White Goods Shipping from China: Global Logistics Solutions

BETTERluck Shipping, with 16+ years of expertise and 1,000,000+ clients served, specializes in global logistics for white goods—including refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, and ovens. Whether shipping to Europe, the Americas, Asia, or Africa, we handle every stage from factory pickup to door delivery, ensuring compliance with international regulations and secure transport. Below is your complete guide to white goods shipping from China worldwide.

1. Shipping Methods: Tailored to White Goods

Sea Freight: Ideal for Bulk Shipments

White goods, known for their size and weight, often benefit from sea freight for cost efficiency:

  • FCL (Full Container Load): For volumes ≥10 units (e.g., 20-foot container holds ~10 refrigerators), FCL is optimal for destinations like Hamburg (Germany), Los Angeles (USA), and Guangzhou (China) to Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). Transit times:

    • Europe: 28–35 days from Shanghai/Ningbo

    • Americas: 30–40 days (West Coast); 40–50 days (East Coast)

    • Middle East: 18–25 days

  • LCL (Less than Container Load): Suitable for 2–10 units, consolidated at our CFS facilities. Perfect for smaller orders to cities like Sydney (Australia) or Cape Town (South Africa), with shared container costs.

Air Freight: Fast Delivery for Urgent Orders

  • Global Coverage: Serves key airports including Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL), and Tokyo Narita (NRT). Ideal for high-value or time-sensitive shipments (e.g., new model launches). Transit times:

    • Major cities: 5–7 days

    • Remote areas: 8–12 days (via regional hubs)

  • Express Options: As a class 1 agent for DHL, UPS, and FedEx, we offer door-to-door express for small batches (1–2 units), ideal for replacement parts or sample shipments.

DDP & Door-to-Door Services

We provide Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) to 190+ countries, covering import duties, taxes, and last-mile delivery. For example, a 20-foot container of washing machines to London includes factory pickup in Qingdao, sea freight, UK customs clearance, and delivery to the buyer’s warehouse.

2. Regulatory Compliance & Certifications

White goods are subject to strict safety and energy-efficiency standards globally:

  • EU: Must comply with CE marking (e.g., ERP Directive for energy efficiency, EMC Directive for electromagnetic compatibility). Registration with the EU’s ICSMS database is mandatory .

  • USA: Requires UL certification (e.g., UL 60335 for household appliances) and FCC compliance for electronic components. HTS codes vary by product (e.g., 85163200 for electric refrigerators) with duty rates averaging 2.5% .

  • Asia: Japan mandates PSE certification; South Korea requires KC certification. China’s export requires a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for regulated models.

  • Africa: Nigeria requires SONCAP certification; Kenya mandates KEBS approval. Our team coordinates pre-shipment inspections to meet these requirements.

3. Packaging & Handling Requirements

To protect white goods during transit—critical for their delicate components (compressors, electronics):

  • Packaging: Factory-sealed cartons with foam padding or wooden crates (for high-value items) to prevent scratches and impact damage. Palletization is recommended for LCL/air freight, with stretch wrap for stability.

  • Labeling: Include “Fragile,” “This Side Up,” and product-specific warnings (e.g., “Do Not Lay Flat” for refrigerators). Multilingual labels (English + destination language) aid in handling.

  • Loading: Containers are loaded with secure bracing to prevent shifting. For air freight, maximum pallet weight is 1,500kg per IATA guidelines, with even weight distribution.

4. Customs Clearance & Documentation

Global shipments require:

  • Standard Documents: Commercial invoice (with HS codes and value breakdown), packing list (detailing dimensions and weights), and Certificate of Origin (CO) to qualify for preferential tariffs (e.g., RCEP for ASEAN countries).

  • Specialized Documents:

    • CE/UL/PSE certificates (as applicable to destination).

    • Energy efficiency reports (required by EU, USA, and Australia).

    • Import licenses (e.g., Brazil’s INMETRO approval for electrical appliances).

Our in-house team verifies documents to avoid delays, such as ensuring voltage compatibility labels (110V for USA, 220V for EU) are correctly displayed.
