News - Fuxin International Logistics

As the European e-commerce peak season approaches, Fuxin International Logistics' UK self-owned bonded warehouse has completed a new round of expansion. After this expansion, the UK warehouse exceeds 15,000㎡, with daily drop-shipping capacity raised to 8,000 orders, better meeting the warehousing and fulfillment needs of cross-border sellers and brand exporters.

The UK warehouse is located in a central England logistics hub, within 2–3 hours' drive of Birmingham, Manchester and London, covering the whole UK. It is equipped with modern racking, automated sorting and a WMS, supporting inbound, QC, labeling, relabeling, drop-shipping and returns.

Fuxin's European warehousing head said: 'The UK is a key pillar of Fuxin's European footprint. This expansion is not just area growth but an upgrade of service capability. We hope that through overseas warehouses + local delivery networks, we can compress local EU delivery to 1–3 days and improve end-consumer experience.'

Currently, Fuxin operates nine self-owned bonded warehouses in the UK, France, Germany and Poland, with a total area exceeding 80,000㎡, forming a warehousing and logistics network covering Western, Central and Eastern Europe, strongly supporting Chinese enterprises going global.

In H1 2026, China–Europe rail volumes continued to grow. Statistics show over 9,000 trains ran in H1, up about 12% YoY. However, border transshipment capacity, European rail congestion and empty-container allocation remain the main bottlenecks constraining capacity release.

On pricing, Q1 rail rates were relatively stable; from Q2, driven by recovering European demand and rising ocean rates, some routes rose 10%–15%. In H2, before the traditional peak, rail capacity is expected to stay tight and rates likely to remain high and volatile.

Fuxin advises customers with rail shipments to book 2–3 weeks ahead and build multi-channel alternatives (air, sea) to cope with possible space tightness and transit fluctuation. Fuxin holds stable long-term bookings on multiple China–Europe rail routes, offering customers priority protection.

The EU Battery Regulation has officially taken effect, imposing stricter compliance requirements on batteries and battery-containing products entering the EU market. Exporters should focus on:

1. Labeling and disclosure:Battery products must be labeled with capacity, chemical composition, recycling information, carbon footprint, etc.; incomplete information may affect customs clearance.

2. Recycling and reuse:Manufacturers must bear battery recycling responsibility and consider recyclability in product design.

3. Carbon footprint declaration:Some battery categories will gradually introduce carbon footprint declaration requirements, and companies need to build data collection capabilities in advance.

4. Conformity assessment:Relevant battery products must undergo conformity assessment and bear the CE mark, and technical files must be retained for inspection.

Fuxin reminds battery-product customers to confirm pre-shipment compliance with the latest regulations, including MSDS, UN38.3, air/sea identification reports, and to choose a logistics partner qualified for dangerous goods.

A domestic smart-home brand faced long delivery, high return rates and poor experience when entering the UK. Through Fuxin, it adopted a combo of 'air first-leg + UK local warehouse + local courier'.

After implementation, average UK delivery dropped from 15 to 7 days, with 3–5 days to some cities. Meanwhile, the local warehouse enables fast returns, cutting return rate ~30% and lifting repurchase.

The brand's manager said: 'Fuxin not only solved our logistics problem, but through the UK local warehouse gave us the ability to compete with European local sellers.'

Fuxin's UK line covers air, sea, rail and multi-channel, offering flexible door-to-door, FBA and overseas-warehouse solutions to help more Chinese brands go global efficiently.

In 2026, the European cross-border e-commerce market is undergoing profound change. Combining industry data and customer practice, Fuxin Research Institute summarizes five key trends:

1. Rising compliance thresholds:From product certification, VAT, and EPR to packaging regulations, compliance has become the fundamental threshold for entering the European market.

2. Localized fulfillment as standard:The overseas warehouse + local courier model helps sellers improve delivery speed and reduce return costs.

3. Multi-channel sales as the norm:Sellers no longer rely on a single platform; multi-channel presence across Amazon, eBay, independent sites, and offline retail has become mainstream.

4. Green logistics in focus:European consumers and businesses are demanding more and more from low-carbon logistics and sustainable packaging.

5. Upgraded logistics partner role:Logistics providers are transforming from mere transport executors into comprehensive supply-chain partners that help enterprises achieve compliance, cost reduction, and speed.

Fuxin will keep investing in European local networks and digital capability to support Chinese sellers' steady growth in Europe.

Fuxin International Logistics' self-developed logistics management system MyLink 3.0 is officially launched. Building on order management, tracking and cost query, it adds AI trajectory prediction, automatic anomaly alerts and multi-platform dashboards.

The AI prediction uses historical transport data and real-time node info to give more accurate ETA and warn of delay risk in advance, helping customers adjust inventory and sales plans.

Also, MyLink 3.0 improves mobile experience; customers can check status, download documents and contact support anytime via phone. The head of Fuxin Digital Center said: 'We want technology to make logistics more transparent and predictable.'

