Shipping from China to the USA
If your supplier quotes to Los Angeles and your warehouse is in Ohio, there is still an inland move to price. Give the forwarder the receiving ZIP code and ask for the cost and handoffs through delivery.
What does a warehouse delivery quote cover?
Ask for three named points on the quote: the China pickup address, the US port or airport, and the receiving address. For a port-only offer, request the release charges, inland transport and appointment costs separately. Ask which party will book the truck after release.
Will the receiver accept the truck?
For a distribution center, send its receiving hours, appointment procedure, pallet labels and unloading instructions. For a storefront, confirm truck access, whether there is a dock and who can unload. A liftgate request and an inside-delivery request describe different jobs.
An example shipment brief
Suppose 12 pallets are ready in Dongguan for an Ohio warehouse with a dock and a booked delivery window. Ask for the ocean option through the warehouse ZIP code. If two pallets are needed early, request a second price for air on those two and ocean on the other ten. Give the deadline for each lot.
Before the factory dispatches
Share a specific product description and intended use with the importer and broker. Some products require confirmation from a US agency. Check the requirements for the goods before committing to a sailing.
