Sea freight is the most economical solution for transporting large shipments from China to Greece. Full Container Load (FCL) is ideal for bulk shipments, offering dedicated container space and enhanced security. Less than Container Load (LCL) is suitable for smaller shipments, consolidating multiple consignments to reduce costs. Transit time from major Chinese ports such as Shanghai, Ningbo, or Shenzhen to Greek ports like Piraeus or Thessaloniki typically ranges from 28 to 40 days. Logistics Groups ensures smooth customs clearance at Greek ports and efficient inland transport to Athens, Thessaloniki, or other cities.
Air freight provides the fastest solution for urgent or high-value shipments. Transit from China to Athens International Airport or Thessaloniki Airport generally takes 3 to 7 days. Air shipments are ideal for electronics, pharmaceuticals, fashion items, and perishable goods, benefiting from faster customs clearance and minimal handling risk. Logistics Groups provides airport-to-door service to guarantee your cargo reaches its destination efficiently and safely.
Door-to-door shipping delivers cargo directly from your supplier in China to any address in Greece. This service includes pickup, export customs clearance, transport by sea or air, import customs clearance, and final delivery. It is particularly convenient for businesses without local logistics partners and provides end-to-end tracking so you always know the status of your shipment. Logistics Groups ensures secure, timely, and hassle-free delivery.
Full Container Load (FCL) shipping is recommended for large-scale shipments such as machinery, electronics, and textiles. Available container sizes include 20ft, 40ft, and 40ft HQ.

Containers typically arrive at Piraeus or Thessaloniki ports, followed by efficient inland transport to Athens, Thessaloniki, or other Greek cities.
