Routes
We're a Chinese freight forwarder operating from the origin, where your goods are made and loaded. Importing directly from China brings barriers —the language, the distance, who to turn to— and our job is to make them a non-issue. Ireland is an island, and importing into it has its own logic: we handle it end to end —transport, documentation and customs—, with the prices you only get by working from the origin itself.
You work with the people at the port of departure in China, not a middleman in Ireland that subcontracts. Fewer links, better price.
We're where your goods are made and loaded: we coordinate pickup, consolidation and shipping from the very first metre.
We know Chinese carriers, ports and export formalities inside out. We pick the best combination of factory, port and carrier to Ireland.
We work in writing in English, the common standard in international shipping, and in Spanish when you need it. Every detail stays clear and documented — no language barrier with the origin.
The best port depends on where your final destination in Ireland is. We pick the one that connects best to cut inland transport cost and time.
Ireland's main port: it handles around half the country's trade and the vast majority of unitised cargo. The natural gateway for the capital, its metropolitan area and the east of the island.
The country's second port, on one of the world's largest natural harbours. Strong in container, roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro), bulk and liquids. The best entry for the south of Ireland.
The country's largest deep-water bulk port, on the Shannon estuary. Specialised in project cargo, bulk and industrial goods towards the west.
A south-eastern port, key in ro-ro traffic and direct sea links with the continent — especially relevant since Brexit to avoid transiting Great Britain.
We also operate with other Irish points: Dublin (airport DUB) · Shannon (SNN) · Cork (ORK) · Waterford
The most cost-effective option and the natural mode for an island. FCL (full container) or LCL (groupage) depending on your volume, usually with transhipment at a major northern European hub and a final leg to Dublin or Cork.
For urgent or high-value cargo, via Dublin (DUB) or Shannon (SNN). Fast and tracked in real time.
The China–Europe train doesn't reach Ireland, being an island, but it can be combined: rail to a terminal on the continent and a sea link to an Irish port. An alternative for certain cases; ask us about availability and timing for your route.
We take care of clearance. Ireland is part of the EU customs union: to import you need an EORI number and an import declaration is filed. Customs duty (based on the product's TARIC code, common across the EU) and import VAT, at 23% standard with reduced rates for some products, are settled. A point specific to Ireland: as an island and after Brexit, it pays to plan the route to avoid transiting Great Britain where it matters; we factor that in. We help with tariff classification and coordinate clearance with a customs agent at destination.
