How long does furniture shipping from China to the USA take?

DDP sea freight: 25–30 days to US West Coast, 30–35 days to East Coast. Air DDP: 3–7 days door to door for urgent orders.

Do I need ISPM-15 for solid wood furniture?

Yes. Solid wood packaging and furniture typically require ISPM-15 compliant treatment for US entry. GSC arranges crating and compliance when needed.

How is chargeable weight calculated for furniture sea freight?

Chargeable weight is the higher of actual weight or volumetric weight. Volumetric weight (kg) = L × W × H (cm) ÷ 6000. GSC uses the greater value for LCL furniture pricing.

FAQ

Furniture Shipping FAQ

How much does furniture shipping from China to the USA cost per kg?

2026 planning estimates: about $1.38–$3.22 USD/kg (sea + US delivery) by zip and weight tier. Example — LA zip 90–92: $1.87/kg at 101+ kg down to $1.38/kg at 3001+ kg. Under 1000 kg add ~$75 delivery/shipment; waived at 1001+ kg. See the rate table or request an all-inclusive DDP quote.

How is chargeable weight calculated?

Volumetric weight (kg) = L × W × H (cm) ÷ 6000. We bill on whichever is higher — actual kg or volumetric kg. Important for bulky flat-pack furniture.

LCL or FCL for furniture?

Under ~15 CBM, LCL is typical. Above that, FCL often lowers per-unit cost. We advise based on your volume and factory locations.

Can you ship from 1688 furniture suppliers?

Yes — consolidate multiple 1688 orders at our Guangzhou warehouse. See 1688 → USA guide.

What do you need for a quote?

Product photos or description, estimated CBM/dimensions, weight if known, US delivery zip, and DDP or DDU preference.
