How Much Does Rail Freight from China to The UK Cost?
Rail freight from China to the UK costs more than $8000 per container. The actual price, however, is determined by the location within China from which it is being sent and the destination in the United Kingdom.
Also, the size of the container matters, as a 20ft container would be cheaper than a 40ft container. The type of container and your products matters as well. To get an accurate quote, contact Bacolod.
How Long Does Rail Freight from China to The UK Take?
The source and destination locations play a vital role in determining the time required for rail freight from China to the UK. However, it takes around 2 to 3 weeks for the block train to reach the British Isles. Some sea freight or air freight may be needed to cross the English Channel, so time estimates vary. However, rail freight can go through the Channel Tunnel as well.
Railway Routes for Freight from China to The UK
The Yiwu-London railway line is the main route that connects China to the UK by train. This 12,000 km railway line passes through Kazakhstan and Russia. An underwater Channel Tunnel connects France and the United Kingdom, and this route uses it.
The London end of the route is located at the DB Eurohub in Barking, East London. From there, another cargo train route can be used to ship your goods across the UK.
FCL and LCL Rail Freight from China to The UK
Bacolod offers to arrange both FCL and LCL rail freight from China to the UK.
A full container load is abbreviated as FCL. This word is used when a complete container of 20 or 40 feet is scheduled for shipping. The key benefit of FCL is that your items are less likely to be mingled with others’.
The abbreviation LCL stands for less than container load. If you only need a portion of a container, you can use LCL to book a section of the container. LCL has the advantage of not requiring you to book an entire container if you do not require it. This saves money on shipping.
