Asia freight coordination

Asia accounts for over 60% of global manufacturing output and the Middle East invests trillions in infrastructure and economic diversification. China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and the Gulf states produce and consume everything — from electronics to petrochemicals. But the distance, customs complexity, constantly changing regulations, halal requirements, and local standards turn every shipment into a minefield. We know every mine and how to navigate around them.

Regional FAQ

Asia freight questions, answered.

Local constraints, service coverage and how to turn a regional plan into a quote.

It depends on the destination. Asia to the US West Coast runs about 18–30 days; to the US East Coast 28–40 days. Asia to Europe takes 30–45 days, longer when vessels reroute around Africa. Air freight from Asia takes 4–8 days. We confirm your lane's transit at quote time.
Major gateways include Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, and Qingdao in China, plus Ho Chi Minh City, Mumbai (Nhava Sheva), Busan, and Singapore. Singapore and Hong Kong act as transshipment hubs. Routing depends on your supplier location and destination.
Yes. We arrange buyer's consolidation — your origin agent collects cargo from several factories and a partner CFS combines it under one House Bill of Lading. This lowers per-unit ocean cost versus booking separate LCL shipments.
Our licensed customs broker partners analyze your HTS codes to determine the duties that apply, including Section 301 and any current blanket tariffs. We can also advise on China+1 sourcing from Vietnam, India, or other markets to manage exposure.
We support electronics, e-commerce and Amazon FBA, furniture, textiles and apparel, machinery, and auto parts. Asia is a primary sourcing region, so we focus on reliable export coordination and customs compliance.
