Key Services Offered:

1. Sea Freight (FCL/LCL)

     • Transit times from Chinese ports to U.S. Gulf Coast ports (e.g., Houston, New Orleans) or West Coast ports (e.g., Los Angeles) range from 25–40 days, plus inland trucking/rail to San Antonio via Dallas or Houston (2–3 days).
     • FCL (Full Container Load): Ideal for machinery, automotive parts, or oilfield equipment, with dedicated containers for secure transit.
     • LCL (Less than Container Load): Cost-effective for smaller shipments (e.g., e-commerce goods, military supplies) with consolidation at major ports.
2. Air Freight
   • Expedited Delivery:
     • Transit times: 3–7 days from Chinese airports (e.g., Shanghai Pudong) to San Antonio International Airport (SAT) or Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), with customs clearance included.

     • Cross-Border Trade: Guidance for shipments via the U.S.-Mexico border (e.g., Laredo)

Why Choose These Services?

• Industrial and Military Expertise:
  • San Antonio’s role as a military and aerospace hub (e.g., Lackland Air Force Base) requires secure handling of sensitive cargo, which these providers specialize in.
• Cargo Flexibility:
  • Handle diverse goods, including oversized machinery, temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals, and hazardous materials (with proper certification).
• Transparent Tracking:
  • Real-time tracking ensures visibility through Texas’s inland routes and potential cross-border segments.

Tips for Shippers:

• Accurate Cargo Details:
  • Include weight, dimensions, and commodity type in the form (e.g., “10 pallets of aerospace components” or “800 kg of medical equipment”). Specify if cargo requires special handling (e.g., forklift access, climate control).
• Transit Time Planning:
  • Sea freight is budget-friendly for non-urgent shipments; air freight suits time-sensitive needs. Account for potential delays during peak hurricane season (June–November) for Gulf Coast ports.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value or sensitive items (e.g., defense equipment, medical supplies) should be insured (recommended 2–5% of shipment value) to protect against loss or damage.
