Route overview
Choose the US gateway around the final delivery point
A China-to-USA shipment is not a single fixed route. The most suitable plan depends on the supplier location, cargo volume, urgency, final ZIP code, importer arrangements and delivery conditions. West Coast entry may shorten the ocean leg, while East Coast, Gulf Coast or direct air routing may reduce inland handling for other destinations.
Rey Logistics compares the complete movement from China pickup through export handling, international transport and US delivery. The objective is to avoid choosing a low ocean or air rate that creates higher destination, rail, truck or appointment costs later.

Route questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers are planning guidance. The actual shipment must still be reviewed against current capacity, customs and delivery conditions.
