How much does shipping from China to the USA cost?
It depends on weight, volume, service level and destination port. As a rough guide: LCL sea freight starts around $30–50 per CBM plus destination charges; air freight typically ranges $4–8 per kg; DDP door-to-door is quoted all-in per CBM or per kg. Send us your cargo details and we'll return a precise, itemized quote within 12 working hours — no hidden fees.
How long does sea freight from China take?
Typical ocean transit: China → US West Coast 15–20 days, → US East Coast 30–38 days, → Europe 30–35 days, → Australia 12–18 days. Add 5–10 days for customs and final delivery. Need it faster? Air freight arrives in 3–7 days door to door.
What is DDP shipping and should I use it?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means we handle freight, destination customs clearance and all duties/taxes, then deliver to your door at one agreed price. It's ideal for importers who don't want to deal with customs brokers or surprise duty bills — especially for e-commerce and Amazon FBA sellers. We'll advise honestly if another Incoterm suits you better.
I'm a small business or first-time importer. Can you help?
Absolutely — most of our clients started exactly there. We explain every step in plain English, handle the paperwork, and flag issues (labeling, certifications, restricted goods) before they become expensive problems. No question is too basic.
What information do you need for a quote?
Five things: product type, gross weight, volume (CBM) or number of pallets/boxes, origin city in China (or your supplier's location), and destination (port, city or Amazon warehouse). A packing list or supplier invoice speeds things up, but a short message works too.
Do you handle Amazon FBA shipments?
Yes — FBA is one of our specialties. We handle FBA-compliant labeling, carton requirements, appointment scheduling and delivery to fulfillment centers in the US, Canada and Europe, so your shipment isn't rejected at the door.
