    Planning Your China–USA Shipment

    1. How long does shipping from China to the USA take?

    Air freight usually takes around 5–10 days, while sea freight can take roughly 18–40 days, depending on the U.S. coast, route, and service. Customs clearance and inland delivery can extend the total lead time.

    2. How much does shipping from China to the USA cost?

    Costs depend on the shipping mode, chargeable weight or volume, origin, U.S. destination, cargo type, and current market capacity. Air freight is generally quoted per kilogram, while LCL is commonly volume-based and FCL is quoted per container.

    3. Should I ship to the U.S. West Coast or East Coast?

    It depends on the final destination and required delivery time. West Coast ocean routes generally offer shorter trans-Pacific transit, while an East Coast gateway may reduce inland transportation for cargo ultimately moving to eastern markets.

    4. Can you ship directly from China to Amazon FBA?

    Airsupply supports China–USA FBA logistics with supplier pickup, consolidation, freight, labeling support, customs coordination, and delivery arrangements based on the shipment and assigned destination.
