Discover Your Shipping Options
We offer sea and air freight shipping services from the USA to China and from China to the USA to help you achieve desired delivery outcomes. As the US and China don’t have a direct land connection, sea and air freight shipping are your only options.
While sea shipping offers in-expensive and bulk shipping options, it is slow and may cause delays in your supply chain. On the contrary, air freight is fast and reliable, but it can be expensive and has multiple rules and restrictions you must abide by. Based on your requirements, you can choose suitable freight delivery modes.
Let’s dive deep into understanding the different freight mode services we offer.
Ocean Freight Service
Ocean freight is considered the most economical way of transporting goods over long distances. It is also the most eco-friendly mode of transportation compared to air or ground transportation. We at AIR 7 SEAS offer reliable ocean freight shipment services to streamline your goods transportation from the US to China or vice versa.
You can choose between our full container load (FCL) for shipping complete containers and less than container load (LCL) for small cargo volume transport services. Being the best ocean freight forwarders, we are NVOCC-certified by FMC for international shipping by sea and can safely handle your sea freight shipping from the USA to China and vice versa.
Air Freight Services
We are certified with IATA membership and other essential licenses to help you ship your perishable items or high-value products using our reliable air freight shipment services. When shipping by air freight from China to the USA and vice versa, the goods are typically loaded onto cargo planes and flown to their destination.
The shipping method is generally more expensive than sea freight, but it offers faster transit times, typically ranging from 14 to 20 hours, depending on the routing of air freight from the USA to China and vice versa.
Express shipping (Courier)
Deliver small shipment packages quickly by availing of AIR 7 SEAS express shipping services between the US and China. We have associations with professional express courier shipping service providers like FedEx, DHL, UPS, EMS, and Aliexpress shipping. But ensure that the shipment weight is 5 C.B.M.s and 20 kilograms to avoid future troubles during the express transit process.

These include heavy machinery, construction equipment, industrial plants, and large-scale infrastructure projects.
