Ocean FCL can pay off once you pass roughly 5 CBM
LCL ocean rates are billed per cubic metre in this range
Plan for a customs exam — have complete documentation ready
Insure anything over about USD 5,000 in declared value

FCL or LCL ocean for 300 KG into United States?
At 300 KG into United States, LCL through Los Angeles/Long Beach, New York/Newark, Savannah is normally right unless you exceed ~5–6 CBM or ship on a regular cycle. FCL pays off past roughly 15,000–18,000 KG and removes commingling risk during clearance by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
When does demand peak on the China-to-United States lane?
Space into United States gets tight around Aug–Oct (pre-holiday peak), layered on top of the China-side crunch at Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking a week or two ahead in those windows locks in both capacity and price.
What paperwork clears customs in United States?
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will generally want: a commercial invoice carrying HS codes and value; a packing list with weights and dimensions; the bill of lading or air waybill; a certificate of origin where it can cut duty; and any commodity-specific certification (FCC for radio devices; FDA Prior Notice for food/supplements). RateHive can prepare and lodge these as part of managed clearance.
How does RateHive's managed clearance into United States work?
