LCL (Less – than – Container Load)

Air Freight

Air freight is an option for high – value or time – sensitive items. Airlines operating from Shenzhen can transport goods to airports near Baltimore, MD. Ground transportation will then need to be arranged to reach the final destination. Air freight is more expensive but can significantly reduce transit times, getting your goods there in a matter of days compared to the weeks it takes for sea freight. This makes it suitable for shipments where speed is crucial.

 

When shipping from Shenzhen to Baltimore, MD, consider the nature of your cargo, your desired delivery time, and your budget. Whether you choose sea freight’s direct or transshipment options, or opt for air freight, making a well – informed decision will ensure your goods reach their destination in a timely and cost – effective manner.
