Here is the list of tips to follow: Carefully choose a direct or indirect method: 

It is not always an easy task to decide whether you want the goods delivered directly to the Amazon or first to your business then after you have checked and then sent to FBA. 

You can choose the direct option if you think that your Chinese contact will be able to take care of all the formalities and be able to clear the conditions set up by the customs department and also the condition of the good inside the package.

Express, air or ocean freight: 

You have to select which option to select when you are shipping goods from China to the USA as if you have a lot of time and also a low budget then you can take the option of ocean freight which will take more time and is the cheapest option. 

You can select express shipping if you have a huge budget and also don't have a long time to deliver the package. You can choose air shipping method if you have a huge budget and you want your package to be safely delivered to you within a week or two. Use express fright when:

• Your shipment weighs less than 50 kilogram's in weight. Shipment is of high priority and wants to your location ASAP. You don't want to deal with customs duty and clearance.

• Your shipment weighs less than 100 kilograms. Speed of shipping is essential but do not want to take huge expense in the express shipping method. You want full control over the customs duty of import as well as export. You have prepared to deal with the customs department with a freight forwarder or customs broker.

Use ocean freight when:

• Economical transport is more essential than speed transport. Your shipment is weighing more than 100 kilogram's, and also it covers more the two cubic meters of space in the container. You are familiar with the difficulties that occur with choosing this option, and you will have to choose between FCL or LCL option to ship your products from China to the USA.
