FAQ

Ocean Freight questions

What is the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL (Full Container Load) gives you exclusive use of an entire container. LCL (Less than Container Load) combines your cargo with other shippers in a shared container, so you pay only for the space you use.
How long does ocean freight take?
Transpacific Asia to U.S. West Coast typically takes 14–20 days port to port; Asia to U.S. East Coast 28–35 days; Europe to U.S. East Coast 10–16 days.
Do you handle U.S. customs for ocean imports?
Yes. Our licensed customs brokers file ISF (10+2), entry and duty payments so your container clears quickly.
