As a business owner who imports from China to Luxembourg, I’ve explored different ways to ship goods. The most common and practical methods include shipping from China to Luxembourg by sea, air freight, and express courier services. Sea shipping is ideal for large volumes or container loads — though it takes more time, it’s much more cost-effective.

When I’m not in a rush, I prefer sea freight via major ports in China (like Shanghai or Shenzhen) to European ports such as Antwerp or Rotterdam, then by truck or rail into Luxembourg. The shipping time from China to Luxembourg by sea usually takes 30 to 45 days. For faster deliveries, I use air freight, which takes around 5 to 10 days.
