How do you ship oversize items from China to the USA?
Two ways: express oversize delivery — pieces up to 300 cm combined girth and 48 kg each ship with zero oversize/overweight surcharges and no residential-fee penalty (5–8 business days, from ~$9.2/kg); or LTL/FTL trucking for palletized and crated loads above those limits, by sea or air line-haul.
Most US couriers hit bulky parcels with $50–150+ per-piece oversize, overweight and residential surcharges — sometimes exceeding the freight itself. Our oversize express channel is negotiated differently:
Limit | Within limits | Standard couriers |
Combined girth ≤ 300 cm per piece | No oversize fee | $50–150+/piece |
Actual weight ≤ 48 kg per piece | No overweight fee | $50–100+/piece |
Residential (non-commercial) address | No residential fee | $15–30/piece |
Operational/handling fee | None | varies |
Indicative rates (Q4 2026, DDP): 23 kg+ pieces from $9.2–10.3/kg, 5–8 business days to West Coast pickup; battery-accepted variant available. Volumetric at /6000 with diversion on selected lines.
For crated machinery, furniture, gym equipment, e-bikes and multi-piece loads beyond 300 cm / 48 kg per piece:
Line-haul by sea (standard or fast boat) or air for urgent pieces
US LTL/FTL delivery with liftgate, inside-delivery and white-glove options
Wooden crates/frames built or verified at our warehouse to ISPM-15 and handling standards
Direct lanes to New York, Savannah, Chicago and Houston for East/Midwest destinations
Furniture & home goods · gym & fitness equipment · e-bikes & scooters (battery rules apply) · industrial parts & machinery · trade-show exhibits · large appliances · outdoor & garden equipment.
Restricted: anti-dumping categories (some furniture lines, tires, steel products) carry stacking duties — we screen HS codes at quotation. Steel/aluminum/copper content triggers Section 232 surcharges; declare materials accurately.
Send dimensions, weight per piece and destination ZIP (residential or commercial).
We return an itemized DDP quote — freight, duties, delivery, no destination surprises.
Pickup anywhere in China; export packing verified.
Line-haul + US clearance on our bond + final-mile trucking or oversize express delivery.
1. What counts as "oversize" for US delivery?
Couriers apply oversize fees on combined length+girth above ~330 cm and heavy weights above ~68 kg; our express channel clears 300 cm girth / 48 kg with no surcharge — the practical ceiling for parcel-style oversize delivery.
2. How much does it cost to ship large items from China to the USA?
Oversize express: ~$9.2–10.3/kg DDP (23 kg+), 5–8 business days. Crated LTL loads are quoted per shipment — sea line-haul typically lands well below air for anything over ~100 kg.
3. Can you deliver to residential addresses?
Yes — with no residential surcharge within the express oversize limits, and liftgate/inside delivery available for trucked loads.
4. Can I ship an e-bike or scooter?
Yes on sea line-haul and designated channels (built-in battery rules apply; power banks/loose cells prohibited). Note e-bikes face anti-dumping duties — we verify the duty stack before quoting.
5. Do you handle export crating?
We verify and rebuild wooden crates to ISPM-15 and handling standards at origin when needed — included in the quote on request.
