Sea Freight\/Ocean Freight<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Transport by the ocean can take a very long time but can carry a massive amount of goods, which drives down the costs. The diversity of cargo that can be shipped is also a major benefit to this model. That\u2019s why it\u2019s a popular and widely used mode in logistics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Despite the lengthy delivery time, if you plan ahead, and have enough time to wait, sea freight will be your top choice. Depending on where you\u2019re located, it will be in the vicinity of 30~60 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">There are two types of ocean shipping,<strong> FCL, and LCL<\/strong>, both of which have to do with the costs of shipping and the size of the container used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2808 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/FCL-vs-LCL.png\" alt=\"shipping from China CLC FCL\" width=\"500\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/FCL-vs-LCL.png 500w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/FCL-vs-LCL-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>FCL = Full Container Load<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>LCL = Less (than) Container Load<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">For ocean freight, there are 2 ways usually,\u00a0<span class=\"___SText_12shi_gg_\" data-ui-name=\"Link.Text\">Expedited or normal ocean shipping method.

See, that makes sense, right? More items equal a full container.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\">Typically, shipping FCL is cheaper by volumetric unit and weight unit.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">But, many importers aren\u2019t purchasing enough goods to ship FCL. You could try air freight but the cost is often too high. In this case, LCL (less than container load) is the ideal solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">When shipping LCL, your items share containers with other people\u2019s items. In other words, cargo from multiple buyers ends up in the same container.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><b>What is LCL vs<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>FCL?<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">It is easier to <strong>track<\/strong> FCL directly through the shipping company\u2019s website. That way, you can predict its arrival with accuracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Under FCL, your items will be <strong>safer<\/strong>. FCL means that your items will not be mixed with other shipments. There will be less risk of your cargo being damaged or getting lost since fewer people will be handling it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">FCL can be processed<strong> faster<\/strong> because your shipment will be the only one that will be loaded into a container. Under LCL, the shipment will be consolidated with others first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">As mentioned earlier, FCL is <strong>cheaper<\/strong> when the cost is broken down per unit. Ultimately, your choice of FCL or LCL will hinge upon how much you\u2019re shipping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">You can choose FCL or LCL as you wish.

Find The Right Shipping Agent<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Name brand global freight forwarders have the ability to secure preferential freight rates and preferential treatment from large air and ocean carriers, as well as a broader global physical footprint. This means they will attract larger customers who will naturally receive preferential treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take the latest annual mystery shopping survey. All of the top 20 freight forwarders were asked for quotes, but only seven were willing to quote to small businesses. You should probably avoid using any of the larger freight forwarders;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If your total shipping costs around $1-$800, <strong>In contrast<\/strong>, smaller freight forwarders typically have more time to spend on smaller shipments and work with smaller customers, but they may have less attractive pricing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>5. Route Planning And Optimization<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Logistics is the process of analyzing the most efficient route and mode of transportation. There may be multiple routes to transport the delivery of your goods to the final destination. As we talk above, you have to figure out the most economical shipping methods to save your money and time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>6. Use The Online Shipping Calculator<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Typically, it is easy for you to find a shipping calculator online. Depending on your needs and shipment requirements, these tools can evaluate your shipping costs. Or, you can get a freight shipping quote\u00a0from us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>7. Compare Shipping Costs<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Making decisions based on price alone can be a flawed strategy, especially if you are trying to save $200 on a shipment worth $200,000. For example, some freight forwarders discount the first shipment to win the sale, but give it back in subsequent shipments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In addition, some freight forwarders hide fees in their terms and conditions to make their offers seem more attractive than those from more honest competitors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Price leading freight forwarders almost certainly do so at the expense of service. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This may not be a problem, for example, if those services you don\u2019t need. So, if one offer is much cheaper than the others, be very careful and see if you can figure out why.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Otherwise, you will face this kind of issue from a bad shipping agent from China to US:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">They overestimate volume or weight<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Follow-up service that drives you crazy<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Can&#8217;t give you better compensation in the event of a shipping problem<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Hard to refund<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3bb5cOnqwM0\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_a_Shipping_Quote_Price_from_China_to_US\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 24pt;\"><strong>How to Get a Shipping Quote Price from China to US?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">The first thing you need to do first at this stage is that you <strong>must familiarize yourself with shipping incoterms.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/trade-terms-alibaba-incoterms\/\">Incoterms<\/a> are trade terms that are used internationally for determining where and when the cargo will be transferred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Incoterm-Alibaba-Incoterm.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Incoterm-Alibaba-Incoterm-300x155.png\" alt=\"Incoterm-Alibaba Incoterm\" width=\"750\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Incoterm-Alibaba-Incoterm-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Incoterm-Alibaba-Incoterm-600x309.png 600w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Incoterm-Alibaba-Incoterm-768x396.png 768w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Incoterm-Alibaba-Incoterm.png 1064w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Always be sure to tell your supplier or freight forwarder what incoterm you want when getting a shipping quote like<strong> FOB Shanghai<\/strong>\u00a0 Otherwise you may end up paying way more than you expected. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Some other commonly used incoterms are FOB, EXW, CIF, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/ddp-shipping-from-china\/\">DDP<\/a> and we have another video explaining all the different incoterms in detail, so we won\u2019t talk about more here today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">The next thing you need to know is What do you need to provide to get an Alibaba shipping quotation?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>Freight forwarders require the following information before they can provide a quotation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Shipping method: Air or ocean<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Total Cargo Volume (cbm)\/Total Weight (kgs)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Each Carton of weight and Dim<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Freight Term: EXW Factory or FOB<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Pick address: factory address or port name<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Delivery address<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Insurance (Yes \/ No)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\">*Freight Quote normally does not include: Duty &amp; Tax<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">So be sure to have this information prepared when you ask for an Alibaba shipping quote.

