Sea DDP25-35 daysHigh-volume inventory, heavy items, or cost-sensitive shipments to LAX, JFK, or ORD fulfillment centers.

Customs clearance

Since August 2025, the $800 de minimis exemption is removed for all origins. All FBA shipments require formal entries and applicable duties (including Section 301 tariffs). We handle clearance and all applicable duties and taxes as part of the confirmed service at LAX, JFK, ORD, and SAV.

Local delivery

Nationwide trucking to all Amazon Fulfillment Centers (FCs) including LAX, JFK, ORD, and regional hubs. Appointment scheduling included.

Cost factors

  • Freight charges based on chargeable weight (volumetric vs. actual) and current fuel surcharges.
  • Import duties and taxes calculated as part of the confirmed service under current Section 301 and IEEPA regulations.
  • FBA prep fees for FNSKU labeling, carton inspection, and poly-bagging per Amazon compliance standards.
  • Last-mile trucking and appointment scheduling fees to specific Amazon FCs.

XCJD ships Amazon FBA inventory from China to US fulfilment centres with DDP door-to-door delivery: supplier pickup, FNSKU and carton labelling checks, palletising, customs clearance and appointment delivery. Air DDP is typically 5–10 days and sea DDP 25–35 days. Feasibility depends on the product, labelling and current FC requirements, confirmed per shipment before booking.

Why Amazon sellers ship with XCJD

For FBA shipping from China to USA, prep compliance is everything. Missed restock deadlines and rejected FBA boxes cost you sales rank, storage space and time. We solve the two problems Amazon sellers hit most: prep that passes Amazon's checks the first time, and delivery windows that actually hold. FNSKU labeling, carton checks, palletizing and shipment plan creation happen at our Shenzhen receiving and operations center before departure — so your boxes arrive compliant and ready for appointment.

Your customs risk, covered

Since the de minimis exemption was removed for China-origin goods, every FBA shipment now pays formal entry duties. We clear as part of the confirmed service at LAX, JFK, ORD and SAV, and include the applicable duties and taxes in the fixed DDP quote. Charges outside the quoted scope are agreed with you before they are incurred.

Ship on your restock schedule

Air DDP in 5–10 days for urgent replenishment, sea DDP in 25–35 days for cost-effective bulk. We book the FBA appointment with the fulfillment center and deliver nationwide, so your inventory hits the shelf when the plan says it will. Get a fixed DDP quote within 24 hours — send your cargo details and we will compare air vs sea for your restock deadline.

Choosing air or sea

| Decision factor | Air DDP | Sea DDP | | --- | --- | --- | | Typical transit | About 5–10 days | About 25–35 days | | Best suited to | Urgent restocks, high-value goods, small batches | Volume, heavy items, cost-sensitive replenishment | | Billing basis | Chargeable weight (greater of actual and volumetric) | Cubic metres (LCL) or container (FCL) | | Watch out for | Cost per kg at low volumes | Longer lead time before the FC appointment |

Labelling, cartons and packaging checks

FNSKU labels, outer carton labels (FBA box IDs), poly-bagging and suffocation warnings, carton weight and size limits, and pallet build standards are checked at our Shenzhen receiving and operations center before dispatch. Amazon publishes the authoritative inbound requirements; we prepare to the version in force at booking and recommend you confirm the current requirements in Seller Central.

DDP service boundary for FBA

| Included in a confirmed DDP quote | Confirmed separately | | --- | --- | | Freight, import clearance arranged as part of the confirmed service, applicable duties and taxes, and FC delivery | Storage, detention or re-labelling caused by a shipment arriving outside Amazon's requirements | | Prep work quoted up front (labelling, carton checks, palletising) | Categories we must pre-check: batteries and power banks, dangerous goods, branded goods, liquids and powders |

Supporting evidence

Our verified case library includes CASE-002, a China → USA machinery DDP project. It evidences US DDP route planning and coordination of large, non-standard cargo — it is not an Amazon FBA appointment, labelling-compliance or FC-delivery outcome, and we do not present it as one. See /machinery-shipping-from-china/ for that route.

What to send for an FBA quote

Product name and HS category, carton count, total weight and dimensions, quantity, cargo value, supplier city, destination FC code, and whether the goods contain batteries or need poly-bagging or extra labels. We reply with a fixed DDP quote within 24 hours, usually much faster on business days.
