Croatian Import Requirements:

Shipbuilding Components to Rijeka: A maritime company in Rijeka sourced 350+ parts from 7 Chinese cities (Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo, Tianjin, Wuhan, Qingdao), including steel plates, navigation systems, and engine parts. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 4 days, shipped via CIF terms to Port of Rijeka in a 40ft container, and coordinated rail transport to their shipyard. The shipment arrived in 33 days, saving 31% on shipping costs compared to individual deliveries.

Tourism Equipment to Split: A travel company needed hotel furniture from Foshan, water sports gear from Yiwu, and electronics from Shenzhen for their Split resorts. We consolidated the goods, shipped via FOB terms to Port of Split in an LCL container, and arranged delivery to their facilities. The shipment cleared Croatian Customs in 1.5 days, arriving 35 days after pickup—meeting their pre-season opening deadline.

Medical Supplies to Zagreb: A hospital in Zagreb required surgical instruments from Beijing and diagnostic equipment from Shenzhen for their new ward.
