As someone looking to ship from Denmark to China, I quickly learned that the shipping cost depends on several factors, including the size and weight of the cargo, the shipping method, and whether you’re opting for door-to-door service or just port-to-port. The cheapest shipping from China to Denmark (or in reverse) is usually by sea, especially for large or heavy shipments.
For example, shipping from China to Denmark by sea (or vice versa) using LCL (Less than Container Load) can cost anywhere from $500–$1,500 depending on the volume and route. FCL (Full Container Load) rates for a 20ft or 40ft container are more economical per unit but require higher volume. Always factor in customs clearance fees and taxes on top of the base shipping rate.
