China to Spain DDP Shipping Service

China → Spain DDP Shipping

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means:

Seller/shipper handles all logistics + customs clearance + import taxes + last-mile delivery

Buyer only receives the goods, no paperwork required

Very popular for e-commerce shipments to Spain

DDP Shipping Methods （Air Rail Sea）

1.DDP Air Shipping

Fastest DDP option

Uses air cargo + EU customs clearance (often in Spain, Portugal, or the Netherlands)

Transit Time:

5–10 days (China → Spain door-to-door)

Ports and Airports Commonly Used

In China:

Shanghai Pudong (PVG)

Shenzhen (SZX)

Guangzhou (CAN)

Beijing (PEK)

Hong Kong (HKG)

In Spain:

Madrid-Barajas (MAD)

Barcelona-El Prat (BCN)

Valencia (VLC)

DDP Air Rates

Weight Range	Estimated All-In DDP Price
~100 kg	~$5.50 – $9.00 per kg
~300 kg	~$5.00 – $8.50 per kg
500+ kg	~$4.50 – $7.50 per kg

The exact rate depends on:

Departure airport (e.g., Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing)

Destination in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia)

Season (Q4 or Chinese New Year bring higher rates)

Volumetric vs. actual weight billing

Note: These prices include duties, VAT, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery — that’s the whole DDP package.

How Chargeable Weight Works

Air freight cost is based on whichever is greater:

Actual weight (kg)

Volumetric weight (length × width × height ÷ 6000)

This means light but large boxes can cost more because airlines charge by space used.

2.DDP Rail Shipping (China–Europe Train)

Typical Routes

Common departure hubs in China:

Chongqing

Xi’an

Yiwu

Zhengzhou

Arrival hubs for Spain:

Madrid (main rail terminal)

Zaragoza (regional hub)

These connect quickly to road networks for final delivery.

Typical DDP rail transit time:

China → Spain

18–25 days door-to-door (including pickup, rail transit, customs clearance & delivery)

Note: Transit can vary based on departure city (e.g., Chongqing, Xi’an, Yiwu) and destination hub in Spain (e.g., Madrid or Zaragoza).

This is much faster than sea freight (~30–45 days) and cheaper than air (~5–10 days).

Estimated Costs

Costs depend on weight, volume, and service level (LCL, FCL, consolidated cargo):

Rail Freight (Non-DDP Base Rates)

Yiwu → Madrid: ~$1,350–$3,600 per ton (~$1.35–$3.60/kg)

Chongqing → Madrid: ~$1,800–$3,420 per ton

Xi’an → Barcelona: ~$1,710–$3,240 per ton

These are rail freight charges only (before DDP-level services).

Rail Freight Unit Price Examples

Consolidated cargo (small shipments): ≈$2.0–$4.5/kg

20 ft FCL (door-to-door): ~$4,000–$6,000

40 ft FCL (door-to-door): ~$6,000–$8,500

3.DDP Sea Shipping (LCL / FCL)

Sea Freight (Port-to-Port)

China → Spain major ports: 25–35 days sea transit (Shanghai/Ningbo → Valencia, Barcelona, Algeciras, Bilbao)

Door-to-Door (DDP)

35–45 days total (including export handling, customs, inland trucking)

Note: LCL may take a few extra days vs FCL because of consolidation/deconsolidation.

Cost Overview (All-Inclusive DDP Sea Shipping)

LCL (Less-Than-Container Load)

Charged per cubic meter (CBM) — ideal if your total volume is low or medium.

Typical DDP LCL Rates (2025 estimates):

≈ $120 – $215 per CBM (all-in DDP: freight, customs, VAT, delivery)

Good for:

Smaller shipments (< 10–15 CBM)

E-commerce restock, samples, mixed cartons

FCL (Full Container Load)

Best when you have enough volume to fill a container — much lower cost per unit volume.

Typical DDP FCL All-In Prices (2025):

Container

Price Range (USD)

Notes

20 ft DDP

≈ $2,100 – $3,200

Good for medium-size loads

40 ft DDP

≈ $3,800 – $5,500

Most cost-effective per CBM

Includes customs clearance, duties/VAT & delivery

Tip: Route and ports affect the price — Barcelona/Valencia often have more frequent sailings and competitive rates.

LCL vs FCL — Which to Choose?

Feature	LCL	FCL
Best for	Small to medium shipments	Large loads or bulk cargo
Pricing	Per CBM	Whole container
Transit time	~35–45 days	~35 days
Cost effectiveness	Good for < 10–15 CBM	Better when space > 15–20 CBM
