As a professional logistics provider specializing in China–France freight solutions, Goodship leverages extensive industry resources and a mature global transport network to offer one-stop shipping solutions from China to France, centered on air freight, complemented by sea, rail, and road transport.


Whether it’s urgent high-value goods, bulk commodities, or medium-sized shipments seeking cost efficiency, our customized services ensure optimal speed, cost, and safety, guaranteeing smooth and efficient delivery from Chinese factories to destinations across France.

 

 

Air Freight: Fast and Direct

 

As the core option for China–France shipping, air freight is designed for time-sensitive, high-value, or small-batch goods. With rapid transfer and full visibility, it is the preferred choice for cross-border e-commerce, high-end manufacturing, and urgent replenishment.

 

Logistics Air Freight

Extreme Efficiency: Urgent shipments can arrive within 1–2 days; standard shipments take only 3–7 days (including export and import customs clearance), far faster than sea or rail transport, helping clients respond swiftly to market demands.

Extensive Coverage: Departure from major Chinese airports, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong; arrival at France’s main airports such as Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Lyon–Saint Exupéry (LYS), Marseille Provence (MRS), and Toulouse Blagnac (TLS) — ensuring seamless connection across France.

 

Diverse Services: Handles general cargo, electronics, precision instruments, perishables, and cold-chain goods. Offers door pickup, professional packaging, cargo insurance, and 24/7 tracking. Special handling qualifications can be arranged for high-risk goods.

 

Emergency Air Freight: For urgent shipments like exhibition samples or medical supplies, we prioritize direct flights and provide dedicated tracking to ensure arrival within 1–2 days at French airports — achieving “China factory to France warehouse” in as fast as 48 hours.

 

Bulk Air Freight: For shipments over 100 kg, tiered pricing ($4.5–9.5/kg) is available. Cargo consolidation reduces per-unit cost while maintaining 5–7 day delivery reliability.

 

FBA Air Freight Line: Tailored for cross-border e-commerce, with direct delivery to Amazon France FBA warehouses, including labeling, pre-clearance, and VAT payment services, ensuring full compliance and hassle-free inbound processing.

Sea Freight: Best Cost Efficiency and Large Capacity

 

Sea freight is the mainstream option for bulk shipments from China to France — ideal for furniture, building materials, textiles, and machinery that are heavy, large, and not time-sensitive.

 

Logistics and Ocean Shipping

FCL (Full Container Load): Suitable for shipments that can fill a 20ft or 40ft container, such as furniture, machinery, or bulk raw materials. Offers exclusive container space and higher security.

 

LCL (Less than Container Load): Ideal for smaller shipments, consolidated with other clients’ cargo and charged based on volume. Cost-effective for small- to medium-sized cross-border e-commerce sellers.

 

Extensive Coverage: China departure ports include Shanghai, Shenzhen, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Qingdao, Tianjin, and Dalian, connecting efficiently to the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Bohai Rim industrial zones. French destination ports cover Le Havre, Marseille-Fos, Dunkirk, and Nantes–Saint-Nazaire. Le Havre, France’s largest container port, offers over 10 direct sailings per week, while Marseille-Fos, a key Mediterranean hub, provides easy access to Southern Europe and North Africa markets.

 

Transit Time Reference: Port-to-port: 20–45 days; Door-to-door: 30–50 days, depending on route and season.

 

Bulk Cargo Customization: For bulk shipments such as steel, chemicals, and construction materials, we offer full-vessel chartering and consolidated cargo services, coordinating specialized port handling equipment (e.g., gantry cranes, forklifts) to ensure efficient cargo transfer.

Rail + Road Intermodal: The Balance of Speed and Cost

 

 

Rail + Road Intermodal

Rail + Road Combined Transport: This solution combines the cost efficiency of sea freight with the speed of air freight, transporting goods from China to European hubs via the China-Europe Railway Express, then delivering by road to France. It’s ideal for medium-sized shipments such as electronics, apparel, and daily necessities.

 

Stable & Reliable: Leveraging an efficient hub network and regular train services, this method offers a high cost-performance China–France transport option. Key inland hubs in China include Yiwu, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, and Zhengzhou, connecting nearby industrial zones in the Yangtze River Delta, Chengdu-Chongqing region, and Central China—saving extra transit time to coastal ports. On the European side, trains reach Lyon and Paris in France, with connections to Duisburg (Germany) and Malaszewicze (Poland). From Lyon, road delivery to major French cities takes within 24 hours, while Duisburg covers all of France within 3 days. Trains operate 2–3 weekly services year-round (except Chinese New Year).

 

Suitable Cargo Types: Supports 20ft/40ft FCL and LCL, ideal for electronics, textiles, daily necessities, and FBA inventory, including some special cargo (e.g., battery-powered electronics with prior MSDS certification).

 

Full Compliance Assurance: Our team is familiar with China–Europe Railway customs regulations and assists with TIR carnets and EORI registration, ensuring smooth clearance in Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, and other transit countries, preventing delays caused by documentation issues.
