1.How much is the Shipping Cost from China to USA?

 

No matter whether you are choosing sea or air freight, there are some factors that will affect shipment costs, such as; 

  • Goods Type
  • Overall Size & Weight of Shipment
  • Shipping Route Distance ( the shorter, the cheaper )
  • Peak Seasons ( More Orders cause a rise in Shipping prices )
  • Others like Custom Checkings, delays, natural disasters, etc.

    Below, we will discuss how much you will get charged in shipping through various methods, such as; 

  • a) Sea Freight Cost
  • b) Air Freight Cost
  • c) Express Courier Cost
  • a) Sea Freight Cost

    It is important to note that in sea freight, people always ship big goods, so the cost of shipment is usually based on volume or CBM (cubic meter ) value, in the case of LCL.

    In the case of FCL, you are not charged based on CBM because you are paying for the full container, and you can use all the space ( CBM ) inside it or leave it empty.

    Check below the LCL sea freight dated 24-March-2024 from China to the USA for your information, pls also note that you need to take the documents fee and destination port fees into consideration too.

However, if your air parcels are light weighted, then volume weight also used as chargeable weight on Air shipping. You can see the chart below dated 24-March-2024 to get an idea about costs;

2.What is the Cheapest Shipping from China to USA?

The cheapest shipping option from China to the USA depends on the shipment charge weight. For shipments below 100 kg, the Express option is typically the most affordable, with an estimated cost of around US$8 per kilogram for door-to-door delivery. For shipment charge weights between 100-300 kg, standard air freight is the most economical choice, costing around US$6 per kilogram. Sea freight is the most cost-effective option for total weights and volumes above 300 kg and 2 CBM, estimated at around US$50 per cubic meter. In summary, it's best to work with a reliable freight forwarder like SWWLS air-shipment to handle your shipment, as they are familiar with all the shipping options, regulations, and shipping routes from China to the USA and can secure better shipping discounts.
