it usually takes 10-15 days for container shipping from major coastal ports such as Shanghai Yangshan Port and Yantian port to Los Angeles port in the west of the United States and nearby ports. For different shipping companies, the shipping time is different.
It takes 23-30 days for shipping from China's main ports to the eastern ports of the United States (New York, Miami, etc.).
Dalian → Los Angeles, Ca : 22 days;
Yantian → Los Angeles, Ca : 14 days;
Xiamen → Los Angeles, Ca : 14 days;
Xingang, Tianjin → New York, NY (New York, New York): 35 days;
Qingdao → New York, NY: 29 days;
Ningbo → New York, NY: 26 days;

The shipping time from port to port refers to the time from the day of departure to the arrival of the ship to the destination port, but it does not include the delay of unloading due to the high season of shipping or strike of workers, the impact of epidemic situation and import customs clearance.
The shipping time from China to the United States includes the time of delivery, export declaration, etc., shipping time, customs clearance in the United States, delivery of goods. In theory, if everything goes well, the shipping time form China to to the United States is 25-40 days.

The FCL from China to USA includes 45HQ, 40 HQ or 40HC, 40FT(40GP), 20FT (20GP).
Among them, 45 HQ are available only to the United States, and few other shipping companies will provide such containers.
The length and width of 20 FT containers are 5898 * 2352 * 2392mm, about 5.9 * 2.3 * 2.3m. The total volume is 33.2 cubic meters, and the cargo load is 26.0 tons. The theoretical dimension is different from the actual volume loading. It is suggested that the volume of goods is 28 cubic meters.

The freight forwarder in the United States reports the import to the U.S. customs.
The freight forwarder not only provides normal operation service but also low price.
Compared with the total freight of all kinds of shipping modes (China and America double=tax package, double clearance excluding tax, door-to-door transportation) the total freight will be 50% lower. This traditional container transportation is the cheapest shipping mode.
The only drawback of container shipping from China to the United States is that both the exporter and the consignee need to have certain international logistics expertise, at least know which companies to go through the formalities, which are fixed charges, when to provide the document in time, and which qualifications to go through in advance.

For one set of cargo less than 15 cubic meters usually needs to be transported by LCL from China's ports and inland cities to the United States.
The local international LCL company in China is responsible for loading each small set of goods into a container, and the local international unpacking company in the United States is responsible for distributing the goods to the corresponding consignees.
LCL companies are usually international logistics companies or international freight forwarding companies.
Due to the huge volume of LCL cargo between China and the United States, it is not enough for one or two LCL companies to provide services. There are more than ten international LCL companies in the market all over China's major ports to provide LCL transportation services to local export enterprises and individuals to various cities in the United States.
The import and export procedures of LCL to the United States are the same as that of FCL to the United States, which requires the consignee and consignor to have professional knowledge of international shipping, otherwise, problems and additional costs are likely to occur in the process of transportation.
It should be specially reminded that the declaration of ISF 10 + 2 by US customs should be completed 72 hours in advance, otherwise the consignees may be fined more than USD5000 by US customs.

The current LCL freight form China to the United States in 2024 . Destination cities include all cities in the United States.
Formula for freight calculation: RT refers to the unit of charge. The actual gross weight of goods is divided by the volume. The bigger calculated number will be used to calculate the sea freight.
The basic port in the West and East of the United States: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Auckland, New York and Miami. The proportion of goods is 1cbm=1000.0 kg. That is, the freight for goods less than 1 ton is charged as one ton.
The charging standard for per RT of goods from China to inland cities in the United States is 1cbm =363kg. If there is a cubic meter of cargo shipped to Austin and the weight of the goods is 1500 kg, then the shipping charge RT=1500 ÷ 363 = 4.13RT, not $77 per cubic meter, and the freight for the case will be charged at the cost of $4.13 * 77 = 381.01.
The proportion of inland cities of American international shipping is low, and the freight is mainly charged according to the charging standard of inland truck companies in the United States, rather than the United States LCL or shipping companies.
