Shipping from Shenzhen to USA: Ports, Routes & Transit Times

Shenzhen is one of the world's largest export hubs — home to Yantian and Shekou ports, thousands of electronics factories, and direct ocean services to Los Angeles, Long Beach, and East Coast ports.

Why Ship from Shenzhen?

Shenzhen handles a massive share of China's electronics, consumer goods, and tech exports. Proximity to Hong Kong, mature supply chains, and frequent vessel sailings make it a top origin for US importers.

GSC collects from Shenzhen factories or consolidates at our Guangzhou warehouse (2 hours by truck) for cost-effective LCL and FCL shipping.
