The de minimis duty exemption ended for China-origin parcels in May 2025, and for all origins in August 2025. Every low-value parcel from China is now cleared as a normal import — with Section 301 and IEEPA duties where applicable. Our licensed brokers file formal entries with CBP at LAX, JFK, ORD or SAV, and DDP quotes include all applicable duties and taxes.
For Amazon sellers, we prepare shipments to Amazon's exact requirements: FNSKU labeling, carton checks, palletizing, shipment plans and appointment delivery to fulfillment centers across the USA. See Amazon FBA shipping for the full service, or FBA shipping from China to USA for FBA-specific routes.
Battery shipments can move to the USA after a free pre-check — shipability depends on battery type, watt-hour rating, UN38.3 documentation and carrier approval. Our battery shipping from China service covers the full documentation chain and DDP delivery.
Oversized machines and equipment move by flat rack, open top, RoRo or break bulk with export packing and lifting plans. See oversized cargo and machinery shipping for industrial equipment.

Three main options: express courier (3–7 days, under 30 kg), air DDP (5–10 days) and sea DDP via FCL or LCL (25–35 days). The right mode depends on weight, urgency and budget.
Choose express for samples and small parcels under 30 kg, air for urgent restocks and high-value goods, and sea for bulk inventory or FBA replenishment where cost matters more than speed. We recommend the right mode in your quote.
DDP pricing depends on the product, shipment details, destination, customs requirements and applicable duties/taxes. Your fixed quote covers freight, export and import clearance, duties and taxes, and final delivery — so landed cost stays predictable.
Cost is driven by chargeable weight (actual vs volumetric), CBM for LCL, shipping mode, HS code classification and duty rates, customs brokerage, FBA prep if needed, and final-mile delivery.
Express takes 3–7 days, air DDP 5–10 days, and sea DDP 25–35 days port-to-door. Transit varies by origin city, destination state and customs processing time.
