Dédouanement
FCL shipments from Chine require ISF filing 24 hours before vessel departure. CBP Form 7501 is required for formal entry upon arrival. Section 301 tariffs apply based on HTS classification — FCL importers should ensure all cargo in a container is properly manifested with correct HTS codes even when mixing multiple SKUs. Container exams (VACIS X-ray, intensive, or tailgate) may be triggered — cargo insurance and demurrage insurance are recommended. AMS (Automated Manifest System) must be filed by the carrier 24 hours before arrival at US port.
Tarif et droits
FCL shipments are assessed the same tariff rates as LCL — determined by HTS classification of cargo. Section 301 tariffs of 7.5–25% apply on top of MFN rates. For FCL shipments with mixed cargo, each product line is assessed at its applicable rate. CBP audits FCL manifests carefully — ensuring correct commodity descriptions prevents potential fraud allegations. Significant under-valuation of FCL cargo is a common CBP enforcement target.
Faits clés
- All Container Types Available
We book 20ft, 40ft, 40HC, reefer, flat-rack, and open-top containers on all major carriers — COSCO, Evergreen, Hapag-Lloyd, Maersk, MSC, and ONE — with consistent capacity on trans-Pacific lanes.
- Booking Lead Time Guidance
Trans-Pacific FCL requires 4–8 weeks booking lead time in normal markets, extending to 10–14 weeks during peak season (July–October). We advise importers on optimal booking windows to secure competitive rates.
- SOC vs COC Containers
Shipper-Owned Containers (SOC) can reduce demurrage costs and provide more flexibility on return logistics. We advise on SOC vs COC (Carrier-Owned Container) economics for high-volume Chine importers.

Notre équipe locale est prête à analyser vos besoins de fret spécifiques.
Parler à un expertWhat is FCL shipping and how does it differ from LCL?
FCL (Full Container Load) means you book and fill an entire container exclusively for your cargo. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares container space with other shippers' goods. FCL is typically more cost-effective above 15 CBM, offers better cargo security (no consolidation/deconsolidation handling), and often has faster transit times (no CFS processing). LCL adds 5–10 jours for consolidation at origin and deconsolidation at destination.
What container sizes are available for shipping from Chine to the États-Unis?
Standard options include: 20ft (25–28 CBM, max payload ~28 tons), 40ft standard (55–60 CBM, max payload ~26 tons), 40ft High Cube (76 CBM, 2.69m internal height), reefer containers (temperature-controlled, 28–67 CBM depending on size), and flat-rack/open-top containers for OOG cargo. The 40HC is the most popular choice for trans-Pacific due to its volume efficiency.
How far in advance should I book FCL from Chine?
In normal market conditions: 4–6 weeks lead time is recommended. During peak season (July–October): 8–14 weeks lead time. After major disruptions (Chinese New Year, port congestion events, COVID-type disruptions): lead times can extend significantly. We offer a capacity reservation program for regular importers to secure confirmed space months in advance.
What is the difference between SOC and COC containers?
COC (Carrier-Owned Container) is the standard arrangement where the shipping line owns the container and you pay demurrage if it is not returned promptly at destination. SOC (Shipper-Owned Container) means you own or lease the container — you are not subject to carrier demurrage, but you arrange the container's return or re-use. SOC can be beneficial for high-volume importers with multiple lanes, as it reduces demurrage exposure and provides container flexibility.
What happens if my FCL container is selected for exam by CBP?
CBP may select containers for VACIS (non-intrusive X-ray) scan or intensive examination. VACIS is relatively quick (1–2 jours delay). Intensive exams require the container to be unloaded at a CES (Centralized Examination Station) — this can delay cargo by 5–10 jours and cost $1,000–$5,000+ in exam fees (paid by the importer). Suaid Global monitors exam notices and coordinates CES appointments to minimize delays. Exam insurance can cover these unexpected costs.
What are typical FCL rates from Chine to the États-Unis?
Trans-Pacific FCL rates fluctuate significantly — from under $2,000/40HC in oversupply markets to over $20,000/40HC during pandemic-era capacity crunches. As of 2025–2026, rates have normalized but remain elevated compared to pre-2020 levels. Rates vary by port pair, vessel service, season, and carrier. Suaid Global provides real-time market rate quotes and offers rate protection programs for importers planning ahead.
