Routes
China to Hungary
In short
Freight from the main Chinese ports to Budapest, Hungary. Sea is the cheapest and slowest, rail sits in the middle, air is for goods that cannot wait. Customs clearance is filed by us in Slovakia.

How the lane runs
Containers for Hungary normally arrive through Koper or a North Sea port, then move inland by rail or road. We clear in Slovakia and deliver onward, so there is one declaration and one invoice rather than a handover between three companies.
