Our strategically located Guangzhou office is situated at Room 607-608, 6/Floor Talent Building, No. 1 Yichuang Street, Huangpu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong P.R.China 510555. This prime location allows us to closely connect with South China's manufacturing hubs, providing timely and convenient logistics support for local factories exporting to North Macedonia, including those producing photovoltaic equipment, new energy vehicles, and electronic products that are in high demand in North Macedonia.
Comprehensive North Macedonia-China Logistics Services
As an inland country in Southeast Europe, North Macedonia requires specialized intermodal transportation solutions. We offer end-to-end logistics services tailored to these unique geographical characteristics, covering every link from factory pickup in China to door-to-door delivery in major North Macedonian cities such as Skopje, Bitola, and Ohrid.
1. Factory Pickup Service (China Wide)
We provide professional factory pickup services across all major manufacturing regions in China, including Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Tianjin. Our experienced team will assess your cargo's type, quantity, weight, and volume—whether it's photovoltaic equipment, new energy vehicles, electronic products, or machinery—to arrange the most suitable transportation vehicles. By picking up goods directly from your factory, we eliminate intermediate links, saving you valuable time and labor costs. We also offer customized packaging and reinforcement services, especially for fragile goods like electronic components and machinery parts, to ensure safe transit through multiple transportation stages.
2. Flexible Warehousing Solutions
Our owned and partnered warehouses in Guangzhou and other key Chinese cities provide versatile storage options for your North Macedonia-bound or China-imported cargo. We offer both short-term and long-term warehousing services, supported by advanced warehouse management systems that enable real-time cargo monitoring and inventory tracking. Our warehouses are equipped with 24/7 security surveillance, fire protection systems, and temperature-controlled zones, capable of accommodating various cargo types—from general goods and electronic components to North Macedonian specialty products like nickel iron and marble.
Value-added services include cargo sorting, order processing, repackaging, and documentation verification. For North Macedonia-bound shipments, we ensure compliance with local packaging requirements, such as sturdy packaging to withstand the rigors of intermodal transportation (sea/rail + road) and proper labeling with detailed product information to facilitate smooth customs clearance.
3. Expert Customs Declaration & Clearance
North Macedonia's customs clearance process is known for its strict requirements, making professional expertise essential. Our team of certified customs brokers is well-versed in the latest North Macedonian and Chinese customs regulations, including electronic declaration procedures, tax policies, and product-specific requirements. We handle the entire customs process, from document preparation and verification to declaration submission and inspection coordination.
Key compliance highlights for North Macedonia-bound shipments:
- Provision of brand authorization certificates for branded goods
- Strict prohibition of food and beverage items (including chocolate, wine, and tea), which will be returned if included
- Mandatory provision of the consignee's TAXID (tax identification number)
- Detailed and accurate product description to avoid clearance delays
- Rational customs declaration value (low declarations may result in fines and damage to the consignee's credit)
- Preparation of complete documents including commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading/air waybill, and certificate of origin (as required)
For goods imported from North Macedonia to China, such as nickel iron, marble, and wine, we handle the relevant inspection and quarantine procedures and customs clearance formalities efficiently, ensuring compliance with Chinese import regulations.
4. Sea Freight Service (China-North Macedonia)
Given North Macedonia's inland location, our sea freight service adopts a sea-rail/road intermodal solution. Goods are first shipped from major Chinese ports (Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou) to transit ports in neighboring countries, primarily Greece's Thessaloniki Port (25-30 days transit time), then transported by truck to North Macedonia (1-2 days). We also offer alternative routes via other Mediterranean ports based on your specific needs.
Key sea freight details:
- FCL (Full Container Load) services: Competitive rates with stable container space secured from major shipping lines. For example, the sea freight from Tianjin Port to Skopje (via transit) is approximately $2000 for 20GP, $2450 for 40GP, and $2550 for 40HQ
- LCL (Less than Container Load) services: Cost-effective consolidation services for small-volume shipments, with flexible scheduling
- Total transit time: Typically 34-45 days, depending on the port of origin and transit arrangements
- Specialized packaging: We provide reinforced wooden crates and foam padding to prevent damage during intermodal transportation
5. Air Freight Service (China-North Macedonia)
For time-sensitive or high-value shipments, we offer efficient air freight services to Skopje International Airport, North Macedonia's main airport. Goods are shipped from major Chinese airports (Guangzhou Baiyun, Shanghai Pudong, Beijing Capital) via direct or connecting flights, ensuring fast and reliable delivery.
Air freight advantages:
- Transit time: 7-10 days for door-to-door service, ideal for urgent shipments such as high-value electronic components and spare parts
- High security: Strict cargo monitoring throughout the transportation process, suitable for valuable goods
- Simplified intermodal links: Direct delivery to Skopje Airport reduces the need for multiple transshipments
- Real-time tracking: Comprehensive cargo tracking services to keep you informed of the shipment status
6. Railway + Road Intermodal Service
We offer efficient railway + road intermodal solutions leveraging China-Europe Railway Express (CHINA RAILWAY Express). Goods are transported by rail from China to Budapest, Hungary (18-22 days), then transferred to trucks for final delivery to North Macedonia. This solution offers high stability and cost-effectiveness, making it ideal for bulk goods such as machinery, construction materials, and new energy vehicle components.
Notably, we have experience supporting the transportation of new energy vehicles to North Macedonia, including handling the specialized requirements of electric vehicle shipments and coordinating with the China-Europe Railway Express "Dongfeng" special trains for regular shipments .
7. Door-to-Door Delivery (North Macedonia-China)
Our one-stop door-to-door delivery service covers the entire logistics chain between China and North Macedonia. For shipments from China to North Macedonia, we handle factory pickup, warehousing, customs declaration, international transportation (sea/air/rail), North Macedonian customs clearance, and final delivery to your designated address—whether it's a warehouse in Skopje, a manufacturing plant in Bitola, or a distribution center in Ohrid.
For imports from North Macedonia to China, we manage pickup from local factories or warehouses (e.g., nickel iron mines, marble quarries, wineries), export clearance, international transportation, Chinese customs clearance, and delivery to your location in China. Our local partner network in North Macedonia ensures efficient last-mile delivery, with coverage across all major cities. Real-time cargo tracking is available throughout the entire process, providing you with full visibility of your shipment's status.
