Routes
We're a Chinese freight forwarder operating from the origin, where your goods are made and loaded. Importing directly from China brings barriers —the language, the distance, who to turn to— and our job is to make them a non-issue. The transpacific route to the United States is our daily business: we handle your shipment end to end —transport, documentation and customs—, with the prices you only get by working from the origin itself.
You work with the people at the port of departure in China, not a middleman in the US that subcontracts. Fewer links, better price.
We're where your goods are made and loaded: we coordinate pickup, consolidation and shipping from the very first metre.
We know Chinese carriers, airlines, ports and export formalities inside out. We pick the best combination of factory, Chinese port and destination coast in the US.
We work in writing and keep everything documented in English, the common standard in international shipping, and in Spanish when you need it. Every detail stays clear for both sides — no language barrier with the origin.
The best port depends on where your final destination in the US is. The West Coast is fastest from Asia; the East Coast suits Atlantic destinations. We pick the one that connects best to cut cost and time.
The largest port complex in the Western Hemisphere and the fastest entry for Asian cargo. Excellent rail and road connections across the country. The great US gateway for trade with China.
The largest East Coast port, via the Panama Canal. Ideal for the Northeast, with large container capacity and distribution into the Atlantic interior.
One of the country's fastest-growing container ports, the gateway to the Southeast, with excellent logistics parks and intermodal connections.
The great Gulf and southern gateway, strong in container, project cargo and industrial goods. A good base for Texas and the south-central US.
We also operate with other US points: Chicago (inland intermodal) · Seattle/Tacoma · Oakland · airports LAX · ORD · JFK
The most cost-effective option. FCL (full container) or LCL (groupage) depending on your volume, to Los Angeles/Long Beach. The East Coast (New York, Savannah) adds days via the Panama Canal.
For urgent or high-value cargo, via LAX, Chicago (ORD) or New York (JFK). Fast and tracked in real time.
For landlocked destinations (Chicago, Dallas, Denver…), we link the ship with the US domestic rail network from the Pacific port. It cuts the final leg versus all-road haulage.
We take care of clearance. In the US, customs is CBP (Customs and Border Protection): you need a registered importer (with its tax ID) and, usually, a customs bond. Before shipping, the ISF («10+2») is filed at least 24 hours in advance; a late or wrong ISF is penalised. Duty is settled under the product's HTS classification. An important point specific to Chinese-origin goods: on top of the general duty an additional tariff may apply (trade measures that have changed a lot in recent years), and since 2025 the «de minimis» exemption no longer applies to Chinese-origin shipments, so every shipment pays its duties. The US has no federal VAT: sales tax is state-level and is not charged on import. We calculate the up-to-date cost before shipping and coordinate clearance with a customs agent, so there are no surprises.
