Appliances Shipping Cost from Shanghai to Tampa, Florida

Ocean freight from Shanghai to the USA takes 15 to 40 days (port-to-port), depending on the type of load (FCL or LCL) and the port of arrival – West Coast is generally faster to reach from China than East Coast ports. Air freight is much faster, with expedited options ranging from 1 to 3 days.

How much does it cost to send freight from China to Miami? It could cost as much as US$ 13.58/KG direct plane to ship 100 kg of freight from China to Miami, Florida or as little as US$ 2.02/KG if shipped by indirect (multiple stops) boat.

A cargo ship from China to the US West Coast generally takes 2-4 weeks, while going to the East Coast (via the Panama Canal) usually takes 4-6 weeks, but times vary greatly with route, port congestion, ship speed, and customs, often ranging from 15 to over 40 days for ocean transit alone. Faster express services or slower standard options exist, with port-to-port transit being quicker (e.g., 12-18 days West Coast) than the full door-to-door experience.
