Perfume, known as “flowing fragrance”, is a popular product in cross-border e-commerce. However, due to its alcohol content, it is classified as Class 3 Flammable Liquid Dangerous Goods (UN 1266). 

Sea transport faces high thresholds for booking, strict inspection, rigorous packaging standards and complicated customs clearance procedures. Any mistake in one link may result in shipment delay, return or fines.

Slovakia is a landlocked country in Central Europe, an important industrial and transportation hub. Cargo is usually shipped to major European gateway ports such as Hamburg (Germany) and Gdansk (Poland), then transported by rail or truck to Bratislava, Kosice and other inland cities.

Andaxun International Logistics, based in Guangzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen, has years of experience in dangerous goods handling and provides a full-chain sea freight route for perfumes from China to Slovakia. 

We offer flexible FCL and LCL options, one-stop booking, customs declaration, ocean shipping, tax-inclusive customs clearance and door-to-door delivery to ensure your goods arrive safely and efficiently in the heart of Europe.
