由 lltx1822 Consolidation Process and Cost Explanation for Shipping Rocking Chairs and Sofas to Belgium
As an important trading country in Europe, furniture shipping in Belgium needs to follow relevant EU regulations. FCL or LCL sea freight is a common method for large furniture such as rocking chairs and sofas. Air freight can also be selected according to the urgency.
Before shipping, understand the requirements of the Belgian customs for furniture imports, such as providing detailed product descriptions, material compositions, and other documents. After sending the furniture to the consolidation company’s warehouse, the company will reinforce the packaging of the armrests of the rocking chairs and the backs of the sofas to ensure transportation safety.
The freight for a 20 – foot FCL container is 12000 – 18000 yuan, and for a 40 – foot container, it is 18000 – 25000 yuan, with a transit time of 30 – 35 days. The LCL sea freight is 450 – 650 yuan per cubic meter, with a similar transit time. Air freight is 70 – 100 yuan per kilogram, with a transit time of 7 – 9 days. During transportation, pay attention to weather and port conditions to avoid transportation delays caused by force majeure factors.
After the furniture arrives at the Belgian port, customs clearance procedures need to be handled in accordance with EU regulations. The tariff rate for furniture in Belgium is about 5% – 12%. After customs clearance, you can choose a local logistics and delivery company in Belgium to safely and quickly deliver the furniture to customers’ homes and provide installation services.
