Shipping from Guangzhou to the UK
Sea freight from Nansha to Felixstowe, Southampton or London Gateway takes about 35–45 days port to port and 40–55 days door to door. If that is too slow, rail to a terminal in the EU with a truck to the UK takes about 30–40 days, and air freight from Baiyun about 5–10 days.
UK imports need a GB EORI number and correct commodity codes, and VAT-registered importers can use postponed VAT accounting. If you do not want to deal with UK customs, ship DDP and we deliver with duties paid. See how long shipping from China to the UK takes.

Shipping Costs from Guangzhou
Typical rates in November 2026 for the main freight from South China. Rates change weekly; your written quote confirms the price for your cargo.
| Destination | 40ft container | LCL per CBM | Air per kg | Express per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USA (West Coast) | about $7,600–8,500 | about $120–150 | about $6.8–8.5 | about $12–16 |
| United Kingdom | about $3,550–4,050 | about $60–90 | about $4.5–6.5 | about $8–12 |
| Canada (Vancouver) | about $8,400–9,800 | about $140–190 | about $6.5–8.5 | about $13–17 |

Under about 13 CBM, LCL is usually the cheaper option. Between about 13 and 28 CBM, we compare LCL with a 20ft container for your route: a full container is faster, handled less and has lower destination charges. Duties, taxes and destination delivery depend on the shipment. Try the freight calculator or ask for a quote.
