Freight Forwarding FAQs
How much does it cost to ship from China?
Shipping costs depend on weight/volume, destination, and method. Sea freight (FCL): $1,800-3,200 per 20ft container. LCL sea freight: $80-150 per CBM. Air freight: $4.50-8 per kg. Express courier: $10-15 per kg. We provide all-inclusive quotes with no hidden fees. Volume shippers get 15-30% discounts.
What is the difference between FCL and LCL shipping?
FCL (Full Container Load) means you rent an entire container (20ft or 40ft) – best for shipments over 15 CBM. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares a container with others – ideal for 1-14 CBM. FCL is faster and safer as cargo isn’t handled multiple times. LCL is more economical for smaller shipments but takes longer due to consolidation.
How long does sea freight from China take?
Transit times vary by destination: China to USA West Coast (15-20 days), USA East Coast (25-30 days), Europe (25-35 days), UK (30-35 days), Australia (15-25 days), Canada (18-28 days). Add 3-7 days for customs clearance and final delivery. LCL shipments may take 5-10 days longer than FCL due to consolidation and deconsolidation.
What documents are needed for shipping from China?
Required documents include: Commercial Invoice (value declaration), Packing List (cargo details), Bill of Lading (B/L – shipping receipt), Certificate of Origin (if needed for duties), Export License (for restricted goods). For imports: you may need Import License, FDA/FCC approval (USA), CE marking (Europe), or Product Certifications. We handle all documentation preparation and customs filing.
Do you handle customs clearance?
Yes! We provide complete customs brokerage services at both origin (China) and destination. Our customs team handles HS code classification, duty calculation, document preparation, and clearance coordination. We work with licensed customs brokers in over 50 countries. Customs clearance fees are typically $100-300 per shipment depending on complexity.
Can you ship directly to Amazon FBA warehouses?
Absolutely! We specialize in Amazon FBA logistics from China. Services include: FBA-compliant labeling and packaging, prep services (poly bagging, bundling), multiple FBA warehouse distribution, appointment scheduling, and BOL preparation. We ship to FBA USA, UK, Germany, Japan, Canada, and Australia. Our team ensures your shipments meet all Amazon requirements to avoid rejection.
What is the cheapest way to ship from China?
Sea freight (LCL or FCL) is the most economical option for shipments over 100kg. For under 100kg, sea freight parcels or slow air freight are cheaper than express. The absolute cheapest: sea freight LCL for 1-5 CBM ($80-100/CBM), or rail freight to Europe ($60-80/CBM, 18-22 days). However, consider total cost including customs, delivery, and your time value. Sometimes paying slightly more for faster shipping is worth it.
Is cargo insurance necessary? How much does it cost?
While not mandatory, we strongly recommend cargo insurance to protect against loss, damage, or theft during transit. Insurance costs 0.3-0.5% of cargo value (e.g., $30-50 per $10,000 value). Claims are rare but when they happen, insurance saves you from major losses. We arrange coverage through reputable maritime insurers with straightforward claims processes.
Can you handle dangerous goods or special cargo?
Yes, we ship regulated cargo including: batteries (lithium, power banks), liquids and chemicals (with MSDS), magnets, cosmetics, food products, and electronics. Special handling requires proper documentation, IMDG/IATA classification, and UN packaging. Dangerous goods have additional fees ($200-500) and longer processing times. Some items cannot ship by air and must go by sea. Contact us with your product details for feasibility and quotation.
What happens if my shipment is delayed or lost?
Delays occasionally happen due to weather, port congestion, customs inspections, or carrier issues. We proactively monitor all shipments and notify you immediately of any delays with updated ETAs. If cargo is lost or severely delayed: we work with carriers to locate it, file claims on your behalf, and keep you informed. With insurance, you’re compensated for lost goods. Our on-time delivery rate is 99.8%, and we’ve never had an unresolved lost cargo case.
