Greece is located at the intersection of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Piraeus Port is the largest port operated by COSCO Shipping in the Mediterranean and the core gateway for Chinese goods to enter the Balkan and Southeast European markets. In 2025, China's exports of electric motors and electrical equipment to Greece will continue to grow, and the high temperature weather in summer will drive the market demand for cooling appliances such as electric fans.
Electric fans belong to ordinary electromechanical products, but exporting to Greece must face three hard thresholds: mandatory CE certification access, ERP energy efficiency label registration, and 24% value-added tax compliance. After the comprehensive upgrade of the EU Customs electronic clearance system in 2026, HS code accuracy, EPREL energy efficiency registration, and WEEE recycling filing have become mandatory customs clearance checks. Andaxun International Logistics is deeply rooted in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Dongguan, with ten years of experience in mechanical and electrical exports. We provide full container load/less than container load (FCL), double clearance tax inclusive, and door-to-door full process custody services to help you directly access the Mediterranean market.
1、 Shenzhen to Greece electric fan sea freight price and delivery time: one ticket, one negotiation, direct to the Mediterranean Sea
We adhere to personalized pricing based on the quantity of goods (full container/bulk), product power range, and shipping time, and match with shipping companies such as MSC and COSCO to provide a one size fits all price: sea freight+domestic miscellaneous fees+Greek import customs clearance+tariffs+24% value-added tax+final delivery, with no hidden charges.
Timeframe reference (Shenzhen Yantian/Guangzhou Nansha/Dongguan Port → Piraeus Port → Greece wide):
|Full container load | 30-42 days | About 25-30 days by sea (the direct route from Shenzhen to Piraeus takes 44 days for slow ships, and about 30 days for fast ships)|
|LCL | 35-45 days | consolidation at the port of origin, unpacking and distribution at Piraeus port, land transportation to Athens, Thessaloniki, etc|
|Door to door | 40-55 days | Covering the entire territory of Greece, including inland cities in the Balkans and some islands|
-Peak season stocking: June to September is the peak season for electric fan shipments, and it is recommended to book shipping 3-4 weeks in advance.
-Policy change: Starting from July 1, 2026, the European Union officially abolished the exemption of import package tariffs for goods with a value ≤ 150 euros and instead imposed a fixed tariff of 3 euros based on the category of goods (transitional period until July 2028). The transportation cost of B2C small packages will significantly increase, and the advantages of full container commercial customs clearance will become more apparent.
Customs duties and value-added tax:
-Tariffs: Greece implements the EU unified tariff policy, and electric fans are classified under HS 8414.51 (table fans, floor fans, etc. with output power ≤ 125W), with a most favored nation tariff rate of 0% -8%. Value of goods (FOB) ≤ 150 euros are exempt from customs duties.
-Value added tax: The standard VAT rate in Greece is 24%, calculated based on the total amount of CIF price plus customs duty.
-Double clearance tax included: Our company fully pays customs duties and 24% value-added tax on behalf of customers, and customers do not need to handle Greek tax declarations on their own!
2、 Customs clearance documents and procedures for sea freight of electric fans from Shenzhen to Greece: verification of four certificates is indispensable
Greek customs strictly follows the EU framework and will comprehensively upgrade the electronic customs clearance system by 2026. All mechanical and electrical products must complete the verification of EORI number, EPREL energy efficiency registration, WEEE recycling number, and EPR packaging law registration.
1. Essential document list (electronic version sent to us for preliminary review):
-Commercial invoice+packing list: in English, indicating the model, HS code, CIF value, and EORI number of both parties
-Certificate of Origin (CO/Form A, enjoying most favored nation treatment)
-Complete set of CE certification: LVD 2014/35/EU+EMC 2014/30/EU test report and DoC conformity declaration
-EPREL Energy Efficiency Label: Mandatory registration in the EU EPREL database for power ≤ 125W, obtaining labels and QR codes
-RoHS testing report: Restriction of harmful substances such as lead and mercury (Directive 2011/65/EU)
-WEEE Recycling Number: Electronic and Electrical Waste Recycling Filing
-European representative information: Name and address of EU authorized representative, printed on packaging and instructions
-EPR Packaging Law Registration: EPR registration is required to be completed before putting packaged goods into the Greek market
2. The full process of customs clearance in Greece in 2026 (handled by our Piraeus cooperative customs clearance agent):
|Advance filing | Assist importers in handling EORI (3-5 working days), WEEE registration (2 weeks), and synchronously obtaining EPREL numbers | 3 weeks before departure|
|Electronic Pre audit | Submit all documents to the EU Customs Electronic System (ICS2) for pre audit 72 hours in advance, and once approved, enter the fast clearance channel | 24 hours before departure|
|Electronic declaration | Officially declared through the Greek customs system, the system automatically compares the validity of EPREL QR code | 1-2 days|
|Tax payment release | Payment of customs duties (if any) and 24% value-added tax on behalf of others, with complete documents released on the same day | Real time|
|End of line delivery | DPD/Greek Post/local truck delivery to Athens, Thessaloniki, Crete and other destinations | 1-3 days|
3、 Shipping packaging requirements for electric fans from Shenzhen to Greece: compression and moisture resistance, three-layer protection
The Mediterranean route experiences high temperatures, high humidity, and heavy salt spray in summer, so electric fan sea transportation must meet the triple standards of "shock resistance, moisture resistance, and rust prevention".
