Appliances Shipping Cost from Chengdu to Munich

Shipping a 20ft container from China to the USA typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,000, depending on the route and time of year. This average price range applies to standard dry cargo moving from major Chinese ports such as Shanghai, Shenzhen or Ningbo to U.S. West Coast or East Coast gateways.

Shipping from China varies wildly, from under $10 for small express parcels to thousands for full containers, depending heavily on Weight/Volume, Speed (Air vs. Sea), and Service (Courier vs. Freight Forwarder), with express couriers (DHL, FedEx) around $5-12/kg for small goods, standard air freight $3-8/kg for bulk, and ocean freight container costs (FCL/LCL) ranging from ~$2,000-$3,500 per 20ft container or $50-$80/CBM for LCL.

When shipping from China to Europe, there are four primary shipping methods: sea freight, air freight, rail freight, and multimodal shipping. Each method has its advantages and is suitable for different types of shipments. Let's take a closer look at each.
