Frequently Asked Questions for FBA shipment

Transit Time From China To Other Countries

When people are going to get cargo shipped from China to other countries, they always want to know how long the transportation will take. But when you are using ships to get cargo out of China, there can only be a very rough idea about the ETT (estimated transit time, between the estimated time of departure and estimated time of arrival) .

Here is a rough ETT from China to other countries, use it as reference.

RegionETT
USA & Canada (West)20 days
USA & Canada (Eest)30 days
Western Europe25 days
Northern Europe30 days
Southern Europe27 days
Australia15 days
India15 days
Southeast Asia9 days
Eastern Africa30 days

South America (East)30 days
South America (West)45 days

 

Please know that there could be 4 to 9 days difference in transportation that vary from different carriers, loading port and unloading port.

Here is another chart that shows the time for using different carrier from China’s Qingdao Port to Germany’s Hamburg Port.

Sea carriers never guarantee the ETD and ETA to be accurate, so there may be another 7 days (or even more) before the cargo is loaded or unloaded.

ForestShipping’s Suggestion

Ocean transportation is slow, so you need to have generous margins and plan for the possible delays. Furthermore, most manufactures in China need time to produce your products. So make sure that you place your order as early as possible. Let’s say you want to have your products ready before Christmas, you should get your order placed before September or August or even earlier.
