Assist you in going global in compliance and seizing the European eyewear market!

Although Luxembourg is small, it is the true logistics hub of Western Europe - it can be reached by land in 2-3 hours via Antwerp or Rotterdam ports, and can quickly radiate to the markets of Germany, France, and Belgium. However, the export of eyewear products to Luxembourg is fundamentally different from ordinary goods: sunglasses and optical frames are considered personal protective equipment (PPE) under EU regulations and must pass CE certification (sunglasses EN ISO 12312-1, frames EN ISO 12870) and comply with REACH regulations (metal frames must pass nickel release testing EN 16128:2025). The Luxembourg National Standards Agency (ILAS) and customs jointly enforce the law and have the right to directly return or destroy non compliant products.

Andaxun International Logistics has been deeply involved in the export of sensitive goods from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Dongguan for many years. We provide one-stop services such as full container load/less than container load (FCL), double clearance with tax included, and door-to-door service to help you go global in compliance and efficiently seize the Western European market.

1、 Shenzhen to Luxembourg eyewear sea freight price and delivery time: inland transit line, one ticket, one negotiation

Luxembourg does not have a direct seaport, and goods are transshipped through the Belgian port of Antwerp (priority, approximately 200 kilometers from Luxembourg, 2-3 hours by land) or the Dutch port of Rotterdam (approximately 350 kilometers from Luxembourg, 3-4 hours by land). The voyage from Shenzhen to Antwerp Port takes about 28-35 days, and the door-to-door journey takes about 35-50 days.

One fixed price package: ocean freight+domestic trailer customs clearance+Luxembourg import customs clearance+customs duties (exempted for goods with a value ≤ 150 euros)+17% value-added tax+final delivery. The reference price for full container load in 2026 is approximately 12000-15000 yuan per container for 20GP.

|FCL | 35-50 days | Direct flight from Shenzhen to Antwerp, land transportation to Luxembourg takes 2-3 hours|

|LCL | 38-50 days | Antwerp unpacking and distribution, land transportation to the entire Luxembourg region|

|DDP Door to Door | 35-50 Days | Coverage of Luxembourg City and the Entire Territory|

It is recommended to book shipping 3-4 weeks in advance during the peak season (June September). Antwerp Port has a 7-day free storage period, with an overdue period of approximately USD 60-100 per container per day.

Luxembourg tax points:

-Tariffs: The EU unified tariff applies, with a rate of 0% -17% for glasses. At present, goods with a value ≤ 150 euros are exempt from tariffs, and this exemption will be officially cancelled from July 1, 2026.

-Value added tax: Luxembourg standard tax rate of 17% (the lowest in the EU), calculated based on CIF+tariffs.

-VAT deferral: Those with a Luxembourg tax number can apply for deferral, but the payment is not made during customs clearance and is deducted quarterly.

2、 Shenzhen to Luxembourg glasses sea freight customs clearance documents: CE certification is the core "admission ticket"

1. CE certification - mandatory access to PPE categories

Sunglasses are personal protective equipment (PPE) and must be certified according to EN ISO 12312-1:2022. The testing items include lens transmittance, UV resistance, impact resistance (6mm steel ball 45 meters/second impact), flame retardant testing, etc. The lens must be labeled with the filter category (0-4 categories). The optical frame is certified according to EN ISO 12870.

-The manufacturer shall issue a Declaration of Conformity (DoC), and the testing report must come from a qualified laboratory

-The CE mark must be clearly printed on the product body or packaging, and the technical documents must be kept for at least 10 years

2. Nickel release testing - Key focus of new regulations in 2026

EN 16128:2025 will be released in October 2025, replacing the 2015 version, and will become a national standard by the end of April 2026. Nickel release limit: 0.5 micrograms per square centimeter per week. The new version clarifies the distinction between coating and migration testing.

1. Core document list (pre reviewed by our company):

-Commercial invoice (in English, including 10 digit HS code, CIF value, and EORI number of both parties)

-Packing list, certificate of origin, original bill of lading

-CE certificate and testing report (EN ISO 12312-1, EN ISO 12870)

3、 Shipping packaging requirements for glasses from Shenzhen to Luxembourg: three-layer protection, suitable for multiple transfers

Glasses are delicate and fragile items that require multiple loading and unloading during inland transit, and must be shock resistant, pressure resistant, and moisture resistant.

|Inner layer | Wrap with soft cloth or eyeglass bag and place it in the lens box. The lens is covered with protective film and sponge pad tightly adheres to the contour of the lens|

|Middle layer filling | The box is filled with sufficient cushioning materials (foam, bubble film, pearl wool), and all mirror boxes are fixed without shaking|

|Outer reinforcement | Five layer double anti corrugated cardboard box, sealed with the letter "I", tape ≥ 5cm; labeled with "Fragile", "Upward", and "Keep Dry" in both Chinese and English|

Wooden packaging must have an IPPC fumigation label (ISPM 15). Unclear or missing labels may result in return. Single box ≤ 25kg; desiccant inside the box; The batch number corresponds exactly to the invoice information.

4、 Shenzhen to Luxembourg Glasses Shipping Five Compliance Red Lines

1. CE certification is a hard threshold (the biggest difference from regular goods)

Sunglasses and frames belong to the PPE category in the European Union, and those without CE certification will face customs detention. It is recommended to initiate the certification process 2-3 months in advance.

2. Nickel release testing is a key focus of the new regulations (effective by the end of April 2026)

EN 16128:2025 will officially become the national standard of Luxembourg, and metal mirror frames must pass testing with a nickel release rate not exceeding 0.5 micrograms per square centimeter per week.

3. Luxembourg's 17% VAT deferral - low tax rate advantage

Luxembourg's VAT is the lowest in the European Union, and having a local tax number allows for deferred payment. It is not actually paid during customs clearance and can be deducted quarterly, effectively releasing cash flow. Without a tax number, our company can clear on behalf of you.

Starting from July 1, 2026, tariff exemptions will be cancelled

The 150 euro tariff exemption has been officially cancelled, and it is recommended to switch to the full container load/less than container load DDP commercial customs clearance model in advance.

5. ICS2 mandatory declaration (24 hours before departure)

All goods must complete ENS declaration 24 hours before the departure of the ship, and LCL must be split by passenger. All document information must be completely consistent.
