Description: 

Andaxun specializes in undertaking perfume sea freight from Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Dongguan to Lithuania! Flexible shipping options of FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load) are available. 

We handle Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificates and MSDS on your behalf, strictly follow dangerous goods packaging standards to ensure safety and compliance. Double customs clearance & tax-inclusive direct shipping to Klaipėda Port, with door-to-door delivery. Quotation per shipment, transit time approx. 35–45 days. Make perfume export more worry-free!

The moment your perfume is filled and labeled in your factory in Guangzhou, Dongguan or Shenzhen, its fate is handed over to time. In the next month, it will cross the South China Sea, the Malacca Strait, the Indian Ocean, go around half of Europe, and finally arrive at Klaipėda Port in Lithuania — then, after layers of customs inspections, it can appear on the shelves in Vilnius. This is an adventure spanning ten thousand miles. 

Yet perfume is precisely one of the most "delicate" goods in international sea freight — Class 3 Flammable Liquid Dangerous Goods (UN 1266), facing difficulties in booking, strict inspections, high packaging requirements, and cumbersome customs clearance. A problem in any link may lead to delays at best, or return of goods at worst.

Andaxun International Logistics has focused on dangerous goods sea freight for ten years. We understand perfume, and better understand how to make its cross-border journey safe, efficient and worry-free. From the Pearl River Delta to the Baltic Sea, from FCL to LCL, from booking and customs declaration to tax-inclusive clearance, from port to door — we take charge of the whole process, and you just wait for the goods to arrive.

I. Sea Freight Rate & Transit Time from Shenzhen to Lithuania: Quoted per Shipment, Stable & Reliable

We understand that each client’s cargo is unique — factors such as cargo volume, weight, packaging type, and delivery time requirements will all affect the final transportation cost. Therefore, Andaxun does not adopt fixed pricing, but adheres to a "quotation per shipment" personalized pricing model to tailor the most cost-effective transportation plan for you.

1. Price Advantages

• Tailored Plans: Based on your specific cargo volume (FCL/LCL), perfume brand, and specific ingredients, we match the most suitable shipping company and route (direct or transiting via Hamburg or Rotterdam).

• Contract Shipping Resources: We maintain long-term strategic cooperation with multiple major shipping companies (such as COSCO, MSC, MSK, EMC, OOCL, ONE, etc.), enjoying priority in dangerous goods space. Preferential contract rates are directly passed on to clients.

• Transparent with No Hidden Fees: The quotation includes ocean freight, port surcharges, documentation fees, dangerous goods surcharges, destination port customs clearance and delivery fees (including delivery to inland cities such as Vilnius and Kaunas). Every item of cost is clear and transparent.

2. Time Guarantee

Departing from Pearl River Delta ports (Yantian in Shenzhen / Nansha in Guangzhou / Dongguan Port) to Lithuania’s main port — Klaipėda, as well as inland cities such as Vilnius and Kaunas — our transit time is as follows:

FCL sea freight takes 30-45 days; direct shipment from South China ports to Klaipėda Port takes about 30-40 days, and transshipment takes about 45-55 days.

LCL sea freight takes 35-50 days, including origin consolidation and destination devanning time; shipment from Shenzhen to Kaunas takes about 47-52 days.

Door-to-door full service takes 40-60 days, including customs clearance and local delivery in Lithuania (such as Vilnius, Kaunas, etc.).

Note: Sea freight time may be affected by weather, shipping company scheduling, port congestion and other force majeure factors. During peak seasons (April-October every year), freight rates are higher and space is tight; it is recommended to book 3-4 weeks in advance. Klaipėda Port usually provides a free storage period of 3-7 days; overtime will incur port detention fees.*

II. Customs Clearance Documents & Process for Perfume Sea Freight from Shenzhen to Lithuania: Professional Guidance, Worry-Free Throughout

Exporting perfume to Lithuania requires complete and compliant documentation. As an EU member state, Lithuania implements a unified EU tariff policy, and its customs conducts extremely strict inspections on imported goods. Missing or non-standard documents are the main cause of delays. Andaxun’s professional operation team provides full supervision for you:

1. Required Documents for Booking (Dangerous Goods Only)

Perfume export cannot be handled as general cargo! The following core dangerous goods documents must be prepared:

• MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet): Detailedly explains the characteristics of the goods and emergency handling plans, which must be bilingual (Chinese/English), clearly indicating the flash point and UN 1266 number. Most perfumes have a flash point ≤ 60℃, belonging to Class 3 dangerous goods.

• Dangerous Goods Transport Condition Appraisal: Certifies that the goods meet the requirements for dangerous goods transportation.

• Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate: Applied for at the local customs (former inspection and quarantine bureau), proving that the packaging complies with international maritime dangerous goods regulations. This is a mandatory qualification for the shipper and cannot be handled by the forwarder on behalf of the shipper.

• Limited Quantity Certificate: If exported in limited quantities (single bottle ≤ 100ml, outer carton gross weight ≤ 30kg), you can apply for the LQ channel to simplify procedures and reduce costs.

• Dangerous Goods Declaration: Declare dangerous goods to the maritime safety administration to obtain loading permission.

2. Export Customs Declaration Documents

• Commercial Invoice: Must indicate the HS code (perfume is classified as 3303.00), FOB value, freight, and insurance premium, and be signed and stamped by the seller. Under-reporting is strictly prohibited; a deviation exceeding 5% may result in fines.

• Packing List: Detailed to the gross/net weight, volume, and shipping marks of each carton (consistent with the outer packaging).

• Sales Contract and Declaration Elements.

• Customs Declaration Power of Attorney.