UK HMRC recently tightened requirements on import VAT filing and payment. For sellers and logistics providers using DDP, key changes:

1. Clear payment responsibility:Under DDP terms, the logistics provider must ensure that VAT and duties are correctly declared and paid promptly; otherwise clearance may be affected.

2. Complete declaration documents:Commercial invoices, packing lists, HS codes, EORI/VAT numbers, and other information must be accurate.

3. Record retention requirements:Relevant documents and tax payment records must be retained for the required number of years for HMRC verification.

Fuxin has a self-owned UK clearance team familiar with the latest HMRC requirements, providing DDP VAT payment, filing and record-keeping as a one-stop service to help sellers operate compliantly in the UK.

Entering H2 2026, the European ocean market faces multiple variables. On one hand, pre-Christmas peak stocking lifts volume; on the other, the Red Sea situation, port congestion and carrier capacity allocation remain uncertain.

Historically, Q3 is often a window for rate increases on Europe routes, with some routes up 20%–40% vs H1. Customers with ocean needs are advised to:

1. Confirm space 3-4 weeks in advance to avoid peak-season space shortages;
2. Establish backup options such as air and rail to diversify risk;
3. Sign long-term agreements with logistics providers to lock in base freight rates.

Fuxin maintains long-term cooperation with multiple carriers, offering stable Europe-route space and flexible multimodal solutions.

A machinery manufacturer needed to export a batch of production-line equipment from China to its German factory. The equipment was large, heavy and demanding on handling and transport; the customer wanted to control cost and ensure on-time delivery.

Fuxin customized a door-to-door plan of 'sea FCL + German local clearance + special truck delivery'. Through sensible loading reinforcement, optimized destination handling and local truck scheduling, the customer's overall logistics cost dropped ~20% vs the original plan, with the project delivery cycle effectively secured.

The customer's project manager said: 'Fuxin not only has competitive pricing, but more importantly the whole process is controllable, which gives us peace of mind.'

For cross-border e-commerce, last-mile delivery directly affects satisfaction and repurchase. Compared with direct shipment from China, the overseas warehouse + local courier model has three advantages:

1. Fast transit:Local European delivery typically arrives within 1-3 days, greatly improving the customer experience.

2. Low cost:Bulk first-leg stocking lowers per-unit freight, and local courier prices are far below international express.

3. Easy returns handling:Local warehouses can quickly receive returns, perform quality inspection, and restock, reducing cross-border return costs.

Fuxin's self-owned warehouses in the UK, France, Germany and Poland connect with DPD, DHL, GLS, UPS, Hermes, Royal Mail and other local couriers, enabling efficient fulfillment for sellers.

With nearly 20 years in China–Europe logistics, full-link self-operation and stable service quality, Fuxin International Logistics recently received the 'Recommended China–Europe Logistics Provider Brand of 2026' awarded by an industry body.

The selection evaluated network coverage, capacity resources, digital capability, customer reputation and compliance. Fuxin's nine self-owned bonded warehouses in the UK/France/Germany/Poland, multi-channel China–Europe capacity and MyLink digital system won recognition.

Fuxin said the honor is both encouragement and responsibility; it will continue investing in European local networks and service capability to create greater value for customers.

After the update of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), stricter requirements apply to product packaging entering the EU. Exporters should note:

1. Recyclability:Packaging design should facilitate recycling and reduce the use of composite materials.

2. Minimize packaging:Avoid over-packaging; packaging weight and volume should match the product protection needs.

3. Recycled material ratio:Some packaging must contain a certain proportion of recyclable material.

4. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR):Companies must register packaging EPR in the country of sale and fulfill recycling obligations.

Fuxin reminds customers that assessing and adjusting packaging early is not only a compliance requirement but also helps lower transport cost and improve brand image.

After entering the European market, a domestic apparel brand faced fast seasonal replenishment, high inventory-turnover pressure and high return rates. Fuxin designed a flexible supply-chain plan of 'air quick-replenishment + European overseas warehouse distribution + local courier'.

Through this plan, the brand can quickly replenish in peak season, while in off-season it bulk-stocks to the overseas warehouse via sea and rail; overall inventory turnover improved 25% and logistics cost dropped 15%. Meanwhile, the local warehouse supports fast returns, raising customer satisfaction.

The brand's operations manager said: 'Fuxin's plan gave us more flexible supply-chain responsiveness in the European market.'

In the past, the core task of China–Europe logistics providers was 'get the goods there'. Today, as Chinese companies shift from traditional trade to brand globalization, the provider's role is upgrading:

1. Compliance advisor:Help companies navigate complex European regulations, certification, and tax requirements.

2. Supply-chain optimizer:Through overseas warehouses, multi-channel capacity, and digital systems, help enterprises reduce costs and improve efficiency.

3. Local partners:Provide local customs clearance, warehousing, delivery, returns/exchanges, and other services to enhance the end-customer experience.

Fuxin International Logistics always puts customer needs first, continuously enhancing full-link capability to be a reliable partner for Chinese companies going global in Europe.
