Shipping freight from the USA to China requires careful planning, understanding the available shipping methods, costs, transit times, and legal regulations. In this guide, we’ll walk you through all the important aspects of freight shipping, including the options available, customs clearance, prohibited items, and more. Whether you are a business or an individual, this detailed guide by RAM International Shipping will help you navigate the process smoothly.
When shipping freight from the USA to China, there are two primary options to consider: Air Freight and Ocean Freight. Both methods offer advantages depending on your cargo’s urgency, size, and budget.
For time-sensitive shipments, air freight is the fastest option. Although it is generally more expensive than ocean freight, it’s ideal for smaller, high-value cargo or shipments that need to be delivered quickly. RAM International Shipping offers reliable air freight services with flexible scheduling to meet your needs.
For larger or less time-sensitive shipments, Ocean Freight is the most economical solution. You can choose between Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping:

When shipping freight to China, it’s important to be aware of items that are prohibited or restricted for import. Prohibited items include, but are not limited to, counterfeit currency, hazardous chemicals, firearms, and certain types of food or agricultural products.
