- Pre-shipment inspection — verify quantity, dimensions, and visible damage (inspection services)
FCL vs LCL for Machinery
Full Container Load (FCL)
Best when shipping complete machines, large equipment, or high-volume parts orders that fill a container. Lower per-unit cost and dedicated container space.
Less Than Container Load (LCL)
Cost-effective for smaller spare parts orders (1–10 CBM). We consolidate your parts with other cargo at our Guangzhou warehouse and ship as one DDP shipment.
US Customs for Industrial Imports
Machinery and parts require correct HS code classification — duty rates vary significantly by product type. Under DDP terms, GSC arranges US customs clearance with licensed brokers, who handle:
- Commercial invoice and packing list preparation
- HS code classification and duty calculation
- Import clearance and tax payment
- Delivery to your factory, warehouse, or job site
Transit Times
- Sea DDP: 25–30 days (West Coast) · 30–35 days (East Coast)
- Air DDP: 3–7 days for urgent spare parts
