There are different routes for China's sea transportation to the United States, one is the East Coast Line and the other is the West Coast Line. Their routes are different. The West Coast Line usually reaches Long Beach or Los Angeles Port in the United States, while sea transportation to the United States requires crossing the Pacific Ocean, so the time limit will be longer. The time limit for fast ships is about 13-16 days, while for slow ships, it takes 30-40 days to arrive, The cost of sea freight and the prices offered by different shipping companies are different.

To reach the East Coast Line of the United States, you need to pass through the Pacific Ocean, then pass through the Panama Canal, and then reach the East Coast. The time is generally around 25-28 days. You can also go to the West Coast Line first by going to the East Coast Line. If you go to the West Coast Line by land, the time is about 21-23 days, which is a bit more expensive than pure sea transportation.
