Air, sea and Middle Corridor rail to Turkey, Europe and the Middle East. We manage your exports end-to-end — factory gate to final destination.
The Middle Corridor (Trans-Caspian International Transport Route) runs from China through Kazakhstan, across the Caspian Sea by ferry, through Azerbaijan and Georgia to Turkey — then onward to Europe by road. It bypasses Russia and Belarus entirely, a critical advantage since 2022 sanctions disrupted the northern rail route.
Transit from Shanghai to Istanbul: 12–18 days by rail. From Istanbul, goods continue to any European destination within 3–5 days by road. Canxansa manages the complete multimodal chain. Learn more about China to Europe via Turkey.
Express and standard air cargo from Shanghai (PVG), Beijing (PEK), Guangzhou (CAN) and Shenzhen (SZX). Best for time-sensitive, high-value or small-volume shipments. Door-to-door including customs clearance.
Russia-free rail from China via Kazakhstan, Caspian Sea ferry, Azerbaijan and Georgia to Turkey — then onward to Europe by road. 12–18 days to Istanbul. Faster than sea, significantly cheaper than air.
FCL and LCL ocean freight from Shanghai, Ningbo, Guangzhou and Shenzhen via the Suez Canal to Turkey, European ports and the Middle East. Most cost-effective option for large consignments.
Combined rail, sea and road solutions for specific cargo types and budgets. Rail to Turkey then road into Europe. Sea to a Gulf hub then onward by air or road. We design the most efficient chain for your shipment.
Air is fastest (3–8 days door-to-door) but most expensive — suited for high-value or time-sensitive cargo. Rail via the Middle Corridor (12–18 days to Turkey, 16–26 days to Europe) offers a strong middle ground: faster than sea, significantly cheaper than air. Sea is the most economical for large volumes where transit time is not critical (14–38 days depending on destination).
The Middle Corridor (Trans-Caspian International Transport Route) runs from China through Kazakhstan, across the Caspian Sea by ferry, through Azerbaijan and Georgia to Turkey. It bypasses Russia and Belarus entirely — essential since 2022 sanctions disrupted the northern rail corridor. Transit from Shanghai or Chengdu to Istanbul: 12–18 days.
Yes. We arrange pickup from your factory or supplier warehouse anywhere in China, manage Chinese export customs, handle international freight by air, sea or rail, clear import customs at the destination country, and deliver to the final address. One point of contact throughout.

Standard export documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, HS code classification, Chinese export customs declaration, bill of lading or airway bill, and certificate of origin where preferential tariff is claimed at destination. Additional certificates (conformity, phytosanitary) may be required depending on the destination country and product type. We advise per shipment.
Yes. Istanbul is the western terminus of the Middle Corridor. Goods arriving by rail from China continue to any European destination within 3–5 days by road. Turkey can also serve as a processing or value-add hub — goods partially manufactured in Turkey may qualify for preferential origin when entering the EU under Turkey's Customs Union. See China to Europe via Turkey.
Turkey applies customs duties and anti-dumping measures on certain Chinese product categories — particularly textiles, ceramics, steel and chemicals. Applicable rates depend on the HS code. We advise on duty exposure and import compliance before shipment to avoid delays at customs clearance.
