Your Complete Guide | Shipping from China to Lithuania

Importing from China is a profitable business nowadays. Therefore, you might want to enter the world of international trade. Of course, that is a very business opportunity, but there are some prerequisites before you start shipping from China to Lithuania.

Being a premium freight forwarder in China, we have been operating in the Lithuanian market for over a decade. This guide will help you to learn everything you need to know before shipping from China to Lithuania.

1. What are the shipping methods to ship from China to Lithuania?

Most countries have two shipping methods from China – Air and Ocean. Being a European country, Lithuania has one more shipping method – Rail Freight. All shipping methods have different pros and cons.

Moreover, the shipping time duration is also different. But the best part is, that you have the flexibility to choose between three different shipping methods according to your requirement.

Air Freight

Air freight can be used to ship your goods quickly and safely. It is very convenient because you can get your package delivered to Lithuania within 5 days. There are two types of Air Freight – standard and express. Express shipping can deliver your goods in under 3 days. We will discuss that later in this article.

Air freight from China to Lithuania

However, there are certain restrictions when shipping by air freight. First, you cannot ship anything larger than 3 tons(that is the highest limit of air freight). Second, you need to meet all the requirements of IATA to ship anything hazardous like certain types of batteries or flammables. Third, air freight is expensive. And finally, you must be aware of the chargeable weight.

Air freight carriers use a term called ”Chargeable weight” to charge for your goods. That is not like our conventional weight system. Please read our detailed article on how to find the chargeable weight to learn more about this topic.

Top Airports in Lithuania

Vilnius International Airport

The Vilnius International Airport is the main airport of Vilnius in Lithuania. It is located in the suburb of Vilkūnas in the northwestern part of the city. The airport is operated by a unit of Litasoft, which is 100% owned by the Lithuanian Airports Authority and is located in the Kaunas district. The airport was opened on October 1, 1988, with the first passenger flight coming from Moscow.

Vilnius International Airport

The airport is located in Vilnius, in the east of the city, the capital of Lithuania. It is one of the largest airports in Europe, with approximately 37.8 million passengers in 2015, having passed the 50 million passenger mark in 2017. Vilnius International Airport has a total of 16 runways.

Palanga International Airport

Palanga International Airport is a modern airport serving Vilnius’s Lithuanian capital. It is the second-largest airport in the Baltic region and the fastest growing airport in the region. The airport has undergone a major expansion in the last few years, doubling the size the airport and increasing the number of flights. It now serves over 1.7 million passengers annually and expects to serve over 2 million passengers in 2020.

Ocean Freight

Ocean shipping from China to Lithuania is a great option, whether you’re sending a package to a loved one or importing goods for your business.

There are many reasons to choose ocean shipping over air shipping. First, it’s much more affordable. Second, it’s more environmentally friendly. And third, it’s a great way to support local businesses.

Ocean shipping is the way to go if you’re looking for a reliable, affordable, and eco-friendly shipping option from China to Lithuania.

The best part of ocean shipping is its flexibility. You can ship any product you want. There is no restriction over any items. Moreover, you have FCL and LCL shipping facility. Most large organizations choose FCL, but that is not an affordable option for small to medium businesses. Because in FCL, you have to book an entire container (20 or 40 ft.)

But with the LCL shipping method you can ship a small package and only pay for the space you will occupy in the container.

Top Ports in Lithuania

Port of Klaipeda

The Port of Klaipeda is the largest seaport on the eastern coast of Lithuania and is located in the Lithuanian Maritime Province. The quay in the port is located in the Klaipeda district, and it is the main facility for cargo and passenger handling in Lithuania, handling around 80% of the country’s trade volume.

Klaipeda Port serves as a major gateway for goods leaving from and entering Lithuania, the Baltic States, and Western Europe. Klaipeda Port comprises five terminals – Passenger, Freight, Industrial, Container, and Bulk terminals.

Butinge Marine Terminal

Butinge Marine Terminal Lithuania is one of the biggest cargo terminals in Europe. It is located in Lithuania’s capital city, Vilnius, and can be reached by the public bus No.51, which leaves from the city center (Namaiśnia in Polish) and stops at the Butinge depot which is accessible by an underground walkway.

Butinge Marine Terminal Lithuania consists of four main parts: a marina and a commercial area, a terminal for goods and containers, and a marina & commercial area for the intermodal container transportation system. The project is led by ABB, whose headquarters are in Switzerland, with a major site in Butinge.

Train Freight

Train freight is also available between China to Lithuania. Train freight stays in the middle of air and ocean freight. Train freight is faster than ocean shipping and cheaper than air shipping. Therefore, many importers from Lithuania use train freight.

2. How long is the shipping time from China to Lithuania?

The required time between China to Lithuania depends on the shipping method. Below you will find the required time in different methods:

Air Freight Transit Time

Standard air freight requires 5 days to ship from China to Lithuania. But that is transit time, and you should add some days with the transit time.

Ocean Freight Transit Time

 COUNTRY  PORT  Transit Time (Days)
 Lithuania  VILNIUS  45
 Lithuania  VILNIUS  45
 Lithuania  KLAIPEDA  35

*** This is LCL Transit time

Train Freight Transit Time

3. How much does it cost to ship from China to Lithuania?

You can never put a price tag on your shipment without some specific information. At first, you have to decide which shipping method you will use. Obviously, the shipping costs from China to Lithuania by ocean and air will not be the same. The goods you are importing from China to Lithuania also impact the shipping cost.

Therefore, we will highly advise you to ask for quotes from several freight forwarders before calculating the shipping costs from China to Lithuania. You will have to  provide the following information to the freight forwarder to calculate the shipping costs from China to Lithuania

  • Product type.
  • What will be your shipping method – air, train, or ocean.
  • Packing list information, including how many weights and volumes you are going to ship,
  • Your delivery address

You will get an overall idea of shipping costs from China to Lithuania from the below table:

Air Freight Shipping Costs from China to Lithuania

 Approximate Price  China to Vilnius
 Air flight Route  Turkish Airlines
 Weight Range (in Kg)  45K+  100+  300+  500+  1000+
 Price  8.5 USD  4.9 USD  4.8 USD  4.7 USD  4.6 USD

Ocean Freight Shipping Costs from China to Lithuania

 Port  Port  Route  1 to 3 CBM  3 to 5 CBM  5 to 10 CBM  Samples(TT)
 Lithuania  VILNIUS  VIA KLAIPEDA  75  70  65  35
 Lithuania  VILNIUS  VIA RIGA  80  75  70  45
 Lithuania  KLAIPEDA  DIRECT  75  70  65  45

*** This Price quotation is for LCL shipping only. For FCL, a 20 ft container price ranges from $ 1000 to$ 16000

The shipping costs depend on the followings:

  • Fuel Costs – The international shipping costs change frequently. So, the quotation will not be the same for the same amount of goods.
  • Weather – Inclement weather impacts not only the shipping time but also the shipping costs, irrespective of the shipping method you use.
  • Distance – It’s most probably the most significant reason for the change in shipping costs.
  • Weight and Dimension – Larger and havier parcel is expensive to ship. Therefore, try to make small packages to reduce your shipping costs.
  • Shipping duration – The fast you want, the more you will have to pay.
  • Customs – Every country has different policies on customs duty, VAT, and Taxes for different products. You should learn the customs duty and other charges prior to your shipment for precise calculation.
  • Insurance – Though not mandatory, the shipping charge will rise if you take insurance. In addition, who you are taking insurance with also affects the costs.
  • Delivery Surcharge – This is applied for courier shipping service. This depends on the place you are shipping to and from.
