SHIPMENT PREPARATION

Cost factors

Ask the team to identify included charges, excluded charges and the point where delivery responsibility ends.

Packed weight & space

Compare gross and volumetric weight using the confirmed divisor. Agree per-piece / shipment assessment, rounding and minimum weight after final warehouse measurement.

Air & gateway charges

Confirm freight, fuel / security adjustments, origin handling, export clearance and AWB-related charges for the selected departure.

US arrival & delivery

List customs clearance, handling, duties and fees, transfer and final delivery separately. Review the ZIP code, oversized cargo and receiving appointment.

Handover responsibilities

Guangzhou → CAN / HKG

Agree supplier receiving, consolidation, parcel bagging, final measurements and export paperwork before release to the agreed air gateway.

LAX / ORD / JFK → US recipient

After arrival at LAX / ORD / JFK, the US shipping partner coordinates customs clearance and postal induction. USPS handles final delivery after accepting the parcel. Confirm the importer, duties and fees, and delivery scope for your shipment.

CZ / 784 and CX / 160 identify airlines and AWB prefixes. They are not flight numbers or a confirmed schedule.

Cargo acceptance review

Share the exact product, material / use and packing details. Batteries, liquids, powders, magnets, food, cosmetics and wood packaging need service-specific review; a product category alone does not confirm acceptance.
