What types of shipping from Hong Kong to the USA do we provide

The most common types of shipping among our customers are:

1. Air freight – airplanes are used for transportation.
2. Sea shipping – goods are carried on a sea vessel.
3. Multimodal delivery – combining several modes of transportation, for example, land (container truck) and sea (ship) is possible.

Air freight from Hong Kong to the United States

Air freight is the fastest way to get your cargo to the destination country. This type of shipping is especially relevant when you need to urgently deliver cargo to Amazon or another trading platform or when you need to promptly replenish the stock of products in the high season (Christmas holidays).

We are ready to organize the transportation of your goods from the Chinese factory in Hong Kong to Hong Kong International Airport and then send them to the United States. Air freight from Hong Kong to the USA usually takes 7-10 days. It all depends on the congestion of the line.

Sea freight from Hong Kong to the USA

Sea shipping from Hong Kong to the USA is the most economical mode of transportation compared to airfreight prices. Delivery time from China to the USA depends on the need to introduce additional services, customs clearance time, loading at the port on the ship, and other nuances.

Shipping from Hong Kong to the USA usually takes 21-32 days, depending on the port of arrival (East or West Coast).

FCL and LCL shipping

Our customers can take advantage of our consolidated shipping service (LCL). This process will require more time but significantly less than freighting full 20-foot or 40-foot containers since it assumes the presence of goods of several senders in one container and the division of payments.

When the container is fully loaded with goods from a single shipper (FCL), the collection and placement of items go faster, but the shipper must also pay the total cost of container shipping.

Shipping Routes from Hong Kong to the US

When sending a shipment by route from Hong Kong-USA to your desired destination, the city where the items will arrive is considered. Two major US ports are popular:

• Port of Los Angeles, CA.
• Port of New York, NY.

The logic behind choosing a port is simple: if you need to ship products to San Diego, the closest shipping port will be Los Angeles (East Coast). By sending goods to the Port of New York (West Coast of the United States), the time it will take for them to be delivered by truck to their destination will be much longer. 

Alternatively, if your endpoint is Philadelphia, the closest port to it would be the Port of New York. Otherwise, the truck must take a few days instead of hours.

Cost of shipping from Hong Kong to the US

Such factors influence the formation of cost of shipping from Hong Kong to the USA:

• type, weight, and dimensions of merchandise;
• the method of transportation chosen by the client (air or sea);
• the amount of customs duties;
• seasonality;
• additional services;
• storage (in port or airport, warehousing).

Freight rates and duties are constantly changing, so the manager will announce the final delivery amount after he receives all the necessary data from you.

Our Rates

The cost of shipping from Hong Kong to the USA will depend on the shipping method and the nuances of the shipment. For example, shipping by air is faster but will cost more than sea freight. Also, the choice of freight will be influenced by the type and quantity of cargo. So, heavy loads, oversized shipments, and some categories of dangerous goods are better transported by ship, as airplane restrictions exist.
