Oversized Air Freight Door-to-Door USA from China handles heavy and bulky consignments that sit at the edge of parcel limits, moved on a duty-paid DDP basis. Machines, large components, furniture and industrial spares often exceed standard carton sizes, so the shipment is planned around weight, dimensions and handling from the start. We collect from the supplier, verify the packing, fly the cargo on booked space, clear both customs ends, pay duty and import tax under our customs bond, and complete the last leg with the right equipment, including liftgate service where no dock exists. One landed price covers freight, clearance, duty and delivery.
Data: Double clearance means two customs events handled end to end: export declaration in China plus import clearance in the United States. Tax included means we advance and settle all applicable US import duties and taxes as importer of record. In one flat rate that is three bundled actions: export declaration, import clearance and duty payment.
Conclusion: The quote behaves as a single landed cost with no customs follow-up owed by the consignee.
Data: Oversized cases are handled as freight. We confirm dimensions, gross weight, stacking and centre of gravity, then select the aircraft and the final-mile equipment, including liftgate or tail-lift for sites without a loading dock. Crating or edge protection is added where the shape is vulnerable.
Conclusion: Planning on weight and geometry at booking is what keeps a heavy shipment moving without a late re-quote or a failed delivery.
Data: The commercial invoice, packing list, an accurate dimension and weight sheet, the air waybill and, for crated wooden pallets, heat-treated ISPM-15 timber. The customs entry and ISF are filed by us as importer of record.
Conclusion: Accurate dimensions and weights avoid a mismatch between the booked rate and the actual handling, which is the usual cause of oversize surprises.
Data: UPS parcel service caps a package at about 150 pounds (68 kg) in weight, with a maximum length of 108 inches and a length-plus-girth of 165 inches (419 cm). Above those limits, or for palletised cargo, the final mile moves by truck freight with liftgate rather than as a small parcel.
Conclusion: We measure each piece against the parcel cap at booking, so heavy cargo is routed to truck freight before it reaches the door and no delivery is refused for oversize.
Data: Scope runs from the supplier factory gate to the consignee door: pickup and packing check, air uplift from a Chinese gateway, export declaration, US import clearance, duty and tax settlement under our customs bond, airport handling, and UPS final-mile delivery. That replaces the four to six vendors an importer normally coordinates, and every stage is tracked under one reference number.
Conclusion: A single accountable partner owns the whole chain, so the importer receives one closed invoice instead of a stack of hand-off documents.
Data: The quoted transit covers the full cycle, not just the flight.
| Stage | Typical Duration |
|---|---|
| Booking, factory pickup and packing check | 1 working day |
| Export declaration and air uplift from China | 1–2 working days |
| Air transit to the US gateway | 1–3 working days |
| US import clearance and duty settlement | 1–2 working days |
| UPS final-mile delivery | 1–2 business days |
| Total door-to-door | 5–8 business days |
Pricing is charged on the greater of actual or volumetric weight, typically USD 6.5 to 9.5 per kilogram all-in DDP depending on commodity, season and delivery zone. Because duty and import tax sit inside that figure, the rate behaves like a landed cost rather than a freight charge.
Conclusion: For time-sensitive cargo the air premium is predictable and, once landed cost is counted, narrower than it first appears against slower modes.
Data: Packing is tuned to the commodity and the journey: export-grade cartons or pallets, corner and edge protection, shock and moisture control, and clear handling marks. Fragile or high-value items receive extra bracing, and any carton whose dimensions approach the carrier limits is measured and, where needed, reinforced or split. Every carton is weighed and dimensioned at pickup, so the booked rate, the aircraft selection and the final-mile service all match the actual shipment rather than an estimate, and where a receiving site has no dock the packing is planned around liftgate access.
Conclusion: Correct packing at origin protects the cargo, avoids airline acceptance holds, and prevents an oversize or overweight surprise after the quote is approved.
Data: Beyond a correct delivery address and a contact, nothing. The consignee does not file a customs entry, does not appoint a broker, does not post a bond and does not pay duty at the door. We assemble the commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill and entry documents, and we obtain any scenario-specific certificate that is genuinely required.
Conclusion: You provide an address; we provide a confirmed, duty-paid, tracked delivery to it.
Data: Inspections are a normal part of importing and are covered by this service. Examinations are managed by our US team, and we absorb the standard coordination cost so the importer receives no extra examination invoice. A pre-submission review checks classification, valuation, marks and any scenario-specific compliance point before filing, which keeps our examination rate below the general average for the commodities we move.
Conclusion: An inspection never becomes the consignee's problem; from examination to delivery we manage the case and report status until release.

Data: A quote requires the product description, HS context where known, gross weight, carton or pallet dimensions, declared value and the exact delivery address. Documentation is prepared by our team and includes the commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill and entry papers. Payment is accepted by T/T, PayPal, Western Union or Bank Transfer, and the duty and import tax component is settled by us directly with US customs rather than billed to the consignee.
Conclusion: Booking becomes a single exchange of facts, after which the importer input stops until a tracked delivery is confirmed at the destination door.
Yes. The quoted DDP air freight rate includes duty and import tax; the number you approve is the number you pay for the delivery described.
No. We clear as importer of record under our own customs bond, so a foreign seller or a consignee without a US entity can import without extra setup.
Yes. Liftgate and, where needed, tail-lift delivery are available so a residential or low-dock site can still receive a heavy consignment.
