to simply ship from China to a partner warehouse located in Rostock close to the Port of Rostock. This type of shipments will also be done on a door-to door basis meaning that the shipment will also include customs clearance, customs duties, destination port fees and delivery to the partner warehouse in Rostock. You will not need to hire your own customs broker or pay any customs duties in Germany. Once the shipment has arrived at the port warehouse in Rostock, you will then need to make arrangements to have the goods collected from there.

Free Repackaging Service
CNXtrans does not charge you for repackaging of goods at our warehouse. Once all your packages have arrived we'll access them for international shipping and decide how to pack them in the most efficient way as to minimize your volumetric weight and thereby minimize your international shipping costs. This may involve using a smaller package for certain items or simply combining all the items from different packages into one big package - we'll do whatever it takes to minimize your volumetric weight.
​
Free Consolidation of Packages
CNXtrans does not charge you for consolidating your packages into a single shipment. This is ideal if you're buying from multiple suppliers/factories/Alibaba manufacturers but wish to have all your goods shipped together as a single international shipment in order to minimize your shipping costs. Consolidation is sometimes confused with repacking but in actual fact consolidation can come both with or without repacking. Consolidation simply refers to the act of shipping multiple packages concurrently as a single shipment - they do not all have to be combined into one big package - as long as they are shipped together (concurrently) it is considered one consolidated shipment. There is a base shipping charge (which can be thought of as a minimum shipping charge) for each shipment that you make and shipping multiple packages concurrently (which constitutes a consolidated shipment) ensures that you only have to pay this base charge once instead of paying it for every single package that is shipped separately.
Even without repacking them into a single package, shipping multiple packages concurrently helps you save because you are only charged the base shipping weight once. This helps reduce your international shipping costs. Naturally, if deemed appropriate for your shipment, consolidation can come with repackaging too - after assessing your shipment if we deem that combining all the items into one single large package or into fewer packages can help reduce your volumetric weight, we will do so for you at no charge.
