      "q": "What does this Germany route page change versus a general freight calculator?",
      "a": "It starts with China to Germany lane assumptions and leaves room for customs, inland delivery, and prep costs that often shift this route’s true landed result."

    {
      "q": "Can sellers use this for both direct-FBA and prep-center routing?",
      "a": "Yes. The customs and delivery line is where sellers can model direct Amazon delivery or a Germany prep handoff, then adjust prep and pallet work separately."

    {
      "q": "When does ocean usually beat air on this route?",
      "a": "Ocean usually wins once the shipment has enough lead time and enough volume that CBM or container pricing lowers per-unit cost without creating a stockout risk."
