2. Shipping Time to the USA
Transit times vary depending on the chosen shipping method.
Air Freight
Express Delivery
Major carriers such as DHL Express, FedEx Express, and UPS Express provide fast and reliable services. Delivery usually takes between 5 and 7 business days, ensuring your shipment arrives quickly and safely.
Economy Delivery
A more cost-effective option, with delivery times ranging from 7 to 15 days.
Ocean Freight
For ocean shipping, transit times generally range from 30 to 45 days. This option is often more economical for large shipments or non-urgent cargo.
State-Specific Factors
For destinations located in remote areas or states farther from major logistics hubs, delivery may require an additional 1–2 business days.

4. Shipping Costs to the USA
a. Air Freight Rates
For detailed consultation regarding your products and the most suitable shipping rates, please contact HB Logistics.
b. How Air Freight Charges Are Calculated
Air freight rates are determined based on the following factors:
Actual Weight
The carrier first determines the actual weight of the shipment.
Dimensional Weight (DIM Weight)
Dimensional weight is calculated using the formula:
Length × Width × Height (cm) ÷ 5000
Chargeable Weight
The higher value between the actual weight and dimensional weight will be used to calculate shipping charges.

For lightweight but bulky items such as cotton products, packaging materials, or cushions, freight costs are typically calculated based on dimensional weight.
c. Ocean Freight Rates
Ocean freight rates fluctuate regularly and depend on factors such as:
- Type of cargo
- Container type
- Port of origin and destination
- Shipping terms (EXW, FOB, etc.)
- Customs and documentation requirements
