Freight transportation to the USA from Germany from Global Unity Logistics Company
We work with importers, manufacturers, and e-commerce entrepreneurs and guarantee a well-coordinated staff to ensure you achieve your business goals.
Shipments from Germany to the USA occur when there is an exporter in Germany and an importer in the States, which we can provide ourselves. If the goods are shipped via Amazon FBA, the European exporter can also be the importer in one person.
We accept shipments of goods up to 100 kg and do not handle the shipping from Germany to the USA of personal items or small parcels. We also do not accept items containing precious or semi-precious minerals and stones, alcohol, cigarettes, food, bulk and liquid shipments, or replicas of world-famous brands.
What types of shipping from Germany to the USA do we provide
We provide you with reliable delivery of your shipments:
- by airplane;
- by sea containership;
- by several types of transport (ship + truck or truck + airplane).
The selection of appropriate transportation depends on the nuances of your cargo, its type, features, size, and weight, your personal needs (urgency of delivery from Germany to the USA), and external factors (seasonality, the current situation in ports and airports).
Airfreight from Germany to the USA
Airfreight is the fastest in terms of time. If you need to urgently replenish your stock of products in Amazon warehouses or other trading platforms – this is the right transportation choice.
| Flight Schedule | |
|---|---|
| Standard flight | Every day |
| Transit time (airport to airport) | 10-14 days |
We will pick up and move the shipment from a factory, warehouse, or other location in Germany and deliver it to Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Franz Josef Strauss, or any other airport. The items are shipped to America, the closest city to the Amazon warehouse or your final destination.
Transit time on a door-to-door basis will be 10-14 days.
Sea freight from Germany to the USA
Shipping by sea is economical for transporting heavy cargo or large shipments.
We handle commercial shipments from 1 m³ or 100 kg from the port of Hamburg or Bremerhaven in 20-foot or 40-foot containers.
| Ship departure schedule | ||
|---|---|---|
| Shipping time | Transit time | Shiploads and departure |
| fast sea | 20 days | ship departures every week |
| regular sea | 35 days | ship departures every week |
The transit time of sea Germany-USA delivery depends on the ship’s speed and the line’s characteristics. Thus, the standard delivery by ship is 35 days, while “fast sea” is up to 20 days.
For exact terms of delivery by sea vessel, please contact Global Unity Logistics managers.
FCL and LCL shipping
We can offer LCL delivery Germany-USA if a small shipment does not fill a 20-foot container. This means you will send the goods by consolidated service when multiple shippers share the space in the container. In this case, the shipping costs are shared among all consignors.
FCL shipping from Germany to the USA is necessary for many products. In this case, the goods of one shipper fill the entire container space. This ensures faster cargo handling without picking each customer’s products separately.
Sea shipping routes from Germany to the USA
We are ready to ship your products anywhere in Germany, from an office or a warehouse, via the ports of Bremerhaven or Hamburg. The shipment follows a direct route to the East or West Coast of America (Port of New York or Los Angeles).
Note where the shipment’s destination is located on the map. If you are shipping to Las Vegas, consider that the products must arrive in California (Los Angeles port); otherwise, you will lose a few days on delivery.
