Furniture Shipping Cost from Amsterdam to Portland, Oregon

The Hague, September 19, 2025 – As of today, it is again possible to send parcels to the United States. This service was temporarily suspended on August 23 after the United States (US) decided to abolish the exemption from import duties for shipments valued up to $800 (the de minimis exemption) as of August 29.

The farther the package needs to travel, the longer it takes. A package from China to the US typically takes 7-15 days via standard air freight, while ocean freight may take 20-40 days. A shipment from Europe to the US can take 5-10 days via air and 15-30 days by sea.

Shipping a 100 lb package typically costs $70 to $140+ for ground services, varying significantly by distance, carrier (FedEx, UPS, USPS), and speed, with express options costing several hundred dollars; expect around $70-$80 for FedEx Ground, $140 for UPS Ground, or potentially more with handling fees, while USPS limits packages to 70 lbs, making UPS/FedEx better for this weight.
