China-to-US shipping routes: air, sea, DHL, sensitive goods, batteries, and oversized cargo

Select a service from the goods profile, delivery deadline, final carton, and US address instead of choosing the lowest published rate first.

Choose by scenario

Eligible standard personal goods where a shorter delivery schedule is important.

Eligible urgent standard goods where express service and its tax treatment are appropriate.

Suitable non-urgent goods, heavier cartons, and eligible sensitive items under route-specific conditions.

Standalone batteries, equipment, furniture, and oversize shipments that need specialised packing and delivery review.

Identify standard, sensitive, food, liquid, battery-powered, standalone battery, branded, high-value, or restricted goods.

Decide whether the recipient needs an urgent, normal, or flexible delivery window.

Use final carton data and consider dimensional weight, weight bands, long sides, girth, and packing requirements.

Provide a full US street address and ZIP code, then confirm PO Box, remote, apartment, school, business, or unloading conditions.

Send the goods list, final or estimated carton data, full delivery address, and required timing for a review.