I want to mention this here is because if you haven\u2019t made a full payment to your supplier, they could hold this bill of lading until you paid in full, in this case, you can not clear your goods since your freight forwarder needs this bill of lading to do the clearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\">How Much is Duty Tax from China to US?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: roboto;\">When shipping from China to the US or exporting something, custom clearance is a complex process.

The carried doesn\u2019t take any responsibility. You need to pay a fee to your forwarder for the clearance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: roboto;\">However, you need to provide the correct information to avoid any issues. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: roboto;\">Following documents are may required:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: roboto;\">Invoice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: roboto;\">Packing List<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: roboto;\">Certificate of Origin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: roboto;\">Payment terms<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: roboto;\">Bill of shipment<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: roboto;\">POA<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">An <strong>overall suggestion<\/strong> here is, when you are shipping from China, one of the things you should always spend time doing is to conduct a comprehensive consultation with a China freight forwarder.

Cargo insurance is one of the most popular.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Shipping insurance is cheap, and a typical cost is around US$50 to US$100. Normally, shipping insurance only covers the value of the cargo, in case of transportation damage. It will not cover lost sales or product development costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Usually, you can ask your freight\u00a0forwarder for the insurance\u00a0option, but here is a rough equation that you can use to estimate the insurance\u00a0cost by yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>Shipping Insurance \u2245 Value of Goods * 1.1* 0.1% ~ 0.3%. \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">This is not the exact equation used by every forwarder, it\u2019s just something for a quick reference. Ask your freight forwarder\u00a0for the final price. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">The rate for such insurance is usually calculated from the value of the goods, the kind of cargo, and from the transport route.\u00a0Again, talk to your freight\u00a0forwarder to confirm all the details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4863 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shipping-from-China-e1663838024970.jpg\" alt=\"supplyia shipping service\" width=\"750\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shipping-from-China-e1663838024970.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shipping-from-China-e1663838024970-600x405.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shipping-from-China-e1663838024970-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consolidate_Shipments_from_China_with_Supplyia\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24pt; font-family: roboto;\"><strong>Consolidate Shipments from China with Supplyia<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: roboto;\">It is a good way to shipping from China to the US is choosing to work with a reliable <a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.supplyia.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">China sourcing agent<\/a> or freight forwarder.
