UPS International Express Shipping Cost from China to Germany
UPS International Express Shipping Fee Schedule
UPS international express from Shenzhen to Germany adopts a "unified flat rate" pricing model for all weight segments of 25KG and above. Regardless of whether the shipment is 25KG, 500KG, or even over 1000KG, the unit price is uniformly 21.06 yuan/kg, which simplifies cost calculation and is especially suitable for enterprises with stable bulk shipping needs.
| Origin | Destination Country | Weight Range (KG) | Express fee (CNY/KG) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shenzhen, China | Germany | 25-44 | 21.06 |
| Shenzhen, China | Germany | 45-74 | 21.06 |
| Shenzhen, China | Germany | 75-101 | 21.06 |
| Shenzhen, China | Germany | 102-299 | 21.06 |
| Shenzhen, China | Germany | 300-499 | 21.06 |
| Shenzhen, China | Germany | 500-999 | 21.06 |
| Shenzhen, China | Germany | Above 1000 | 21.06 |
Example calculation: For a 150KG shipment (general goods, no special packaging), the total freight = 150KG × 21.06 yuan/KG = 3159 yuan. If the shipment is light and bulky (e.g., a carton of clothing with length 60cm × width 50cm × height 40cm, actual weight 10KG), the volumetric weight = 60×50×40 / 5000 = 24KG (less than 25KG, calculated as 25KG), total freight = 25KG × 21.06 yuan/KG = 526.5 yuan.
Precautions
1. Reception Range
- Only general goods and goods with built-in batteries are accepted; goods with built-in batteries must be properly insulated and labeled (no loose batteries are allowed).
- Strictly prohibit all prohibited items, including but not limited to liquids, powders, food, drugs, flammable and explosive materials, and counterfeit products. A penalty of 1,000 yuan will be imposed for shipping prohibited items, and the shipper shall bear all legal responsibilities arising therefrom.
2. Packaging and Billing
- Packaging requirements: Only cartons or openable wooden boxes are accepted; closed wooden boxes, iron sheets, or irregular packaging (such as woven bags) are not allowed to ensure safe loading and unloading.
- Billing standard: According to UPS's latest regulations, the billing weight is determined by the larger of the actual weight and the volumetric weight (volumetric weight formula: length × width × height / 5000, unit: cm). Each piece of goods is rounded to the nearest 0.5KG before summing up to calculate the total billing weight.
3. Key Expenses
- Tariff prepayment: Required for shipments to Amazon Germany. A handling fee of 150 yuan per shipment is charged, and the shipper needs to provide complete customs clearance information (including commercial invoice, packing list, HS code).
- Main surcharges: Additional fees may be incurred for special scenarios, such as remote area delivery (subject to UPS's remote area list), large packages (length > 150cm or girth > 300cm), and residential delivery (deliveries to non-commercial addresses), with specific fees subject to UPS's official monthly announcement.
4. Compensation Standards
- In case of loss or damage to the goods during transportation, compensation is provided based on the declared value of the goods, with a maximum compensation limit of 100 US dollars per shipment.
- The paid shipping fee will not be refunded regardless of whether the goods are lost, damaged, or delayed; it is recommended to purchase additional cargo insurance for high-value goods (over 100 US dollars).
5. Operational Remarks
- Channel code requirement: When delivering goods, please clearly note "UPSV" on the waybill and invoice to ensure the shipment is allocated to the correct channel.
- HS code requirement: A valid 8-digit HS code must be provided for each type of goods to avoid customs clearance delays.
- Cut-off time: The order cut-off time for Shenzhen is 15:00 from Monday to Friday; goods delivered after the cut-off time will be processed on the next working day; no shipments are processed on weekends and public holidays.
