Shipping from China to the USA, priced in public
Two routes cover almost everything: the courier line into the US for parcels up to 5 kg, and registered mail for lighter items. Above that it is air or ocean, quoted per shipment.
Honest transit, not the brochure version
Anyone quoting a fixed day count for every parcel is quoting an average and hoping you do not notice.
If speed matters more than cost
Stock held in a US partner facility ships domestically — typically 1–3 day ground to most of the country, with no per-parcel cross-border handling.
The part nobody can promise you
Rules change
US import rules are revised regularly, including how low-value shipments are treated. We confirm the current position for your goods before quoting rather than repeating last year's answer.
Who pays
Duties and import taxes are set by US Customs and payable by the importer of record. We prepare the export documentation and can quote DDP options on many lanes.
Declare it properly
Accurate product descriptions and HS codes are your responsibility and in your interest. Under-declaring risks the whole consignment, not just the parcel that was checked.
What the courier line will not take
- Parcels over 5 kg — use air or ocean instead
- Longest side over 55 cm, or three sides over 90 cm

- Declared values outside 1–249 USD on this channel
What we do before it leaves
- Unit-level count and condition check against your packing list
