Sea freight from/to the US
With ports like Los Angeles, New York, and Savannah, the USA is well-positioned for ocean freight across the Atlantic and Pacific. It’s a great option for bulk shipping and container shipping, but things can get complicated—congestion, tight ocean freight capacity, and strict port logistics often cause delays. We handle every step of your freight forwarding by sea, from port coordination to intermodal shipping and optimized shipping routes. Whether it’s FCL, LCL, or bulk cargo transport, we’ve got you covered. Reach out now for a free quote or personalized advice for your sea cargo to or from the U.S.
Major Port in the USA
Port of Los Angeles
Location and volume: Located in Southern California on the Pacific Coast, the Port of Los Angeles is the busiest port in the United States. In 2023, it handled over 8.6 million TEUs, making it a central gateway for trans-Pacific ocean shipping.
Key trade partners and strategic importance: The port plays a vital role in trade with Asia—particularly China, Japan, and South Korea. It’s known for its advanced infrastructure and is a key hub in the U.S. supply chain.
Context for businesses: Ideal for businesses importing goods from Asia or exporting from the West Coast, this port supports high-volume container shipping and offers direct connections to rail and road networks for efficient distribution across North America.
Air freight from/to the US
With major hubs like Chicago O’Hare, Los Angeles, and Atlanta, the U.S. offers strong air cargo connections across the globe. Air transport is ideal when speed matters—think urgent deliveries, high-value items, or temperature-sensitive goods. But air shipping in the U.S. can be costly and comes with strict size and weight limits. We manage every detail of your air logistics, from booking space on cargo planes to customs clearance. Whether you’re shipping to or from the U.S., we make the transport of goods by plane simple and reliable. We handle shipments starting from 100 kg or 0.5 m³—reach out for a free quote.
Major international airports in the US
Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD)
Freight volume: Handles over 2 million metric tons of air cargo annually, making it one of the busiest cargo airports in the United States.
Main trading partners: Key routes connect the U.S. to China, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and South Korea.
Strategic importance: Centrally located with access to major domestic and international markets, ORD serves as a hub for both exports and imports moving across North America.
Notable characteristics: Offers 24/7 customs clearance, multiple cargo terminals, and direct access to rail and highway networks for seamless inland distribution.
For your business: If you need fast, reliable air shipping across the U.S. or internationally, O’Hare is a powerful gateway for time-sensitive or high-value goods. It’s especially efficient for freight moving between Asia, Europe, and the American Midwest.
Customs clearance in the US
Shipping to or from the USA means dealing with strict customs regulations and detailed paperwork. Missing or incorrect customs documentation, unclear customs declarations, or unexpected customs duties can cause costly delays. That’s why our customs brokers handle everything—from customs clearance procedures to inspections and compliance checks. With our customs expertise, we simplify every step, making sure your shipment meets U.S. requirements without surprises. Whether it’s managing formalities or navigating customs tariffs, our team provides reliable customs clearance services so your goods can move smoothly across U.S. borders.

I contacted DocShipper to organize the import of board games from Asia to Switzerland. Despite my lack of experience in the field and the modest size of my request, my dealings with the staff were always professional and efficient. I received sound advice and the staff always took the time to answer my questions. I look forward to working with DocShipper for the import of my goods and highly recommend their services.

December 10, 2024My name is Ad Van Den Bosh. I am a Dutch business man cross-trading in the Far East. I reached Robert Houwayek (DocShipper's representative) to clear a 40HC of greenhouse equipment from Qingdao, and deliver it to Lan Krabue in no time. He suggested that I request a Form E, which I did from the supplier, and was able to enjoy a preferential tariff treatment. DocShipper, a way to help you save both time and money!!

March 5, 2024I recently used Docshipper to ship my appliances from Germany to Thailand, and I'm thrilled with the service I received! [...]The team was professional, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. The packaging and handling of my appliances were top-notch, and they arrived in perfect condition. I was impressed with the attention to detail and care taken to ensure a safe and successful transport. I really recommend Docshipper for it.

November 28, 2024In the event of goods being stuck at customs, Robert [...] is a customs broker you should arguably consider to release your cargo. Once I knew that my scale modeling tools coming from Spain are being withheld at Suvarnabhumi Airport, I resorted to him to release it and handle the last mile delivery. All what he asked me is to send 2 emails to be able to do it! [...] Well guess what, within 48 hours, it was done! I got my parcel at my place in Phuket.

Mar 5, 2024A vice president caught up in the thick of thin things, an EXW shipment of plumbing supplies for irrigation from Eureka California to Costa Rica is definitely not what I’d like to have on my agenda. Robert’s hang-in-there posture toward any arising challenges in shipping. [...] skillfully handled all US export formalities incl. SED/AES filing, not to mention the sea freight from Oakland POL. Everything ended up working out like a charm!

July 10, 2024I feel they covered everything. DocShipper shipped a 20- ft Milvan overseas to Laem Chabang for a customer. The team was responsible for shipping the shipping to another country. Having very little knowledge in this area, I didn't know how to organise myself . One week after my arrival on the Asian continent. Marc O. Was available at all times and nearly instant feedback. Made a stressful event much easier and he definitely knows his job.
