FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does air freight from USA to China take?
Direct air freight 2–4 days to Shanghai Pudong (PVG), Beijing (PEK), Guangzhou (CAN). Express courier: 48–72 hours door-to-door. Consolidated air: 4–6 days. Charter flights: 2 days possible from US West Coast. GAC clearance adds 1–2 days for standard shipments, longer for CCC-regulated products.
Air freight: USD $5.00–$9.00/kg on direct transpacific flights. Express: $10–$18/kg for urgent cargo. Charter pricing on request. VAT 13% on customs value plus import duties (average 5–15% for most goods). Section 301 retaliatory tariffs may apply on certain US-origin categories.
GAC (General Administration of Customs) processes imports. You need China Customs Registration, HS classification, and complete commercial documentation. Permits via CCC (China Compulsory Certification) for electronics, AQSIQ for food/cosmetics, SFDA for medical, GB standards for consumer goods. VAT 13% collected at clearance.
Shanghai Pudong (PVG) — 45%+ of US-China air trade, primary hub. Beijing Capital (PEK) — government and northern industrial hub. Guangzhou (CAN) — Pearl River Delta. Shenzhen (SZX) — tech manufacturing. Also Chengdu (CTU), Xiamen (XMN), Zhengzhou (CGO). ExFreight provides nationwide onward distribution.
Yes — via Tmall Global, JD Worldwide, or Kaola. ExFreight handles US pickup, air freight, bonded warehouse delivery in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo, or Zhengzhou free trade zones. CBEC 1210 model: lower taxes (9.1% cross-border e-commerce tax), simpler customs for B2C.
No formal FTA. Phase One trade deal (2020) partially active. Section 301 tariffs on many Chinese-origin goods remain — but note these are on imports TO the US. China also has retaliatory tariffs on US-origin agricultural and industrial goods. ExFreight monitors policy shifts and advises on sector-specific impacts.
Two options: (1) Direct transpacific: LAX-PVG 12-hour flight, total transit 2–3 days. (2) Via Anchorage refueling hub for charters: similar timing but more capacity. Direct saves 24 hours over consolidated routing through Asian hubs like Incheon or Taipei on most lanes.
Yes — China imposes retaliatory tariffs on select US-origin agricultural products (soybeans, pork), chemicals, some industrial and automotive goods. Rates: 10–35% additional. Check China Customs Tariff Commission registry. ExFreight flags affected categories during quoting and advises on exemption strategies.
