The good market momentum has also created thousands of local U.S. e-commerce sellers and pet product suppliers. Today, Senghor Logistics will talk about how to ship pet products to the United States.
According to the category, common pet products are:

Moving supplies: pet backpacks, car cages, trolleys, dog chains, etc.;

Endurance supplies: dog chew toys, etc.
However, these classifications are not fixed. Different suppliers and pet product brands may classify them according to their product lines and positioning.
To ship pet products from China to the United States, there are many logistics options, including sea freight, air freight, and express delivery services. Each method has its own unique advantages and considerations, suitable for importers of different sizes and needs.
Sea Freight
Sea freight is one of the most economical modes of transportation, especially for large quantities of pet products. Although sea freight takes a long time, which may take several weeks to a month, it has obvious cost advantages and is suitable for the bulk transportation of regular products that are not in a hurry to go to market. The minimum shipping volume is 1CBM.
Air Freight
Air freight is a faster mode of transportation, suitable for medium-volume goods. Although the cost is higher than sea freight, it is much lower than express delivery services, and the transportation time only takes a few days to a week. Air freight can reduce inventory pressure and respond quickly to market demand. The minimum air freight volume is 45 kg, and 100 kg for some countries.
Express Delivery
For small quantities or pet products that need to arrive quickly, direct express delivery is a quick and convenient option. Through international express companies such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, etc., products can be sent directly from China to the United States within a few days, which is suitable for high-value, small-volume, and light-weight goods. The minimum shipping volume can be 0.5 kg.
Other related services: warehousing and door-to-door
Warehousing can be used in the links of sea freight and air freight. Usually, the goods of pet product suppliers are concentrated in the warehouse and then shipped out in a unified manner. Door-to-door means that the goods are shipped from your pet product supplier to your designated address, which is a very convenient one-stop service.
