Typical flows: household appliances (washing machines, refrigerators, ovens), small electrical devices, LED lighting, cables and accessories. Sea import from China -- Shenzhen/Guangdong factories, 4-6 x 40' containers, transit ~40 days via Hamburg or Rotterdam to Riga. Regular B2B road lanes from Germany (Hamburg, Dusseldorf), Netherlands (Rotterdam), Poland (Warsaw, Lodz) -- FTL full loads or LTL consolidated shipments.
For imports from China into the EU, each product category requires its own Declaration of Conformity. The EU energy label changed from A+++ to an A-G scale in March 2021 -- washing machines, refrigerators, and LED lamps each follow separate labeling rules. One wrong label means a pallet rejected at customs. With 4 Chinese factories producing different product types, we verify CE documents and label compliance before loading to prevent customs delays. Key HS codes: 8516 (appliances), 9405 (lighting), 8544 (cables).
