Question by llevesque09: How much does it cost to ship goods to the US from China?
Working on a class project. I can not find an accurate estimate for transportation costs for electronic equipment (coaxial cable) from China to the US the BLS does not keep stats on China. Does anyone know of a source for this type of information?

Don’t use DHL or similar courier, it is more expensive. I propose that you use general air way transportation, this can save you half of the cost.

Air
5-40lbs$ 8.50/lb
40-100lbs$ 6.50/lb.
100-150lbs$ 5.00/lb.
150-1000lbs$ 4.50/lb.
>1000lbs$ 2.50/lb.

Ocean
20’ container$ 3800
40’ container$ 5000
*LCL
1 Pallet$ 750
>1 Pallet$ 550/pallet