Three layer protection method:
|Inner layer | Bubble pad/pearl cotton wrapped around the body and fan blades, with anti rust oil applied to the motor axis; Fill the shaking gap with EPS foam (margin ≥ 3cm, shaking ≤ 1cm)|
|Middle layer | foam board or air pillow to fill the gap and ensure the fan is fixed. Due to high humidity during sea transportation, desiccants should be placed diagonally inside the outer box (≥ 100g per box), and VCI rust proof bags should be added to metal parts|
|Outer layer | Five layer double anti corrugated cardboard box (compressive strength ≥ 200kg), sealed with "H" letters, tape ≥ 5cm. The outer box is labeled with "Fragile", "Upward", and "Keep Dry" in both Chinese and English. Wooden pallets must have IPPC fumigation label (ISPM 15), and if the label is unclear, they can be returned directly|
2026 EU PPWR Packaging New Regulations Reminder (mandatory implementation on August 12, 2026):
-Total heavy metal content in packaging ≤ 100mg/kg
-Packaging porosity ≤ 50%
-A packaging conformity declaration must be prepared to complete the registration of the Greek EPR packaging law
4、 Attention to Shipping Electric Fans from Shenzhen to Greece: Avoiding the Four Compliance Red Lines
1. Energy efficiency labels and ErP 2026 new regulations (customs clearance deadline)
All electric fans with a power of ≤ 125W must be registered in the EPREL database, and standby power consumption without a screen must be ≤ 0.5W. Starting from July 24, 2026, the EU's new ecological design regulation (EU) 2024/1834 will be fully implemented - energy efficiency assessment will be extended from a single motor to the entire aerodynamic system (motor+fan blades+controller), and the old registration number will become invalid and must be retested. Those who fail to update within the deadline will be refused entry by customs!
2. EORI number and local customs clearance agent (admission ticket threshold)
Non EU entities cannot directly submit customs clearance applications to Greek customs and must entrust local agents holding Greek customs qualifications to handle them. EORI number is an entry ticket, and all goods entering the EU must have a valid EORI number, otherwise they will be directly rejected for declaration. Greek customs suggest applying for pre classification to Greece in advance, and a pre ruling can be issued within 1-2 weeks.
3. Dual registration of WEEE and EPR
Electric fans belong to small electronic appliances and must complete WEEE registration (recycling number) in Greece; The outer packaging must complete EPR packaging registration and pay environmental taxes. For packaging materials weighing over 500kg, EPR obligations will be activated (with no threshold mandatory after 2026).
4. HS code accuracy and ISPM 15 wooden packaging
Greek customs have extremely strict HS code review, and misclassification can trigger inspections and even fines. After the upgrade of the electronic customs clearance system by EU Customs in 2026, the system will directly intelligently compare the declaration code with the TARIC database. All wooden outer packaging must undergo ISPM 15 fumigation treatment and obtain official certification before container departure. Shipping companies do not accept destination port replacements! Customs will randomly open boxes and inspect labels. If there are missing labels or unclear handwriting, they will be returned directly, and high demurrage fees will be incurred.
5. 2026 Customs New Policies and Peak Season Congestion
-ICS2 Phase 2: Ocean freight must complete ENS entry summary declaration (including 6-digit HS code and manufacturer ID) 24 hours before loading at the port of origin. Failure to do so or incomplete data will result in direct container rejection
-Stricter inspections: Greek Customs plans to conduct at least 39300 inspections by 2026, intensifying efforts to combat smuggling and illegal trade
-Island delivery: Delivery to Greek island regions (Crete, Rhodes, etc.) may increase by 1-2 days and requires advance planning
