Shipping a 40ft container from China to the USA typically costs $3,000 to $7,000, but prices fluctuate significantly based on the US coast (West Coast cheaper), seasonality (peak times higher), port pair, and current surcharges, with potential for higher costs during peak demand. Expect rates from roughly $3,000–$6,000 for the West Coast and $4,000–$7,500 for the East Coast, excluding destination charges like customs and inland transport.
