+1 (818) 600-0008Ocean freight from Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Qingdao and Xiamen, plus
air cargo from Shanghai Pudong and Hong Kong. Customs cleared, picked up
at LA and Long Beach, and delivered to your door anywhere in the U.S.
China remains the largest single origin for containerized imports through the San Pedro Bay port complex, even after U.S. imports from China fell to $308 billion in 2025 under the new tariff rounds. The lane runs through the deepest port network on earth. Shanghai is the world's busiest container port, Ningbo-Zhoushan handles the Yangtze Delta's industrial output, Shenzhen's Yantian and Shekou terminals serve the Pearl River Delta electronics and e-commerce belt, and Qingdao and Xiamen cover the north and southeast coasts. Where your factory sits decides your port, your carrier options, and your landed cost.
AEEM Shipping manages the full move: FCL bookings and LCL consolidations out of every major Chinese port, air cargo from Shanghai Pudong and Hong Kong, customs clearance coordinated through licensed partners while your freight is on the water, and same-day drayage at every San Pedro Bay terminal on arrival. One point of contact from Chinese origin to U.S. door, tracked in real time with 24/7 dispatch.
Origin port to final door, managed by one team.

No trade lane on earth moves more containers than China to the U.S. West Coast, and no lane gives you more service options. Express sailings from Shanghai and Ningbo reach San Pedro Bay in 11 to 12 days, standard services run 14 to 18, and daily departures from every major Chinese port mean a missed cutoff costs you days, not weeks. The cargo covers everything: electronics, furniture, apparel, machinery, toys, auto parts, and the e-commerce volume that fills transload warehouses across the Inland Empire.
What the lane demands now is tariff discipline. Section 301 duties and the 2025 tariff rounds mean classification, valuation, and country-of-origin documentation decide your landed cost as much as the freight rate does. A wrong HTS code on a Chinese shipment is not a paperwork error, it is a margin problem. We build duty review into the booking through our licensed customs partners, file ISF before loading, and on arrival keep the box moving with delivery appointments set off the vessel ETA, chassis lined up, and pre-pulls when free time runs short.

Straight answers on freight from China to the U.S.
Express services from Shanghai or Ningbo reach LA and Long Beach in 11 to 12 days port to port. Standard transpacific sailings run 14 to 18 days depending on origin port and routing. Shenzhen and South China origins typically run 2 to 3 days longer than Shanghai. Add time for customs clearance and drayage to final delivery.
Rates move with container size, season, fuel surcharges, and the origin port, and on the China lane your total landed cost depends as much on tariff classification as the freight rate. Send us the origin, cargo, and volume and we return a real all-in quote covering ocean freight, destination charges, duties, and delivery.
If your cargo fills most of a 20-foot container, FCL is usually faster and cheaper per unit. Smaller volumes move LCL through consolidation in Shanghai, Ningbo and Shenzhen, which typically adds one to two weeks over FCL because of consolidation at origin and deconsolidation on arrival.
Ocean freight moves FCL and LCL from Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Qingdao and Xiamen. Air cargo departs Shanghai Pudong and Hong Kong. If your factory sits inland, we arrange trucking or barge feeder service to the nearest gateway port.
Section 301 duties and the 2025 tariff rounds apply on top of standard duty rates for most Chinese goods, and the correct HTS classification determines what you actually pay. We coordinate tariff classification, duty calculation, and entry filing through licensed customs partners before your cargo ships, so the landed cost is known upfront instead of discovered at entry.
Our own drayage network picks up at every San Pedro Bay terminal, with pre-pull and overweight capability, then delivers to your door or transloads in the Inland Empire.
