Shipping From China to USA Process
Send the supplier and packing lists
You provide supplier contacts, item descriptions, quantities, dimensions, ready dates and the US delivery postcode. We use these to confirm the proposed scope and quote.
Confirm collection and consolidation
After the plan is agreed, we coordinate factory pickup and receipt. Quantities, visible condition and any packing work are checked against the agreed requirements.
Approve packing and shipment details
Confirm packed volume and weight, any agreed inspection findings, the invoice and packing list, and the exporter/importer responsibilities before booking.
Book freight and coordinate clearance
We coordinate the agreed carrier booking and documents with the relevant transport and customs partners. The importer and broker confirm US entry requirements and duties for the goods.
Arrange delivery after release
Confirm the delivery address, site access, unloading scope and appointment. Keep the delivery record and report any visible shortage or damage promptly to your shipment contact.
Shipment updates: Contact your assigned Allwayforward representative by the agreed email or messaging channel. Ask for the booking, bill of lading or air waybill reference and a carrier tracking link where available. Confirm pickup, loading/departure, arrival, release and delivery updates, plus the reporting cadence, before booking. This page does not promise continuous live GPS tracking.

FAQs
FCL (Full Container Load) means you’re paying for and using an entire container, regardless of whether you fill it to capacity. It’s ideal for larger shipments as it can be more cost-effective and secure. LCL (Less Than Container Load) allows you to ship smaller amounts by only paying for the space you use, sharing the container with other shipments.
Yes, customs clearance is a crucial part of the shipping process. It involves submitting the necessary documents and paying any duties and taxes required by US Customs. Partnering with a freight forwarder like AllWayForward can help navigate these requirements smoothly, ensuring compliance and avoiding delays.
Most freight forwarders and carriers offer tracking services. You’ll typically receive a tracking number or access to an online portal where you can monitor your shipment’s progress, from departure in China to arrival at your specified destination in the US.
While you can ship a wide range of goods, there are restrictions on certain items, including hazardous materials, counterfeit goods, and items prohibited by US laws. Always check the latest regulations or consult with your freight forwarder to ensure your goods are compliant.
The choice between air and ocean freight depends on your budget, timeline, and the nature of the goods being shipped. Air freight is faster but generally more expensive, suitable for high-value or perishable goods. Ocean freight is more cost-effective for larger, less time-sensitive shipments. Balancing cost, transit time, and the specific requirements of your goods will help determine the best option.
