Shipping options from China to Nepal

Air, road and sea freight compared by transit time, cost and cargo type.

Nepal is landlocked, so every China shipment ends with a land leg. Air freight lands in Kathmandu; road freight crosses at Kerung–Rasuwagadhi or Tatopani; sea freight lands at Kolkata or Haldia and moves by rail or road to Birgunj.

The right option depends on urgency, weight, volume, cargo type and season — monsoon landslides can affect the Himalayan road routes.

Key points

01

Air freight

5–10 days; best for urgent, light or high-value cargo.

02

Road freight

15–30 days; good balance of cost and time for most goods.

03

Sea freight

35–55 days; lowest cost for heavy and full-container cargo.

04

Consolidation

Combine suppliers into one shipment to cut cost.

Frequently asked questions

Are duty rates fixed?

No. Nepal's customs tariff and tax rates are set in the annual Finance Act and can change each fiscal year. We confirm the current rate for your HS code when we quote.

Can you handle the import for me?

Yes. Our import service covers documents, customs clearance and delivery, so you do not need to manage each step yourself.
