USA transports and logistics – briefly explained
MARTIN Spedition offers structured transport solutions to the USA by sea freight (FCL 20ft/40ft, LCL, Reefer) via all major sea ports – e.g. New York, Houston or Los Angeles – and by air freight (standard, express, temperature-controlled, consolidated).
Sea-freight transit time from Hamburg to New York is approximately 10–14 days, to Houston approximately 14–18 days and to Los Angeles approximately 20–25 days (via the Suez Canal). By air freight from Frankfurt (FRA) to the USA the transit time is approximately 2–3 working days.
Exports to the USA are subject to control by CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection). For shipments above USD 2,500 a formal import declaration (‘Formal Entry’) is required. For dual-use goods, additional US export control regulations (EAR/ITAR) apply. MARTIN Spedition takes on complete customs clearance including export paperwork, customs tariff review (HTS code) and alignment with US authorities.
For all sea-freight shipments to the USA, an ISF 10+2 declaration must be submitted to CBP at least 24 hours before loading. MARTIN Spedition issues and submits this declaration as part of the full customs service.
Yes. MARTIN Spedition takes into account the current US import tariffs – including any Section 232 and Section 301 additional tariffs. We recommend a customs tariff review before ordering, in order to calculate the correct customs burden and use possible free-trade agreements (e.g. with proofs of origin).
Typical export documents are: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill (AWB), certificate of origin (for preferential customs), EEI (Electronic Export Information) and, if applicable, export permits for controlled goods.
Yes. MARTIN Spedition imports commercial shipments from the USA by air or sea freight – with full EU customs clearance, import VAT handling, tracking and on-time delivery.
Before every shipment, MARTIN Spedition checks the applicable HTS code and determines the current customs burden, including any Section 301 and Section 232 additional duties. On request, options for customs optimisation – such as correct origin declaration or use of exemptions – are reviewed and discussed with you.
