Shipping from China to North America
Compare air freight, sea freight, express and DDP shipping from China to the USA, Canada and Mexico. Transifly helps importers plan customs responsibility, Amazon FBA or warehouse delivery, final-mile service and landed-cost details before the cargo leaves China.
USA import and FBA delivery
For US shipments, the quote should account for port or airport routing, customs bond requirements where applicable, importer details, Amazon FBA labels and final delivery appointments.
Canada customs and inland delivery
Canadian shipments need clear GST or importer responsibility, destination province, delivery address type and whether the cargo moves to a warehouse, 3PL, Amazon location or commercial site.
Mexico route coordination
For Mexico, the freight plan should confirm consignee details, product classification, customs coordination and whether delivery is to a border-forwarding point, warehouse or final commercial address.
North America shipping options from China
The USA, Canada and Mexico often require different route planning even when the products come from the same supplier in China. US buyers may care most about Amazon FBA delivery, customs bond coordination and final-mile appointment rules. Canadian importers may need province-level delivery planning, GST and customs broker coordination. Mexico shipments require careful consignee and customs document review before confirming door delivery. Transifly helps you compare these differences before you choose a service.

What we need for a reliable North America quote
North America quotes can change quickly when the shipment moves from port-to-port pricing to real door delivery. A warehouse with a dock, an Amazon FBA appointment, a residential address and a remote commercial site are not the same delivery job. To avoid surprises, send the cargo details and final delivery conditions at the start.
- Product name, HS code if available and whether the cargo has batteries, liquids or special handling needs.
- Carton dimensions, package count, gross weight and total CBM.
- Supplier city in China and preferred pickup date.
- Destination country, city, zip or postal code and full delivery address if available.
- Importer, broker, customs bond and tax responsibility where applicable.
- Warehouse, FBA, commercial, residential or appointment delivery requirements.
Shipping from China to North America FAQ
Can you deliver to Amazon FBA?
Yes. Provide your FBA shipment labels, warehouse address, carton count and delivery appointment requirements so the freight plan can include the correct final-mile handoff.
Is DDP available to North America?
DDP can be reviewed after checking product type, HS code, declared value, destination country and importer requirements. Some products or routes may require a different customs arrangement.
What is better, air or sea?
Air freight is better for urgent or higher-value shipments. Sea freight is usually better for larger cartons, pallets and container loads when cost control is more important than speed.
