The Port of Koper in Slovenia is one of the most important container hubs in the northern Adriatic Sea. Compared to bypassing Nordic ports, transiting through Koper Port to Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic and other places can save 5-7 days of transportation time, making it a natural springboard for Chinese goods to enter the Central and Southeast European markets.
Eyewear products exported to Slovenia are fundamentally different from ordinary goods - sunglasses and optical frames belong to the category of personal protective equipment (PPE) under EU regulations and must pass strict CE certification. The metal frame components must pass the nickel release test. Andaxun International Logistics provides full container load/consolidation, double clearance and tax inclusive, and door-to-door one-stop services.

2、 Shenzhen to Slovenia Glasses Shipping Customs Clearance Requirements: CE+REACH+Slovenian Label
Slovenian Customs is under the jurisdiction of the Financial Authority, and importers must hold an EORI number to clear customs.
CE certification: Sunglasses are tested for transmittance, UV resistance, impact resistance (6mm steel ball 45m/s impact), sweat resistance, and the lens must be labeled with filter category (0-4 categories). Mirror frame inspection for dimensional tolerance, nose bridge flexion, and lens retention ability.
The new standard EN 16128:2025 for nickel release will become the Slovenian national standard by the end of April 2026 at the latest, with a limit of 0.5 μ g · cm ⁻² · week ⁻¹. The new standard specifies that coating testing is not a screening test.
Slovenian language labeling is a mandatory requirement: the label must be in Slovenian and include the product name, manufacturer/importer information, country of origin, CE mark, instructions for use, and safety warning. Using only English will be deemed non compliant.

3、 Shipping packaging requirements for glasses from Shenzhen to Slovenia: Three layers in place to accommodate multiple transfers
Glasses are precision products that are prone to damage during sea transportation and inland loading and unloading. They must be shock resistant, pressure resistant, and moisture resistant.
|Inner layer | wrapped in soft cloth or eyeglass bag and placed in the lens box, the lens is covered with protective film, and the vacuum box is attached to the lens|
|Middle layer | filled with sufficient cushioning materials (foam, bubble film, pearl cotton), and the mirror box is fixed without shaking|
|Outer layer | Five layer double anti corrugated cardboard box, sealed with "work" letter, tape ≥ 5cm; labeled with "fragile", "upward" and "Keep Dry" in both Chinese and English|

4、 Five compliance red lines for shipping glasses from Shenzhen to Slovenia by sea
1. CE certification cannot be skipped: it will be deducted upon arrival at the port without CE certification. It is recommended to start 2-3 months in advance.
2. Nickel release testing will take effect in April 2026: EN 16128:2025 will become the Slovenian national standard, with a limit of 0.5 μ g · cm ⁻² · week ⁻¹.
3. Slovenian language labels have a hard threshold: Slovenia is one of the few EU countries that requires full label translation into Slovenian, and using only English will be considered non compliant.
4. EORI number is a must-have for customs clearance: if the value is ≥ 22 euros, the recipient's EORI code must be provided. Without a number, customs clearance is not possible.
Starting from July 1, 2026, tariff exemptions will be cancelled: it is recommended to switch to full container DDP mode in advance.
