Freight and logistics management from Asia to the USA

Sea or air, FCL or LCL, port to port or all the way to your warehouse door. One booking, one point of contact and a landed cost you knew before the goods moved.

The problem

China to your US door, one point of contact

Freight quotes are the most misleading numbers in importing. A low ocean rate says nothing about destination charges, customs bonds, duty, chassis fees or the drayage leg that gets goods from the port to your building. The number that matters is landed cost per unit.

What is included

  • Sea freight, FCL and LCL, from all major Chinese ports
  • Air freight and express for launch stock and urgent replenishment
  • Multi supplier consolidation into a single shipment
  • US customs clearance and entry filing
  • HTS classification, duty and tariff calculation
  • ISF filing and customs bond arrangement
  • Port drayage and inland trucking to your facility
  • Direct delivery into Amazon FBA with appointment booking
  • Cargo insurance and full landed cost modelling

How it works

STEP 01 · 2 days

Plan

We model sea against air for your volume, margin and launch date, and give you the landed cost per unit for each option.

STEP 02 · Same week

Book

Space booked, factory collection scheduled and export documentation prepared.

STEP 03 · 3 to 5 days

Consolidate

Where you are buying from several factories, cargo is consolidated at our facility so you pay for one shipment, not four.

STEP 04 · 1 to 3 days

Clear

ISF filed, entry submitted, duty and tariffs paid, customs cleared at the port of arrival.

STEP 05 · 2 to 7 days

Deliver

Drayage and inland trucking to your warehouse, our warehouse or straight into an Amazon fulfillment center.

What you receive

  • Landed cost model per unit before booking
  • Bill of lading and full document pack
  • HTS classification with duty rate
  • Live tracking through to delivery

How we charge

Freight is quoted per shipment against live rates, with our management fee shown as a separate line rather than buried in the rate. You see the carrier cost and what we charge to manage it.

In practice

For Royal's Collections we consolidated a home goods catalogue spread across four supplier regions into a single shipment, replacing four separate freight bookings and the destination charges that came with each one.

Questions

Logistics Management, answered

How long does sea freight from China to the USA take?
Port to port to the US West Coast is typically around 18 to 25 days, and to the East Coast around 30 to 40 days via Panama. Add roughly a week either side for collection, clearance and inland delivery. Schedules move, so we give you a live estimate at booking.
Who pays the duty and tariffs?
You do, as the importer of record, but we calculate it before you ship so it is in your landed cost rather than a surprise invoice. Tariff rates on Chinese goods change, so we confirm the current rate for your HTS code at the time of booking.
Can you ship straight into Amazon FBA?
Yes, including FNSKU and carton labelling, box content submission and delivery appointment booking. We can also prep in our US warehouse first if you want the stock checked before it goes into Amazon.
Do I need a customs bond?
If you are importing commercially into the US, yes. We arrange either a single entry bond or a continuous bond depending on how often you import.
