Shipping Container Costs to United States of America
If youโre looking for variety, Los Angeles is full of it. The mega multicultural city has got almost every natural feature, from mountains and forests to beaches and lakes. The city life is exciting here, but you donโt need to go far if you want a break from the skyscrapers and busy roads. In fact, the only thing that isnโt varied about Los Angeles is the weather; itโs super sunny almost all of the time. The City of Angels has 284 sunny days every year on average, which is really quite a lot of sun.Different shipping options
Youโve got a decision to make: will you send your stuff by air or sea? The two main options in the world of international shipping are container ships and cargo planes. If you send your stuff via air then itโs pretty quick but also very expensive, while sending your stuff via sea is cheaper and slower. MoveHub heartily recommends using a container ship but it does require a bit of advanced planning. Most of our partners will provide you with a proper door-to-door service, but make sure you check with them before you agree on any terms. You also need to choose between a 20-foot and 40-foot container, which depends on how much stuff you want to bring.Major shipping routes
The Port of Los Angeles is known as โAmericaโs Portโ, which is very misleading as America actually has a lot of ports, but itโs fair to say that LAโs is probably the most important. Itโs the biggest in the country and receives about 20% of Americaโs annual cargo. The port stretches along 43 miles of waterfront and it really is a sight to see (โcolourfulโ is an understatement). It promotes itself as โthe port of possibilitiesโ, but the only possibility we care about is the one where your stuff arrives quickly and safely.American customs
The US love their rules and regulations. Customs is obviously something you need to get your stuff through but itโs not as daunting as it sounds. The main requirement is that you complete a โDeclaration for Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articlesโ, which is basically where you tell America what youโre bringing into the country. Be honest, clear and specific and youโll have no trouble. Check out the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website for more information.Shipping Container Options
