Liège, the economic capital of Wallonia, has strong commercial ties with China through its multimodal freight platform at Liège Airport (LGG) and the growing Chinese logistics presence in the region. The city's university and its diverse international community also generate significant demand for Chinese-French translation services.
Liège Airport and Chinese logistics: translation for air cargo
Liège Airport is one of Europe's top cargo hubs and has seen growing volumes of Chinese e-commerce goods, particularly since major Chinese platforms and logistics operators established European distribution centres in the region. This activity generates a constant stream of commercial and customs documentation that needs to be translated between Chinese and French.
Our agency works with freight forwarders, logistics operators and customs agents in the Liège region who need accurate translations of air waybills, cargo manifests, commercial invoices, packing lists and certificates of origin. We understand the urgency of air cargo procedures and offer express turnaround times.
