Frequently asked questions

How long does shipping from China to the US take?
Ocean transit to the US West Coast (LA/Long Beach) is typically 15–25 days port-to-port; the East Coast via Panama runs 30–40 days. Air freight is 3–6 days. Add time for pickup, customs, and delivery — forwarders quote door-to-door schedules against your cut-off.
What customs applies to US imports from China?
US imports require an ISF (10+2) filed before loading and a CBP entry via a licensed customs broker, plus any Section 301 additional duties on affected HS codes. Many forwarders on CargoLinked include US customs brokerage.
Should I use FCL, LCL, or air for China–US cargo?
Full-container (FCL) is most economical for large volumes; LCL suits smaller shipments sharing a container; air fits urgent or high-value goods. Post a freight request and forwarders will advise the best mode for your cargo and deadline.
