✅ United States Air Freight Checklist

  • Label every carton with destination, carton number, and total count (e.g. 3/12).
  • Shrink-wrap and corner-protect cartons — air cargo is transloaded multiple times.
  • Confirm whether the United States rate includes fuel and security surcharges or lists them separately.
  • Book 2-3 days before your target ETD; same-day air bookings usually carry premium rates.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How long does CTG Express – General Cargo (KXPH) from China to United States take?

Air freight on this route runs about 5–10 business days door-to-door, plus roughly 2–5 days of clearance/dwell once it reaches the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP terms.

What duties and taxes apply when importing into United States?

Clearance is handled by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The regime is: No federal VAT; duty 0–6.5% by HTS code, with a de-minimis position of USD 800. Under DDP these are pre-paid, so nothing is collected on arrival.

Can you ship special cargo (batteries, branded goods) to United States?

Yes — battery cargo by air follows IATA PI966/PI967; we run certified battery channels via LAX, ORD (Chicago), JFK. Brand-goods and DG paperwork are handled within the DDP service. Surcharges apply.

How is the shipping cost on this route calculated?

We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000) and charge the greater, rounded up to the next kilogram, then apply the per-KG rate shown in the table above.

When does capacity tighten on the China–United States lane?

Space and rates tighten around Aug–Oct, plus the China-side windows of Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Book 1–2 weeks earlier in these periods.

What documents are required for customs clearance in United States?

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) typically requires a commercial invoice with HS codes, a packing list, the bill of lading/air waybill, a certificate of origin (may lower duty), and any product certification (FCC for radio devices; FDA Prior Notice for food/supplements). We file these under DDP.

I was very frustrated when my shipment got delayed. As a small business owner in California, I lost time and customers. LIN didn’t handle things well at first, and I felt ignored. But in the end, my shipment arrived safely and the freight company compensated me. I still lost valuable time. I later heard LIN lost his job, and honestly, that made me feel sorry for him.

Very impressed with this air express service to the US. We shipped electronics accessories to our New York customer and the parcel cleared customs on day five. The declared value was under the threshold and everything was handled cleanly. Our customer received it before our own confirmation email — that's how fast it moved. Great channel for time-sensitive small parcels.

Good experience shipping to California. The parcel went from our Shenzhen supplier's door to our customer's address in seven working days, which is solid for this lane. The DDP terms were honoured and the customs entry was filed accurately. The only thing I'd note is that the volumetric divisor rules should be explained a bit more clearly in the booking flow — we had to ask support to clarify. Support was helpful once we asked.

Outstanding service for US air freight. We've shipped over a dozen parcels on this channel and the consistency is the thing that stands out most. Whether it's a 0.5 KG sample or a 4 KG gift set, the process is identical — smooth, predictable, correctly billed. Customs have never raised a query. This is genuinely the most reliable China-to-US small parcel channel we've used in five years of importing.
