Shipping 3D printeres from China

The latest data shows that China exported 270,000 3D printers in July, 2024, a year-on-year increase of 14.8%. About 94% of the world's entry-level 3D printer shipments come from Chinese suppliers, and the US market remains the primary terminal market for entry-level 3D printer shipments, which shows that the current Chinese brands of 3D printer products are developing very well.

So, how to ship 3D printers from China to the United States?

First, understand the location of your supplier

3D printers are one of the relatively hot categories in recent years. Although China's 3D printer manufacturers are distributed in many provinces and regions, these exported 3D printers mainly come from Guangdong Province (especially Shenzhen), Zhejiang Province, Shandong Province, etc. in China.

These provinces have corresponding large international ports, namely Yantian Port, Shekou Port in Shenzhen, Nansha Port in Guangzhou, Ningbo Port, Shanghai Port, Qingdao Port, etc. Therefore, by confirming the location of the supplier, you can basically determine the port of shipment.

There are also large international airports in or near the provinces where these suppliers are located, such as Shenzhen Bao'an Airport, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, Shanghai Pudong or Hongqiao Airport, Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport, Shandong Jinan or Qingdao Airport, etc.

Senghor Logistics is located in Shenzhen, Guangdong, and can handle goods shipped nationwide. If your supplier is not close to the port, but in an inland area, we can also arrange for pickup and transportation to our warehouse near the port.

Second, choose the logistics method for shipping from China to USA

There are two ways to ship from China to USA: sea freight and air freight.

Sea freight from China to USA:

You can choose FCL or LCL for transportation according to the volume of your 3D printer cargo, taking into account the budget and the urgency of receiving the goods. (Click here to see the difference between FCL and LCL)

Now many shipping companies have opened routes from China to the United States, including COSCO, Matson, ONE, CMA CGM, HPL, MSC, HMM, etc. Each company's freight rates, service, port of call, and sailing time are different, which may take you some time to study.

Professional freight forwarders can help you solve the above problems. As long as you inform the freight forwarder of the specific cargo information (product name, weight, volume, supplier address and contact information, destination, and cargo ready time), the freight forwarder will provide you with a suitable loading solution and the corresponding shipping company and shipping schedule.

Air freight from China to USA:

Air freight is the most convenient and fastest way to ship goods, and it will take no more than a week to receive the goods. If you want to receive the goods in a short period of time, air freight may be an ideal choice.

There are multiple airports from China to the United States, which also depends on the address of your supplier and your destination. Generally, customers can choose to pick up the goods at the airport or they can be delivered to your address by your freight forwarder.

Regardless of sea freight or air freight, there are characteristics. Sea freight is relatively cheap, but takes longer, especially when shipping by LCL; air freight takes less time, but is generally more expensive. When choosing a shipping method, the best one is the one that suits you. And for machines, sea freight is the most commonly used mode.

Third, consider the price

1. Tips to reduce costs:

(1) Choose to purchase insurance. This may seem like spending money, but insurance can save you from some losses if you encounter an accident during shipping process.

(2) Choose a reliable and experienced freight forwarder. An experienced freight forwarder will know how to make a cost-effective solution for you and will also have sufficient knowledge of import tax rates.

2. Choose your incoterms

Common incoterms include FOB, EXW, CIF, DDU, DDP, DAP, etc. Each trade term defines a different scope of liability for each party. You can choose according to your needs.

3. Understand duty and tax

The freight forwarder you choose needs to have an in-depth study of the US import customs clearance rates. Since the Sino-US trade war, the imposition of additional duties has caused cargo owners to have to pay huge tariffs. For the same product, the tariff rates and tariff amounts may vary greatly due to the choice of different HS codes for customs clearance.
