For supported EU destinations, Foshan Cargo compares eligible Ocean Freight and Truck Freight DDP base amounts using the member state, postcode and chargeable weight. Shipment-specific surcharges are excluded. Country coverage, product suitability, customs treatment and delivery conditions still require Buildcargo Logistics review.
01
Start with your goods and the actual country
One item or several self-purchased orders can start the review. Send the product links, actual EU country and postcode; unknown packing or weight can follow. Online prices require usable volume and a matching route. A Germany example is not a France or Spain quote, and the UK currently requires a separate manual review.
02
Worked example: DDP base freight only—surcharges not included
Illustrative calculation, not a customer shipment or final quote. Germany, postcode 10115; 2.400 m³ of assumed packed cargo; gross weight 300 kg. Packing and product eligibility still require review.
Volume-based weight: 2.400 × 1,000,000 ÷ 6000 = 400.00 kg. Chargeable weight used: 400 kg. Volume-based weight is higher than the supplied gross weight in this example.
These are alternative service options. Do not add them together. A different postcode, packing size or final weight can change the result.
No shipment-specific surcharges, final packing approval or automatic customs amount are supplied by this example.

Cost or question
Status in this website's estimate
DDP base-route freight
Calculated only when the destination, postcode and chargeable-weight band match a published route.
Shipment-specific surcharges
Not included. Product, size, weight, handling, remote and delivery conditions require a separate enquiry.
Packing, collection, warehouse work and unloading
Confirm the actual collection, protective packing, warehouse and delivery work. Appointment, unloading equipment and movement into the property are not assumed to be included.
Ordinary duty, VAT and special trade measures
Duty amount: Not calculated yet. The current tool has no reviewed automatic duty-rate records. Any later ordinary-duty reference is not added again to the DDP amount.
Final amount payable
Only the accepted written quote can confirm the cargo, customs and delivery scope.
04
Copy this request to your supplier
Please send the package count, outer length × width × height and gross weight of every package for my exact order. Mark the measurements as estimated or final, and confirm whether crates or pallets are included. Please include product material, intended use, invoice value and the ready date. For windows, stone or other building materials, include the dimensions and weight of the largest crate plus lifting and unloading instructions.
05
European execution evidence with a defined boundary
Buildcargo Logistics' published Spain record lists 49 packages, 30.51 m³ and 4,620 kg of doors, windows, glass and related components, with packing, Rotterdam transit and receiving evidence. It proves those recorded shipment facts, not a Germany rate, universal EU tax treatment or installation approval.
06
Get a service-fit answer, not a Europe-wide promise
The team checks the actual destination, cargo and delivery access, identifies missing packing data and lists separately quoted work. Compare sea and truck on that same written scope. The Spain record shows execution on that project; your goods still need their own route and receiving decision.
Questions before you commit
Does the Germany example apply to all EU countries?+
No. It is an illustrative calculation for Germany, postcode 10115. Enter your actual member state and postcode to check the available routes and base amount.
Will the website calculate my final EU VAT and duty?+
No. The current tool has no reviewed automatic ordinary-duty rate records. Classification, origin, customs value, VAT and any special measures remain review questions, separate from the base-freight calculation.
