East Coast Dedicated Line
We offer professional, reliable, and cost-effective dedicated full-container-load and less-than-container-load ocean freight services to the U.S. East Coast. Backed by the stable liner services of the ZIM/OA Alliance, this service is specifically designed for shipments that require direct delivery to FBA warehouses and commercial addresses on the U.S. East Coast, providing a one-stop solution from the Chinese port of loading to the U.S. East Coast destination port.
1. Dedicated direct service with stable routes
We offer a dedicated, scheduled service originating in South China, operated by ZIM/OA Alliance carriers and calling directly at the Port of New York (NY). This dedicated service boasts the core advantages of stable sailings and guaranteed space, effectively reducing transshipment links and mitigating the risk of congestion at West Coast U.S. ports, thereby providing a more reliable and predictable maritime shipping solution for cargo bound for the U.S. East Coast.
2. Precise coverage of the core warehouse network in the Eastern U.S.
This dedicated line provides deep coverage of major FBA warehouses and commercial districts along the U.S. East Coast, with an extensive service network that meets a wide range of inbound and delivery needs:
- Core area: Precise service for mainstream FBA warehouse codes in the Eastern U.S., including TEB6/TEB9, ABE8, ACY2, AVP1, PHL6, CLT2, BOS7, and others.
- Wide distribution: Our service coverage extends to key logistics hubs in New York and the surrounding states, providing robust support for our clients’ business expansion on the U.S. East Coast.
3. Flexible tax calculation with controllable costs
We offer both tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive models to meet the nuanced cost and compliance management needs of different clients:
- Tax-inclusive channel: We employ a simplified “unit price per kg” billing model (1 CBM = 167 kg), with prices inclusive of customs clearance and duties (excluding actual out-of-pocket expenses such as inspection fees). The process is straightforward, and costs are clearly defined.
- Tax-exempt channels: Billing is based on “unit price per CBM,” with additional customs clearance fees. Customs duties, inspection fees, and other charges are billed on an actual-cost basis, making this option suitable for customers who are required to file tax declarations independently or for shipments with higher declared values.
Both modes qualify for heavy-goods discount incentives (e.g., 1:200 off by 0.5, 1:300 off by 1, and 1:500 off by 2), significantly reducing heavy-goods logistics costs.
4. Professional Operation and Timely Assurance
We provide standardized, professional operational procedures and set clear time-frame expectations:
- Reference validity period: We provide a reference inbound lead time of 45–55 days after shipment departure (subject to the specific warehouse region), helping you accurately plan your inventory replenishment cycle.
- Professional Services: We provide end-to-end services, including domestic customs clearance, booking, seamless customs clearance at the destination port, and last-mile delivery, to ensure smooth cargo handling from shipment initiation to warehouse receipt.
- Risk Warning: The quotation takes into account common risks such as U.S. port congestion and is based on the actual vessel departure, ensuring transparent management expectations.
