FAQ
Which countries do you ship to from China?
The guides above cover 17 countries in six regions. Other destinations, including Vietnam and New Zealand, are quoted on request through the same ports and partners.
How do I compare shipping costs between destinations?
Base ocean freight varies more by region than by carrier, from a few hundred dollars a container to Southeast Asia to several thousand to Europe. Reference rates by region and port are on our shipping cost from China page.
How long does shipping from China take to my country?
Port to port, about 4–12 days to Southeast Asia, 12–28 days to Australia, the Gulf and the US West Coast, and 25–40 days to Europe and the US East Coast. Door-to-door times by lane are on our shipping time from China page.
Can one shipment go to several countries?
Not on one customs entry. Each country needs its own Bill of Lading and import entry, but cargo can be consolidated in China and split by destination before loading.
