    When you buy products in China, your supplier will sell the goods to you under a specific incoterms. This makes it possible to define the responsibility of the seller and the buyer in the transport of your cargo.

    Is your shipment not heavy or bulky? If your parcel is no more than 50 kgs to 100 kgs, you can opt for a shipment via an express company: DHL, FedEx, TNT, UPS… to name a few.

    The goods will simply be removed by our drivers directly from one (or more) suppliers in order to consolidate them in our warehouse at origin. We will also inspect the quality of the packaging and bring it up to transport standards if necessary (for example with a palletization of boxes).

    Have your goods reached the warehouse in China? It is now time to check whether the products, establish the packing list which will be used for the declaration at export and customs clearance at import… Generally it is also at this time we finalize the documents to prepare the goods for export.

    The cargo has arrived at the original terminal (the port, the airport or sometimes the train station), it is time to load the goods on board: the boat, the plane or the train. In this step you will find all the costs linked to the terminal (terminal charges, handling, terminal taxes, etc.)

    Before the shipment of the cargo, it is essential to make what is called “export declaration” with the local customs authorities. The borders of the countries are controlled for both import and export, this allows the country in particular to have significant economic data. It is also a stage where customs officials make sure not to send prohibited or limited products.

    Shipping from China can sometimes be cheap and fast, You can find many factors to take into consideration when selecting the shipping method, such as the weight and number of packages, whether they need to be shipped using air freight or sea freight and express or door-to-door delivery.

    DDP shipping is an alternative to traditional methods of shipping. It’s fast and cheap, and it cuts out the middleman, which saves both time and money for the consumer. DDP is an expedited shipping service that helps you reduce the time of your delivery. Air freight, sea freight, and express are all types of shipping that take longer than DDP but can help extend the overall time it takes to ship your packages.

    The cost for shipping from China to America is very affordable when compared to other shipping methods like air freight, sea freight, or express.

    One important factor is whether or not you are using a container or a LCL but less time consuming method like air freight. Another factor is which freight forwarder you use to ship your goods. The final factor is how long it takes for your goods to be shipped from China to the US and this can vary depending on where in China your goods are being shipped from.
