When shipping from China to the USA, there are several shipping routes available for both sea freight and air freight. It is essential to select a freight forwarder with experience and a comprehensive network to avoid any costly mistakes.

For sea freight, there are two main routes available: the Pacific route and the Atlantic route. The Pacific route is the most popular and cost-competitive shipping lane that covers a distance of approximately 7,200 nautical miles. The shipping transit time varies from around 18 to 25 days, depending on the shipping route and the destination port. Some common departure ports include Shanghai, Shenzhen, Ningbo, and Xiamen. Arrival ports could be Los Angeles, Seattle, Okland, and New York.

The Atlantic route typically takes around 35 to 45 days to reach its destination port. This shipping route connects the East Coast of China to the East Coast of the USA, and some common departure ports include Qingdao, Shanghai, and Ningbo. Arrival ports include New York, Baltimore, Charleston, and Savannah.

For air freight, there are over 500 direct and indirect flights available from China to the USA every week. The transit time for air freight is significantly shorter, usually taking between one to seven days, based on the destination city and specific carrier.
