Shipping from China to San Diego
Ship from China to San Diego

Shipping from China to San Diego, handled end to end

We move goods from factories in China to businesses in San Diego and across California: pickup at the supplier, sea or air freight, licensed customs clearance, duties, and delivery to your warehouse, store, or Amazon.

How it works

How goods get from China to San Diego

Most ocean freight bound for San Diego discharges at Los Angeles or Long Beach, clears customs there, and trucks south in about two hours. For smaller or urgent loads we fly into LAX or San Diego International. Some importers split the two: a container for the steady stock and air for the rush.

Transit by sea is about 16 to 24 days port to port, plus a day or two of trucking to San Diego. Air freight is usually 5 to 8 days door to door and express courier 3 to 6. We file the ISF before loading and prepare the entry while the freight is moving, so your cargo is not waiting on paperwork when it lands.

The same service covers the rest of California. Goods cleared at Los Angeles and Long Beach can deliver to Orange County, the Inland Empire, the Central Valley, or the Bay Area, and we price the final truck leg with the freight so there is one delivered number.

Where we deliver

  • Otay Mesa and Chula Vista
  • Kearny Mesa and Miramar
  • Carlsbad, Vista, and San Marcos
  • Escondido and El Cajon
  • Temecula and the Inland Empire
  • Anywhere else in California

Built for businesses that import on a schedule

We work with businesses that move physical goods: importers and distributors, wholesalers and retailers, Amazon and FBA sellers, e-commerce and private-label brands, furniture and home decor companies, apparel and fashion labels, construction-material suppliers, manufacturers bringing in components or raw materials, and industrial and automotive-parts companies. Any product category works, as long as it is physical commercial goods. That is where our door-to-door service pays off: we plan the freight, clear customs, and deliver, shipment after shipment.

Shipping from China to San Diego FAQ

How long does it take to ship from China to San Diego?

By sea, about 16 to 24 days port to port, plus a day or two of trucking to San Diego. By air, about 5 to 8 days door to door. Express courier is 3 to 6 days. Factory readiness and customs exams can add time, so we plan with a buffer.

What does it cost to ship from China to San Diego?

It depends on volume, weight, mode, and the product duty rate. A full container, a few pallets of LCL, and an air shipment are priced very differently. Send the details listed below and we quote freight, duty, and delivery together.

Is it cheaper to ship from China to Los Angeles and truck to San Diego?

Usually, yes. Direct container calls at the Port of San Diego are rare for Asia cargo, so Los Angeles and Long Beach with a short truck run is the standard, faster, and lower-cost route.

Do you handle customs clearance only?

Yes. If your freight is already booked, we can clear it on arrival. Customs clearance on its own is welcome, including cargo already at the port.
