The complete 2026 guide to shipping from China to the USA: compare express, air and sea DDP, understand the post-de-minimis customs rules, and get a fixed door-to-door quote from XCJD Logistics within 24 hours.
XCJD Logistics is a China-based international freight forwarder founded in 2011, with 15+ years of export experience, 8,000+ shipments delivered and 150+ global destinations. For China-to-USA shipping, we provide one partner, one fixed DDP price and a clear answer to every question on this page — quoted within 24 hours.
Shipping from China to the USA takes 3–7 days by express (parcels under 30 kg), 5–10 days by air DDP and 25–35 days by sea DDP (FCL or LCL). Since the de minimis duty exemption ended for China-origin parcels in May 2025 and for all origins in August 2025, every parcel from China now clears as a normal import. XCJD Logistics includes all applicable duties and taxes in one fixed DDP price.
The 2025–2026 customs changes removed the low-value shortcut for China parcels. Importers who assumed "small package = duty-free" now face formal entries, Section 301 and IEEPA duties, and potential border delays. Predictable landed cost is no longer optional — it is the difference between a clean shipment and a surprise bill.
| Mode | Transit | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | | Express courier | 3–7 days | Samples, documents, parcels under 30 kg | | Air DDP | 5–10 days | Urgent restocks, high-value electronics | | Sea DDP (FCL / LCL) | 25–35 days | Bulk inventory, furniture, FBA replenishment |
Our licensed brokers file formal entries with CBP at LAX, JFK, ORD and SAV, handle Section 301 and IEEPA duties where applicable, and include everything in the DDP quote. Battery and oversized cargo need a pre-check before quoting.
To quote, we need: product name and carton count, total weight and dimensions, supplier city in China, destination address in the USA, and photos or specs for sensitive cargo (batteries, machinery, oversized items).
We have handled China-to-USA freight since 2011 — 15+ years, 8,000+ shipments, 150+ destinations, warehouses in Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Yiwu, and licensed brokers at US ports. For Amazon sellers we also handle FNSKU labeling, GMA palletizing and FC appointment delivery. See our USA shipping route page for the full service detail.
Send us your cargo details and get one fixed DDP quote within 24 hours — freight, export and import clearance, all applicable duties and taxes, and final delivery. For FBA shipments, add labeling, palletizing and appointment delivery on the same quote.
Air DDP takes 5–10 days door-to-door and suits urgent restocks and high-value goods. Sea DDP takes 25–35 days and is the most cost-efficient option per CBM for bulk inventory and FBA replenishment. Express covers parcels under 30 kg in 3–7 days.
Since May 2025 China-origin parcels are cleared as normal imports, so applicable duties (including Section 301 and IEEPA where relevant) apply. XCJD Logistics includes all applicable duties and taxes in fixed DDP quotes, so landed cost stays predictable.
LCL is billed on volume (CBM) with chargeable weight (actual vs volumetric) considered. Send carton count, dimensions and total weight and we include the calculation in your fixed quote.
Yes. Sea DDP includes final delivery to business addresses nationwide via licensed brokers, with duties and taxes in one fixed price.
Port-to-door transit is 25–35 days; customs processing affects the exact window. For deadline-driven cargo, air DDP delivers in 5–10 days.
Applicable duties (Section 301 / IEEPA where relevant) are assessed at clearance. Under DDP, XCJD Logistics includes them in the fixed price via licensed brokers. Exact amounts depend on the product and HS code.
LCL starts from about 1 CBM and suits smaller volumes; FCL (20/40/40HQ) becomes more efficient at consistent high volume. We compare both in your quote.
Send product name, carton count, total weight, dimensions, supplier city and destination address. We reply with a fixed DDP quote within 24 hours — usually much faster on business days.
