In today's globalized world, the demand for high-quality lighting solutions has grown significantly, especially in regions known for their manufacturing capabilities. Zhongshan, located in Guangdong Province, China, is one of them and is famous for its mass production of lighting fixtures. To bridge the gap between this manufacturing powerhouse and the European market, Senghor Logistics provides seamless and efficient sea freight services, ensuring businesses and consumers receive products in pristine condition on time.
Zhongshan is known as the "Lighting Capital of China" due to its numerous lighting manufacturers and suppliers. The city produces a variety of lighting products, from residential and commercial lamps to innovative LED solutions. The quality and variety of these products have made Zhongshan a preferred source for international buyers, particularly those in Europe looking for aesthetically pleasing and functional lighting solutions.
From January to July 2024, Zhongshan's total import and export volume was 162.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.9%, 6.7 percentage points higher than the national average, ranking third in the Pearl River Delta.
Data shows that the city's general trade imports and exports were 104.59 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.5%, accounting for 64.3% of the city's foreign trade imports and exports. In terms of export commodities, household appliances and lighting have become the dominant force.
Senghor Logistics has become a trusted partner for European and American customers, specializing in international logistics services such as sea freight and air freight. With a deep understanding of the complexity of global trade, Senghor Logistics provides tailor-made solutions to meet the specific needs of customers. Our company has expertise in handling cargo from Zhongshan to various destinations in Europe, ensuring the entire process is smooth, efficient and cost-effective.
Senghor Logistics can provide door-to-door service for sea freight from China to Europe. More than 10 years of experience have given us a wealth of knowledge about customs clearance and delivery in Europe, so you can experience that everything goes smoothly from the beginning of communication with Senghor Logistics, the quotes we provide, to handling the shipment for you.
Sea freight remains one of the most economical and environmentally friendly methods of shipping goods over long distances. Senghor Logistics capitalizes on this advantage by offering a comprehensive range of sea freight services, including:
Other suitable transport methods for shipping lighting from China to Europe: rail freight and air freight.
Senghor Logistics streamlines the shipping process, ensuring efficiency and transparency at every stage. The process usually involves:
1. Consultation and Planning: Understand customer requirements and plan shipment accordingly. This includes selecting the shipping company, determining the best route, and arranging shipments to meet delivery schedules.
2. Documentation and Compliance: Handle all necessary documents, including customs declarations, export licenses, and shipping lists. This requires your lighting supplier and you to fully cooperate to provide the required documents to the freight forwarder for review and help submit. A professional freight forwarder will fully understand the shipping documents and requirements of various shipping companies, customs brokers, and destination ports. Senghor Logistics ensures compliance with international trade regulations and clearly understands the import requirements in Europe to avoid any delays or complications.
3. Loading and Shipment: Coordinate the loading of goods and ensure that all items are safely packaged and protected. Since some lighting products may be fragile, we will ask suppliers to pack them carefully and improve the packaging quality; we will also remind the loaders to be more careful when loading the containers, and if necessary, we will take reinforcement measures.
At the same time, it is recommended that you purchase freight insurance, which can greatly ensure the safety of goods and reduce losses.
5. Delivery and Unloading: Ensure timely delivery to designated European ports and coordinate the unloading process. The destination delivery of a full container will be faster than that of a bulk cargo, because the entire container of FCL contains the goods of the same customer, while the goods of multiple customers share the container and need to be deconstructed before they can be delivered separately.
4. Tracking and Communication: Provide customers with real-time tracking information and update it regularly. This transparency enables customers to monitor the progress of their shipments and make informed decisions. Each shipping container has a corresponding container number and a corresponding status update on the shipping company's website. Our customer service will follow up for you.

Yes. As freight forwarders, we will organize all the importing processes for customers, including contacting exporters, making documents, loading and unloading, transportation, customs clearance and delivery etc., helping customers complete their import business smoothly, safely and efficiently.
The customs clearance requirements of each country are different. Usually, the most basic documents for customs clearance at the port of destination require our bill of lading, packing list and invoice to clear customs.
Some countries also need to make some certificates to do customs clearance, which can reduce or exempt customs duties. For example, Australia needs to apply for a China-Australia Certificate.
