China-US Sea Freight
China-US ocean line: Matson express reaches Long Beach in 11 days with 15-23 day delivery; standard FCL 18-25 days and LCL 20-30 days, DDP to Amazon FCs and commercial doors.
Service Overview
Ocean is the highest-volume, most cost-efficient corridor between China and the US. Sailing from Yantian and Shekou terminals in Shenzhen, we combine fast boats with standard carriers into one network: deadline-driven cargo rides Matson express, full loads go FCL, and mixed supplier batches consolidate into LCL.
Three ocean options
- Express: Matson CLX sails every Wednesday, 11 days to Long Beach with dedicated-terminal unloading and 15-23 day door-to-door signing
- Standard FCL: full-container loads at 18-25 days to the US West, at roughly half the express rate
- LCL: sub-container volumes consolidated at 20-30 days, billed by CBM
Why Shenzhen
Yantian is one of South China densest US-lane ports with the most sailing options and space; Shekou sits closer to the city for faster gate-in. The two terminals let us match vessels to your warehouse cutoff schedule.
How to choose: stock up 4-6 weeks before promotions on the Matson fast boat to lock delivery dates; routine replenishment fits standard FCL; low-volume sellers with many suppliers fit LCL consolidation.

FAQ
Q: Express or standard ocean?
A: Deadline and budget decide: promotions and stockouts need Matson express; relaxed timelines fit standard FCL at about half the rate. Book express 10+ days ahead in peak season.
Q: Do East Coast addresses unload in LA?
A: US East cargo usually sails through Panama to New York/Savannah; an LA-unload plus rail option exists but carries peak-season risk. Your advisor recommends by deadline.
Q: Can you deliver to Amazon warehouses?
A: Yes — all US FCs, palletized and labeled per Amazon requirements with PO provided.
