Shipping from China to North America

We're a Chinese freight forwarder operating from the origin, where your goods are made and loaded. We coordinate your import from China to North America end to end —sea or air freight, documentation and customs clearance— with the prices you only get by working from the origin itself. The transpacific route is our daily business: a single point of contact from the Chinese factory to your warehouse door in the United States, Canada or Mexico.

Why import from China to North America with a forwarder at origin

Better price, no middlemen

You work with the people at the port of departure in China, not a middleman across the Pacific that subcontracts. Fewer links, better price.

Control from the factory

We're where your goods are made and loaded: we coordinate pickup, consolidation and shipping from the very first metre.

Mastery of the transpacific route

We know Chinese carriers, airlines, ports and export formalities inside out. We pick the best combination of factory, Chinese port and destination coast in North America.

A single point of contact

One person answers for the whole China–North America journey. We work in writing, in English by default and in Spanish when you need it, so every detail is clear and on record.

Transport modes and transit times China–North America

Sea · West Coast 14–22 days

The most cost-effective option for large volumes. FCL (full container) or LCL (groupage) to the major Pacific ports (Los Angeles/Long Beach, Vancouver, Manzanillo). The East Coast (New York, Veracruz, Montreal) adds more days via the Panama Canal.

Air · 5–9 days

For urgent or high-value cargo, to North America's major cargo airports. Fast and tracked in real time.

Inland intermodal

After hitting a West Coast port, the US and Canadian domestic rail network carries your cargo to landlocked destinations (Chicago, Dallas, Toronto…) efficiently. We combine sea and domestic rail to cut the final leg.

Door to door (DDP)

We handle everything, including import duties and taxes, and deliver to your address. You just receive the goods.

Customs when importing into North America

One point worth being clear about: North America is not a customs union. Although the United States, Canada and Mexico share the USMCA free-trade agreement, that deal does not apply to goods of Chinese origin: each country clears the import on its own, with its own customs, its own duties and its own taxes. In the US, CBP is involved (with its own steps such as the ISF and, for Chinese goods, additional tariffs worth calculating before shipping); in Canada, the CBSA and 5% GST; in Mexico, the SAT, with a pedimento, a customs broker and 16% VAT. In every case we handle it: tariff classification and coordination with a customs agent at destination, so your cargo enters without surprises.
