1：Confirm the cargo

Confirm the product name, quantity, weight, dimensions, value, and whether it contains batteries, liquids, or other restricted items.

2:Determine the HS Code

Identify the correct HS/HTS Code for customs declaration and U.S. import duty calculation.

3:Choose a shipping method

Express or air freight is common for small shipments, while LCL or FCL ocean freight is suitable for larger cargo.

4:Work with a freight forwarder

Compare freight, customs clearance, duties, and delivery charges, and confirm whether the shipment is DDP or DAP.

5:Export, shipping, and customs clearance

The cargo is picked up in Shenzhen, cleared for export, shipped to the U.S., cleared through U.S. customs, and delivered to the final address.

In simple terms:

Pickup in Shenzhen → China export customs → International shipping → U.S. customs clearance → Final delivery
