Perfume, the fragrant “liquid gold”, is a popular product in cross-border e-commerce. Yet due to its alcohol content, it is widely recognized as one of the most difficult items in international logistics. 

As Class 3 dangerous goods (flammable liquids), perfume faces many challenges in sea freight export: difficult booking, strict inspection, high packaging requirements and complicated customs clearance. A small mistake can lead to shipment delay, seizure or fines.

With years of experience in dangerous goods transportation, Andaxun International Logistics, relying on the port advantages of Guangzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen — core cities in the Pearl River Delta — has built a reliable sea freight channel for perfume from China to Portugal. 

We offer flexible FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load) options, as well as one-stop full-chain services including booking, customs declaration, ocean freight, DDP customs clearance and door-to-door delivery, ensuring your perfumes arrive safely and smoothly!
