Ocean Freight is the most common way to ship items from China to Mexico, mainly because of its versatility and reliability. While air freight has restrictions on what it can carry, virtually all items can be shipped by sea, including very large and heavy items (such as cars). The main disadvantage of ocean shipping is its timing. Other shipping methods take just a few days to deliver goods, while ocean freight can take weeks. Items typically take 15-40 days to reach their destination, depending on the type of shipment and the specific departure and arrival ports.

Ocean freight operates under FCL and LCL container systems. Please consider container size when selecting a shipping size and getting a price estimate, as FCL and LCL prices differ. We can help you create commercial invoices, clear customs and purchase insurance for your goods.

Full Container Load (FCL): Shipping in which all contents of the container are owned by one company. This is a good option when you are transporting a volume large enough to fill an entire container yourself. This applies to bulk items and bulky products. If you are filling the entire container, this is the most cost-effective option.

Less than Container Load (LCL): Items from multiple shippers are packed into a single container. This method is used when the quantity you are shipping is too small to fill an entire container. This allows for smaller, more adaptable inventories.
