Rail freight from China to Romania is an excellent middle ground between sea and air transport: much faster than shipping by sea and considerably more cost-effective than air freight.

Trains depart from China (Yiwu) and cross Eurasia, usually along the northern corridor (Trans-Siberian), to a European transit terminal, most often in Poland.

From the terminal in Poland (or another central hub) the goods are deconsolidated and delivered to Romania by truck or van, right to the final destination.

Total transit time: approximately 18 – 26 days.

Load types:

• FCL (Full Container Load) – a full container used by a single shipper.

• LCL (Less than Container Load / groupage) – goods from several customers sharing the same container.
