Frequently asked questions about this lane

How long does a container take from Shenzhen (Yantian) to Algeciras?

The ocean leg takes about 26 days from departure to arrival. Add the documentation cut-off before departure (usually three working days) and handling at the port of arrival.

Do you also handle customs and door delivery?

Yes. Export declaration, import declaration, pre- and on-carriage and cargo insurance are added when you ask for them; the quote then shows every cost item.
