Freight from the USA

E-Commerce and Remote shipping from the USA

The website ships commercial cargo and household goods internationally from the U.S. with LCL sea freight.

The online freight calculator estimates shipping costs in minutes, so you can send boxes, crates, and pallets from the United States worldwide.

Shipping freight from the USA is simple with our online freight calculator. You can manage large cargo deliveries to most countries in real-time from your office, home computer, or smartphone.

Select the destination country in the calculator if you need to ship goods overseas. You can start international shipping right away—just get a quote, book your shipment, and send it!

If you're in the USA and your customer needs international delivery, you can quote and book shipments online anytime. Shipping instructions will arrive within 24 business hours, allowing you to send the order overseas.

For those outside the USA, note that US sellers mostly ship within the country and may include shipping in their prices, leading to potential free shipping for domestic customers. While many US sellers are willing to sell internationally, they often prefer to work with a US freight forwarder to simplify the shipping process.

When a trader in the USA receives clear shipping instructions, they can effectively prepare international orders. They will pack the goods in boxes or crates, label the cargo, and either deliver it to a freight terminal or give it to a driver for shipment abroad.

Using this online freight calculator, your seller in the USA will get shipping instructions by email, ensuring your order is ready for international shipping and the cargo is on its way.

In short, this calculator makes international trade easier, allowing you to manage shipments from anywhere, whether you're at home or in the office.

Note that LCL freight is intended to ship relatively large cargo packed in boxes, crates, or pallets from the USA. It is unsuitable for sending small parcels or sea freight containers from the US. You cannot use it for airfreight or shipping motor vehicles.

How it works

Confirm if the US seller offers free delivery within the United States when negotiating a deal.

If you are uncertain about the exact weight or size of the items you want to ship, giving a rough estimate is fine. Your shipping cost will be adjusted based on the actual weight or size of the goods.

A. If your vendor offers free deliveries within the USA, follow these steps:

Use an online freight calculator to get a shipping quote for your goods. Email the price quote to yourself and keep it.
Book your international sea freight shipment using the quote and pay a deposit when ready. You’ll receive shipping instructions by email within 24 business hours.
Read the instructions. If everything is correct, forward them to the US seller and ask them to deliver your goods to the designated freight terminal.

B. If your vendor does not provide free delivery within the USA, please follow these steps:

Use the online freight calculator to get a price quote. Select 'YES' for the pickup option. Pickup is necessary.
Make sure your quote includes the pickup cost.
After booking your shipment through this quote, you will receive shipping instructions for pickup by email.
Send these instructions to your vendor in the USA. Ask them to prepare your goods for pickup as directed.

An LTL trucking company will pick up your cargo to ship from the USA to its overseas destination.

All steps for your international cargo transportation will be the same as the regular cargo shipping procedures explained in this step-by-step guide.

**IMPORTANT!** If your US vendor uses a trucking company like UPS or FedEx Freight to deliver your items to an ocean freight terminal (CFS) and you chose "NO PICKUP REQUIRED," our Shipping Instructions email will highlight key details for the vendor. Provide the following details for the freight terminal:

Freight Terminal Address and Contact Info: Include the full address and contact details.
Ocean Freight Carrier's Booking Number: If sending cargo to an ocean freight carrier's terminal (CFS), include the booking number. This number identifies your shipment. In our online freight calculator, CFS locations are listed in uppercase, highlighted, and without asterisks (e.g., PHILADELPHIA, PA).
LTL Inland Bill of Lading: If cargo goes to a US domestic line-haul terminal (LH) for transfer to a CFS, you need the LTL Inland Bill of Lading. LH terminals are listed in lowercase with an asterisk (e.g., Austin, TX*).

Include your ocean freight carrier's booking number as the main reference on all delivery orders to the Container Freight Station (CFS). Do not confuse it with AMID Logistics' internal reference number. The CFS will use the carrier's booking number to identify your cargo. This number is shown on our Dock Receipt.

Ocean freight booking is the KEY reference in international shipping

Shipping partial cargo. Merging two or more orders into one shipment.

Shipping partial cargo means sending multiple smaller orders from the US to another country as one shipment.

For example:

Using our online freight calculator, you booked an international shipment and received instructions with the Container Freight Station (CFS) address, phone number, and the ocean freight carrier's booking number.
You then placed several small orders on Amazon or eBay and provided the sellers with the CFS's address and phone number for delivery under that booking number.
You want the CFS to combine these orders into one shipment. This is possible, but there are specific rules and limitations for shipping partial cargo from the US.

Typically, each LCL shipment booked with us (and the shipment's booking and reference numbers) is related to only one single cargo delivery. Each cargo delivery is considered a single international shipment to ship the cargo out of the US as soon as possible. I.e., suppose all export documents are in order, and there are no other particular reasons to hold shipment at the CFS. In that case, each cargo delivery will be matched with the carrier's booking number and automatically released for shipping from the USA without any additional notices.

You must get approval from AMID Logistics in advance to combine two or more cargo deliveries into one shipment under the same carrier's booking and AMID's customer reference numbers.
If approved, you will pay a $35 fee for each additional delivery after the first. Additional charges from the ocean freight carrier, such as CFS storage and handling fees, may also apply.
Some international ocean freight carriers do not allow partial shipments from the USA. If AMID Logistics does not approve your request, each cargo delivery will be treated as a separate shipment. This means you will need to book and pay for each additional delivery individually.

Partial cargo LCL (Less than Container Load) is for larger shipments, not small packages like MyUS.com.

You can make 3-5 deliveries within 10-25 days to the same ocean freight terminal (CFS) under one billing number. Exceeding these limits may result in additional charges for storage and handling.