3. Destination Port Customs Clearance Preparation

We cooperate with experienced local customs brokers in Lithuania to pre-review customs clearance documents to ensure:

• EORI Number: The importer must register an EORI number in the EU, which is a prerequisite for customs clearance.

• Commercial Invoice: Must indicate the HS code, FOB value, and country of origin.、Bill of Lading (B/L): Carefully check the consignor/consignee information, cargo description, destination port, etc., to ensure consistency with customs clearance documents.

• Certificate of Origin: It is recommended to apply for the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) Certificate of Origin Form A to enjoy EU tariff preferences.

• CPNP Notification: As a cosmetic, perfume must complete CPNP registration on the EU Cosmetics Notification Portal, and the product information must be consistent with the physical label.

• Value-Added Tax (VAT): Lithuania’s standard VAT rate is 21%, calculated as (Cargo Value + Freight + Duty) × 21%.

• Ingredient Compliance: The EU has clear labeling requirements for 26 allergenic fragrances; please confirm in advance that the product meets the requirements of REACH regulations.

III. Packaging Requirements for Perfume Sea Freight from Shenzhen to Lithuania: Strictly Standardized, Four-Layer Protection

Perfume is classified as UN 1266 Class 3 Flammable Liquid. Improper packaging may cause leakage, contamination, or even safety accidents. Please strictly follow the following four-layer protection system:

First Layer: Inner Packaging Sealing

• Each perfume bottle must have a tightly fastened cap and be tightly wrapped with anti-static bubble film or foam to prevent loosening during transportation.

• The bottle mouth can be wrapped with 3-5 layers of plastic wrap to enhance sealing.

• The volume of a single piece is recommended to be controlled within a safe range; for limited quantity shipping, it is recommended that a single bottle be ≤ 100ml.

Second Layer: Leak-Proof Bag

• Place the wrapped perfume bottles into leak-proof plastic bags (double self-sealing bags are recommended).

• In case of accidental breakage, this layer can prevent liquid leakage and contamination of other goods.

Third Layer: Absorption & Cushioning

• Place sufficient absorbent materials (such as vermiculite, absorbent pads, diatomite) in each independent box to absorb accidentally leaked liquid.

• Fill the gaps in the box with air pillows or foam; the thickness of the cushioning layer is recommended to be no less than 2-3cm to ensure the bottle is fixed and does not shake inside the box.

• The proportion of filling materials shall not be less than 30%.

Fourth Layer: UN-Certified Outer Carton & Labeling

• Outer Carton: Must use UN-certified dangerous goods packaging boxes (marked with 4G/Y145/S/...), and the box body must be intact.

• UN Mark: The outer carton must be printed with the UN mark, which is completely consistent with the information on the Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate.

• Limited Quantity Label: If shipped in limited quantities (LQ), the outer carton must be affixed with an LQ limited quantity label (white background with black diamond border), and the gross weight of each outer carton shall not exceed 30kg.

• Dangerous Goods Label: Clearly affix the "Class 3 Flammable Liquid" dangerous goods label (red diamond with flame) and UN 1266 number.

• Transportation Marks: Mark warning signs such as "Keep Upright", "Avoid Sunlight", and "Fragile".

• Shipping Marks: Mark the destination port, bill of lading number, consignee information, quantity, weight, country of origin, etc., for easy identification.

Pallet Requirements (If Palletized)

• Wooden pallets must have an IPPC-certified fumigation certificate, complying with the ISPM 15 standard.

• Cargo must be neatly stacked without exceeding the edge of the pallet.

• For multi-layer stacking, use packing straps to reinforce to prevent tilting during transshipment.

IV. Notes & Special Reminders

1. Risk of Concealing Dangerous Goods

Perfume cannot be handled as general cargo! Once inspected by the maritime safety administration or customs for concealment or underreporting, you will face not only heavy fines (usually thousands to tens of thousands of US dollars) but also possible criminal liability. Please provide true and accurate MSDS and Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate.

2. Limited Quantity Exemption Benefits (Limited Quantities)

If your perfume is in small-capacity packaging (such as 30ml or 50ml travel size) and the inner packaging meets strict standards, you can apply for the LQ limited quantity channel. 

According to the IMDG Code, if each inner package does not exceed a certain volume and the gross weight of each outer carton does not exceed 30kg, the cost of booking and warehousing is usually much lower than that of pure dangerous goods, and some routes do not require special dangerous goods ships. 90% of small and medium-sized foreign trade merchants do not know this, and thus pay expensive dangerous goods freight unnecessarily.

3. Flash Point Test

The flash point of perfume is usually ≤ 60℃, belonging to Class 3 dangerous goods. If the flash point is higher than 60℃, it may not be classified as dangerous goods, but most perfumes have a flash point between 23-60℃. Be sure to confirm the flash point information in the MSDS.

4. Declared Value & Tariffs

Lithuania’s VAT rate is 21%, and the tariff rate varies by HS code (usually 0%-10%). The declared value must be reasonable; under-reporting is strictly prohibited, and a deviation exceeding 5% may result in fines. It is recommended to check the tariff rate corresponding to the specific HS code through the EU TARIC database (ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs).

5. Free Storage Period at Destination Port

Klaipėda Port usually provides a free storage period of 3-7 days. Please communicate with the consignee in advance to avoid heavy port detention fees (usually charged per day) due to no one picking up the goods after arrival.

6. Cargo Insurance

It is recommended to purchase marine all-risk insurance to cover the risk of cargo loss or damage. The premium is usually 0.2%-0.5% of the cargo value, and the insurance coverage should include the full risk from the place of shipment to the place of receipt.

7. Wooden Packaging Requirements

If wooden pallets are used, they must have an IPPC-certified fumigation certificate; failure to affix the certificate may face fumigation fees or the risk of return of goods.
