Route overview
Plan the New York/New Jersey gateway around Northeast delivery
China-to-New York freight may use all-water ocean services to the New York/New Jersey port market or air freight through a suitable regional airport. The route should include customs release, terminal or deconsolidation, and delivery to the final Northeast address.
For some shipments, West Coast entry plus rail may also be compared. The better choice depends on the final ZIP code, cargo urgency, carrier service, destination handling and warehouse requirements.
