Practical Guide to China–U.S. Dedicated Line Logistics: 5 Things You Must Know Before Shipping

Welcome to our China–U.S. dedicated logistics service! Whether you're a cross-border eCommerce seller, an FBA supplier, or a traditional B2B exporter, understanding the basic process and key details of China–U.S. logistics will help you ship more efficiently and with greater peace of mind.

Here are 5 practical points you should know:

1. What Is China–U.S. Dedicated Line Logistics?

China–U.S. dedicated lines refer to specialized logistics routes with fixed transportation channels, streamlined customs clearance, and tailored last-mile delivery services from China to the U.S.
They offer stable transit times, cost-efficiency, and simplified procedures.
Common service types include:

Ocean Freight (FCL/LCL) – for large-volume, cost-sensitive shipments

Air Freight – for time-sensitive goods

Express Line – for small, high-value parcels

DDP Door-to-Door – all-inclusive, tax-paid delivery; worry-free option

2. What Documents Should Be Prepared Before Shipping?

To ensure smooth customs clearance, please prepare the following:
✅ Product name, use, material
✅ Declaration details (e.g., with battery, liquid, or magnetic materials)
✅ English Invoice and Packing List
✅ For special items: MSDS, UN38.3, battery certificates, etc.

3. Should I Choose DDP or DDU?

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): We handle taxes and customs for you. Ideal for sellers without U.S. import qualifications.

DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid): You handle duties and customs clearance. Suitable for U.S.-based companies with local operations.

We recommend DDP for most cross-border sellers—it’s the simplest, most reliable, and most transparent option.

4. How Is My Cargo Delivered in the U.S.?

Our dedicated line service includes:
✔ U.S. customs brokerage
✔ Last-mile delivery via UPS/USPS/truck
✔ Optional Amazon FBA warehouse appointments

5. How Can I Improve My Shipping Efficiency?

Prepare inventory early to avoid peak season congestion

Clearly identify product attributes to prevent clearance issues

Work with an experienced logistics provider

Confirm labeling and appointment requirements for FBA shipments

Use our U.S. warehouse for returns, relabeling, or local dispatch
