Through long-term cooperation with major carriers such as COSCO, OOCL, APL, EMC, Maersk (MSK), and HMM, we secure attractive contract rates and stable container capacity on key Asia–Europe trade lanes via the Suez Canal and Mediterranean and North European hub ports. Whether you are shipping electronics, industrial machinery, household goods, automotive parts, building materials, FMCG products, chemicals, or textiles, our ocean freight solutions are designed to ensure smooth coordination, predictable transit times, and well-managed deliveries into major French gateways such as Le Havre, Marseille–Fos, Dunkirk, and other regional ports.
For urgent, high-value, or time-sensitive cargo, our air freight service offers fast and secure transportation from China to France. AI Shipping China designs optimized flight routings to key French airports—such as Paris Charles de Gaulle, Orly, Lyon, and Marseille—as well as regional air cargo hubs, helping you achieve dependable transit times and professional handling from origin to destination. From pickup at your supplier’s facility and export customs clearance in China to import procedures and last-mile delivery across France, we manage the complete air logistics process—ideal for medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, high-tech components, critical spare parts, precision instruments, premium electronics, samples, and other mission-critical shipments.
AI Shipping China delivers dependable rail freight solutions connecting China and France through the China–Europe Railway network. Shipments move efficiently via key European rail hubs such as Duisburg, Hamburg, Warsaw, and Lyon, with average transit times of approximately 14–20 days. This option offers an optimal balance—significantly quicker than ocean freight while remaining far more economical than air shipping.
Rail transport is an excellent choice for goods including electronics, industrial machinery, automotive components, retail stock, and palletized shipments. After arrival at major European rail terminals, our logistics team arranges smooth last-mile distribution throughout France via reliable express trucking, ensuring timely and secure delivery from the point of origin to the final consignee.
AI Shipping China offers full-container-load (FCL) shipping supported by competitive carrier contracts and dependable container availability on China–France routes. Our team handles container booking, supervises loading at the origin facility, manages export customs formalities in China, and arranges the ocean leg to your nominated French ports, followed by inland trucking, rail, or barge distribution where required. FCL shipping is ideal for large-volume cargo such as construction materials, industrial and project machinery, complete production lines, household goods, automotive and aerospace components, retail inventory, and bulk textiles that require secure, dedicated, and consistent transportation capacity into France.
For shipments that do not fill an entire container, our less-than-container-load (LCL) service provides a flexible and economical option from China to France. We consolidate multiple consignments at major Chinese ports, arrange ocean transport to primary French and nearby European gateways, and then coordinate customs clearance, deconsolidation, and inland delivery to your consignee. LCL is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, mixed-SKU consignments, aftermarket spare parts, e-commerce orders, samples, and seasonal goods, helping you keep logistics costs under control while still benefiting from professional international freight services across France.

Customs clearance can extend overall transit time, occasionally leading to delays ranging from a few days to several weeks.
