Shipping and customs from the factory to Europe
Fashion accessories are small and light for their value, and that decides how they should travel. Jewellery, hair clips and keychains can fly when time matters; bags, hats and slippers are bulkier and usually go by sea or rail; mixed orders are packed in cartons by SKU so they can be put away quickly.
If you want to import fashion accessories to Europe without dealing with customs yourself, we ship from the factory to Poland, clear customs here and deliver to your shop, warehouse, 3PL or Amazon fulfilment centre. Our offers show prices delivered to your address, so you know your landed cost before you order.
Transport options from the factory
| Mode | Transit to Poland | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sea freight (FCL) | 25–45 days, the longer end of the range | Seasonal programmes for chains; slippers, bags and hats in full containers at the lowest cost per piece |
| Rail freight | 25–45 days, the shorter end of the range | Mixed orders where you want a balance of cost and speed |
| Sea or rail groupage (LCL) | 25–45 days | A few cartons or pallets from one or several factories, shared container space |
| Air freight | 7–12 days | Jewellery, hair accessories, keychains and sunglasses, urgent reorders before a season or a holiday peak |
| Express courier | 7–14 days | Samples, pre-production samples and small parcels |
Transit times are estimates and can change with the season and route availability. Before the factory holidays in late January–February and ahead of the Christmas season, space fills up early.

Frequently asked questions
Is air freight worth it for accessories?
Often, for jewellery, hair clips and keychains: they weigh little per piece, so air adds a small amount to the unit cost and saves weeks. For slippers, bags and hats, which take up volume, sea or rail is usually the better choice.
Do I pay import VAT?
No, we import the goods. EU business customers then receive an invoice with reverse charge; Polish customers are invoiced with Polish VAT.
What does DDP delivery in Europe mean in your offers?
Delivered Duty Paid: the price includes freight, customs duty and clearance to your address. VAT is shown separately according to your country and status.
How much is the customs duty?
It depends on the tariff code of each product: costume jewellery, leather goods, textiles, footwear and sunglasses all fall under different headings. We calculate it in the offer.
Can goods be packed ready for my shop or marketplace?
Yes. Items can arrive on display cards or in bags with EAN labels, packed by SKU, so they go to the shelf or a fulfilment centre without repacking. Marketplace carton labels are agreed before shipment.
Do you ship to the UK and Switzerland?
Yes. We arrange export documents from the EU and delivery with duties prepaid where possible.
