Transit times vary by service route:

U.S. West Coast (e.g., Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle): 12–18 days

U.S. Gulf Coast (e.g., Houston, Savannah, New Orleans): 25–35 days

U.S. East Coast (e.g., New York/New Jersey, Baltimore, Charleston): 28–38 days

Please note: The above durations are estimated transit times and do not include cutoff, container loading, inland transportation, customs clearance, or final delivery. Total door-to-door time will vary based on origin, destination, and routing.

FCL (Full Container Load) means one shipper uses one entire container.

Benefits include:

• Higher security
• More stable transit time
• No mixing with other cargo
• Lower cost for larger volumes

LCL (Less than Container Load) is for smaller shipments (<10 CBM) combined with other buyers.

Price differences come from:

• Service frequency & space availability
• Direct vs. transshipment routes
• Transit time reliability
• Market supply & demand (GRI, PSS, congestion surcharges)
• Volume-based rate agreements

ISF (Importer Security Filing) must be submitted 24 hours before vessel departure.

Late or missing ISF may result in:

• USD 5,000–10,000 fines
• Clearance delays
• Higher exam risk

Common types:

• MBL – Master Bill of Lading (Carrier)
• HBL – House Bill of Lading (Forwarder)
• Telex Release – No need for original BL
• Original BL – Physical documents

It is not required from the shipper; it is handled by the importer and their broker.
