FAQ
What is DDP for Europe?
Delivered Duty Paid means import VAT/duties are handled in the shipping arrangement when the product supports it, so the recipient is less likely to pay on delivery.
How should EU/UK addresses be written?
Use the local language or English with street, city, full postcode and country. UK formats like SW1A 1AA must be exact.
Can battery products go to Europe?
Yes on eligible sensitive lines, subject to each country’s rules. Undeclared batteries risk seizure.
How long does China→Europe shipping take?
Express is often under a week to major cities; economy/sea can take 3–4 weeks depending on the lane.
