How goods get from China to Los Angeles
Ocean cargo from China lands at the San Pedro Bay ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the busiest Asia gateway in the country, so there are frequent sailings and competitive rates. Air cargo arrives at LAX. We clear it where it lands and deliver across Southern California, usually within a few days of release.
Transit by sea is about 14 to 22 days port to port. Air freight is usually 5 to 8 days door to door and express courier 3 to 6. We file the ISF before loading and prepare the entry while the freight is moving, so your cargo is not waiting on paperwork when it lands.
Ship from China to California and most of it comes through here. From Los Angeles and Long Beach we deliver to the Bay Area, the Central Valley, San Diego, and out of state, and we price the final truck or rail leg with the freight so you get one delivered number.
