How long does shipping to Asia take?
Sea freight from the USA to Asia typically takes about 4 to 8 weeks port to port, depending on the route and destination. Door-to-door delivery takes longer because of collection, customs clearance and final delivery. Air cargo usually arrives within a few days to two weeks.
Can I ship a car to Asia?
Yes, cars can be shipped by RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) or inside a container to most countries. Import rules differ a lot: some countries have age limits, high duties or ban used car imports. Check the rules for your destination before you ship.
Should I choose a full or shared container?
A full container (FCL) is usually best for a full household of 2 bedrooms or more. A shared container (LCL) is often cheaper for smaller moves, because you only pay for the space you use, but it can take longer.
