Air Truck DDP FBA Appointment Delivery China USA Door Delivery Duty Paid Customs

Air Truck DDP FBA Appointment Delivery combines air and truck transportation with comprehensive DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service, including FBA delivery appointment booking. This solution is ideal for B2B buyers requiring speed without parcel-only pricing, with a reliable 7 to 12 day door-to-door timeframe. We manage supplier pickup, export declaration, air transport, US import clearance, duty and tax settlement, and final truck delivery—including booking the FC appointment and meeting the delivery slot.

Double clearance covers both export declaration in China and import clearance in the United States. Tax included means we advance and settle all applicable US import duties and taxes as importer of record. The single flat rate bundles three essential actions: export declaration, import clearance, and duty payment.

Result: One landed cost with no customs follow-up required from the consignee.

Our service covers the complete journey from supplier factory gate to consignee door: pickup and packing verification, air transport from Chinese gateway, export declaration, US import clearance, duty and tax settlement under our customs bond, airport handling, and final-mile truck delivery. This replaces the 4-6 vendors typically required, with all stages tracked under a single reference number.

Result: One accountable partner manages the entire supply chain, providing a single invoice instead of multiple hand-off documents.

Standard door-to-door transit: 7-12 days. Truck final mile typically takes 2-4 business days after clearance (3-6 days for remote ZIP codes). Pricing is based on the greater of actual or volumetric weight, typically USD $6.5-$9.5 per kilogram all-in DDP, depending on commodity, season, and delivery zone.

Result: For time-sensitive cargo, the air-plus-truck premium offers predictable costs that are competitive with slower modes when considering total landed cost.

Shipments fly from Chinese gateway to US entry airport, clear customs under DDP, then transfer to truck for final delivery. Parcel-sized cartons use UPS (2-4 business days), while palletized or oversize freight moves via dedicated road freight with liftgate service.

Result: Separating air and truck transport optimizes both speed and cost efficiency for mixed loads.

We handle China export declaration, US import entry and ISF filing, act as importer of record, settle duties and taxes, and prepare all required documentation including commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill, and necessary permits.

Result: The buyer provides only a product list and delivery address—all documentation and clearance responsibilities remain with us.

If US customs selects the shipment for inspection, our service covers standard coordination costs. Our pre-filing review of classification, valuation, and permits maintains an examination rate below industry average.

Result: Inspections may add 1-2 days but never become the consignee's responsibility or expense.

Large fulfillment centers require booked delivery slots, typically through Carrier Central. We secure the appointment to prevent trucks being turned away and ensure on-schedule delivery.

Result: Booked FC appointments prevent refused or delayed drops—managed entirely by our team.

Packing is customized for commodity and journey requirements: export-grade cartons or pallets, corner and edge protection, shock and moisture control, with clear handling marks. Each carton is weighed and measured at pickup to ensure accurate pricing and service matching.

Result: Proper origin packing protects cargo, prevents airline acceptance issues, and avoids oversize/overweight surprises after quote approval.

Beyond providing a correct delivery address and contact information, the receiving company has no additional requirements. The consignee does not file customs entries, appoint brokers, post bonds, or pay duties at delivery.

Result: Provide an address; we provide confirmed, duty-paid, tracked delivery.

One reference number tracks cargo from supplier pickup to signed delivery. Status updates at gateway handover, uplift, US clearance, truck tender, and final delivery. Proof-of-delivery record closes the file with duties already paid.
