China to USA Freight Forwarding — American Global Freights

China to USA Freight Forwarding

Trusted China to USA shipping with all-inclusive rates

The China-USA trade lane is the world's busiest shipping corridor and the cornerstone of American Global Freights' operations. With our own office in Foshan, Guangdong Province, we provide origin-side cargo management, quality control, and consolidation services that most freight forwarders simply cannot offer. Whether you're importing consumer electronics, furniture, textiles, or industrial materials, our team in China works directly with your suppliers to ensure cargo is properly packed, documented, and shipped on schedule.

AGF Advantage on This Lane

What sets AGF apart on the China-USA lane is our physical presence in China. Our Foshan office handles supplier coordination, factory pickups, container loading supervision, and all export documentation. This eliminates the communication gaps and delays that plague importers who rely solely on US-based forwarders. Combined with our FMC-licensed NVOCC status, we offer direct carrier contracts with major steamship lines, giving you access to the best rates and the most consistent vessel schedules on the Trans-Pacific trade.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does ocean freight from China to the USA take?
Transit times vary by origin and destination port. Direct sailings from South China (Shenzhen/Guangzhou) to Los Angeles typically take 14-18 days. East Coast ports via the Panama Canal take 28-35 days. We also offer rail intermodal options from West Coast ports to inland destinations in 5-7 additional days.
Do you handle US customs clearance for imports from China?
Yes. Our licensed US customs brokers handle all import clearance, including ISF filing, HTS classification, duty calculation, and coordination with CBP and other government agencies (FDA, USDA, CPSC, etc.). We proactively manage tariff classification to ensure compliance and optimize duty rates.
Can you pick up cargo directly from factories in China?
Absolutely. Our Foshan office coordinates factory pickups throughout Guangdong Province and beyond. We can arrange trucking from any factory in China to the nearest port, supervise container loading, and manage all export documentation.
