Fast, Scheduled Ocean Freight From China to the USA
Tuoyuan provides China to USA freight shipping solutions for commercial cargo, with a focus on scheduled ocean transportation, predictable shipment planning, and coordinated U.S. delivery.
Choose the Right Shipment Structure
Full Container Load (FCL) – Best for larger volumes that fill a container.
Dedicated space, fewer handling points, better loading control, ideal for regular high-volume imports.
Less than Container Load (LCL) – Best when volume doesn't justify a full container.
Suitable for smaller shipments, pay only for what you use, great for variable or lower-volume replenishment.
Procurement tip: Don't choose by freight rate alone. Compare:
Freight + Origin charges + Handling + Destination charges + Delivery + Transit time
China-USA Freight Cost: What Should Your Team Compare?
A meaningful comparison must use the same service scope for every supplier.

Plan Your Shipment Around the Cut-Off Date
A vessel departure date ≠ cargo can arrive anytime. Your supplier needs time for:
Production → Cargo prep → Packing → Pickup → Delivery to port → Export procedures → Cut‑off
A late supplier can mean missing the vessel – even if space is available.For better schedule control, provide:
- Supplier location
- Cargo‑ready date
- Cargo volume
- Packaging status
- Pickup address
- Required delivery date
Cargo Protection & Insurance Options
International shipping comes with risks we can't eliminate – handling incidents, damage, loss, weather, port operations, and more.
What we offer:
- Insurance is available upon request (subject to applicable terms).
- Lost package compensation is included as part of our service (terms apply).
For higher-value cargo, we recommend you confirm before shipping:
- Is insurance included or optional?
- What's covered – and what's not?
- Coverage amount, claim process, and required documentation.

FAQ
Q: What is the current transit time from China to the USA?
A: Our Matson Express service offers ~15–18 calendar days total, with ~11 days for the ocean leg. Actual delivery varies by origin handling, cut-off, port ops, customs, and inland transport.
Q: What's the difference between ocean transit time and total delivery time?
A: Ocean transit = sea portion only. Total delivery = pickup + export + cut-off + ocean + customs + inland + final delivery. For inventory planning, total delivery time matters more.
Q: Does the service include door-to-door delivery?
A: Yes, when arranged. Your quote will clearly state origin, destination, included transport stages, and any excluded charges.
Q: Is customs clearance included?
A: It can be, per your selected service. Importers remain responsible for providing accurate product/commercial info and meeting U.S. import requirements.
Q: Are taxes included?
A: It depends on the shipment and agreed service. If included, your quote will clearly state what's covered and the assumptions used.
