Transportation Options & Transit Times

1. Sea Freight (FCL/LCL)

• Primary Routes:
  • Cargo departs Chinese ports for Los Angeles/Long Beach (West Coast) or Oakland (Bay Area).
  • Transit to U.S. Ports:
    • Shenzhen/Shanghai: 18–26 days
    • Qingdao/Ningbo/Xiamen: 20–28 days
  • Inland to Clearfield:
    • Rail: Direct intermodal service from West Coast ports to Salt Lake City rail yards (5–7 days), then truck to Clearfield (30–60 minutes via I-15 or UT-193).
    • Trucking: 24–48 hours from Los Angeles/Oakland via I-5 and I-15, ideal for time-sensitive LCL shipments.
• Container Types:
  • FCL: Ideal for aerospace components, industrial machinery, or retail inventory (20ft/40ft containers, including flat-rack for oversized equipment).
  • LCL: Cost-effective for smaller loads (e.g., electronics components, automotive parts, e-commerce parcels).

2. Air Freight

• Expedited Routes:
  • Flights from Chinese airports (Shanghai Pudong, Shenzhen) to Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC).
  • Transit Times: 3–7 days, including customs clearance.
  • Last-Mile Delivery: ~1 hour via truck from SLC to Clearfield’s industrial parks or military facilities.
• Ideal For: Urgent aerospace parts, ITAR-controlled components, medical devices, or high-value tech equipment.

3. Door-to-Door Solutions

• Full-Service Offerings:
  • End-to-end coverage: Pickup in China → ocean/air transport → customs clearance → final delivery to Clearfield’s factories, warehouses, or military bases.
• Specialized Services:

  • Climate-Controlled Transport: For temperature-sensitive electronics, pharmaceuticals, or aerospace materials (-20°C to 25°C).
  • Oversized Cargo: Flatbed trucks and cranes for military-grade equipment, turbines, or industrial robots.

Customs Clearance & Compliance

• Key Documentation:
  • Commercial invoices, packing lists, ISF (for sea freight), and HTS tariff codes (e.g., “8803.30” for aircraft parts, “8517.62” for semiconductors).
• U.S. Regulations:
  • Federal: Strict ITAR compliance for aerospace/defense goods; duty exemptions under USMCA for North American-sourced components.
  • Utah State: 6.85% sales tax on commercial imports; EPA compliance for industrial equipment emissions.
• Industry-Specific Support:

  • Manufacturing: Streamlined clearance for machinery under OSHA and DOT regulations (e.g., hazardous materials handling).

Cargo Types & Shipping Tips

Key Industries in Clearfield:

• Aerospace/Defense: Hill Air Force Base, aerospace manufacturing, and defense contracting.
• Manufacturing: Electronics, automotive parts, and industrial machinery.
• Logistics: Regional distribution centers for retail and tech companies.

Tips for Shippers:

1. Military Base Coordination:
   • For Hill AFB shipments, provide detailed security pre-clearance documentation (e.g., DD Form 250, SF 361) and schedule deliveries during approved hours.
2. Cargo Preparation:
   • Use anti-static packaging for electronics and shock-absorbing materials for aerospace components. Label with Clearfield’s zip code (84015) and a security-approved local contact.
3. Transit Time Optimization:
   • Sea + Rail: Most cost-effective for large non-urgent orders (e.g., 100+ pallets of automotive parts) with 25–35 days total transit.
   • Air + Truck: Prioritize for ITAR-controlled goods or emergency repairs (5–10 days total transit).
4. Insurance:
   • High-value defense equipment ($500k+ per piece) or ITAR-controlled cargo should carry all-risk coverage (8–12% of value), including protection against customs delays or transportation damage.
