FAQ
Sea Freight — Frequently Asked Questions
How long does sea freight from China take?
Typical transit times: China → USA 14–30 days, China → Europe 25–45 days, China → Middle East 15–30 days, depending on whether you ship FCL or LCL and the destination port. Customs clearance and local delivery add a few extra days.
What is the difference between FCL and LCL shipping?
FCL (Full Container Load) is best for large volumes or when you want faster handling, fixed container pricing, and lower risk of cargo damage. LCL (Less than Container Load) is ideal for smaller shipments — you share container space and costs are calculated by CBM or weight. Our team can help you choose the most cost-effective option.
Which China ports do you ship from?
We operate from all major Chinese ports, including Shanghai, Shenzhen, Ningbo, Qingdao, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Tianjin, and Dalian. Inland pickup from factories is available across China.
Can you ship to Amazon FBA warehouses by sea?
Absolutely. We handle Amazon FBA sea freight including labeling and pallet requirements, appointment booking, and delivery to FBA warehouses across the US, EU, and UK networks.
Is cargo insurance available for sea freight?
Yes. We offer all-risk cargo insurance to protect your shipment against loss or damage during transit. Insurance is optional but highly recommended, especially for high-value cargo.
