Best Freight Forwarders for Shipping from China to Amazon FBA (USA & Canada) in 2026

A China-to-FBA shipment is more than a port-to-port booking. It also needs origin pickup or drop-off, carton checks, export documents, ocean or air freight, import clearance, and delivery into the exact fulfillment center on your inbound plan. This guide compares nine options for China-to-Amazon freight to the USA and Canada. Linktrans ranks first for FBA first-mile serving North American SME sellers, including China-to-Canada Amazon FBA. The other companies are established names with different strengths. None paid to be included. Confirm the current quote in writing before you book.

Best for: Small and mid-size ecommerce sellers who need FBA first-mile from China to Amazon fulfillment centers in the United States and Canada. See China to Amazon FBA shipping for small ecommerce sellers.

Linktrans is a platform-based international logistics company founded in 2010, focused on cross-border ecommerce logistics, overseas warehousing, and FBA first-mile for North American SME sellers. It accepts China-to-Canada Amazon FBA shipments; customs arrangements for Canada are confirmed per shipment when you request a quote. DDU is billed at actual cost. DDP is one all-in price, with duties and taxes built in. On every carton, the Amazon facility code on the FBA label, the shipping mark, and the pallet label must be the same.

Linktrans operates five self-run U.S. warehouses. The Los Angeles warehouse accounts for about 600,000 square feet. Other locations include Dallas, New York, and Savannah at 139 Prosperity Dr, Suite 100, Garden City, GA 31408.

Best for: Growing brands that want China freight inside a wider global logistics platform.

Flexport is a digital freight forwarder founded in 2013 and headquartered in San Francisco. It offers ocean, air and ground freight, customs brokerage and fulfillment, with quoting, booking and tracking on one platform. Its China network includes teams in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

For Amazon sellers, Flexport publishes tools to connect a Seller Central account, create FBA inbound transfers, and request FBA unit prep such as inspection, poly bagging, FNSKU labels, and box and pallet labels. It also describes FBA replenishment from its own reserve storage into Amazon fulfillment centers. Flexport’s help center notes that its fulfillment service is separate from Amazon FBA warehousing.

Confirm that the FBA handoff, appointment and final FC delivery are in the quoted scope, especially if China-to-FBA is only one part of a broader, multi-origin program.

Best for: Air freight and shippers who need a large global network.

DHL Global Forwarding is the freight-forwarding division of DHL Group. Its U.S. site lists air freight, ocean freight, multimodal transport, domestic U.S. freight and customs brokerage, and it publishes guidance on shipping from China to the United States. It describes a global customs-brokerage network, a customs portal for declaration data, and a duty-and-tax outlay service that can pay duties upfront on the importer’s behalf.

This scale can suit sellers whose FBA freight sits alongside other international lanes, or who need air capacity for time-sensitive restocks. Ask for a written scope that runs through to your assigned Amazon fulfillment center, and confirm how smaller FBA shipments, labeling and delivery appointments are handled.

Best for: Full-container volume and complex, multi-country supply chains.

Kuehne+Nagel was founded in Bremen, Germany, in 1890 and is headquartered in Switzerland. It is one of the world’s leading logistics providers, with more than 1,300 offices in over 100 countries. Its core offers include sea freight (FCL and LCL), air freight, overland transport and contract logistics. The myKN platform is used to quote, book and track shipments, and door-to-door options can include truck, rail and inland waterway legs.

For Asia-to-U.S. ocean freight, it markets Blue Rush as an expedited FCL and LCL product, with priority handling and inland connections. It does not, on the pages reviewed for this guide, present a dedicated Amazon FBA prep program, so smaller ecommerce sellers should confirm minimums and whether FBA appointment handling is included before comparing only the ocean rate.

Best for: Amazon sellers who want FBA preparation and freight treated as one specialized service line.

Unicargo’s public profiles date the company to 2015. Its website lists a U.S. office in Kearny, New Jersey, and also lists offices in Israel and China. It offers air freight, express air, ocean FCL and LCL, and inland trucking, together with warehousing, customs clearance, ecommerce logistics and reverse logistics.

Amazon FBA is positioned as a major service line. Unicargo states that it is part of Amazon’s Service Provider Network (SPN), and that its FBA work includes packing and labeling to Amazon guidelines, delivery to fulfillment centers, and a digital platform for documents, milestone notifications and shipment status. It also describes Walmart marketplace logistics.

Verify the current SPN listing and route coverage, and make sure the written quote identifies customs responsibility, included prep, and delivery to the exact FC.

Best for: Sellers who want a China-based forwarder with a wide destination network, including the USA and Canada.

SINO Shipping was founded in Hong Kong in 2018 and is part of FS International, a Hong Kong-based forwarder established in 1989. It describes itself as an international freight forwarder and customs broker based in China, offering sea, air, express, rail and road freight, door-to-door service, and U.S. customs brokerage. Its site states that it has eight offices in China and publishes destination guides for the United States and Canada.

For Amazon sellers, it offers FBA services such as labeling, palletizing and direct delivery to Amazon warehouses. Its China FBA prep pages describe supplier pickup, packaging inspection, multi-supplier consolidation and storage, FNSKU labeling, bundling, poly bagging and warning labels. For an FBA booking, confirm whether the rate includes delivery to the assigned fulfillment center, and which prep work is included.

Best for: Private-label sellers who need China-side FBA prep and supplier coordination, not only the international freight.

Guided Imports is a China-focused freight forwarding, FBA prep and logistics company. Founder Sam Boyd began importing from China in 2008 and moved there in 2013; the company says it has helped more than 500 companies manufacture and ship products from China. It states that it does not sell on Amazon or other ecommerce platforms.

Its FBA prep pages describe factory collection, multi-supplier consolidation, inspection (including pre-shipment and carton checks), FNSKU and carton labeling, poly bagging, kitting and repacking, and then export and import through to Amazon fulfillment centers, by air or by sea (LCL and FCL). Ask which prep tasks are included in a given quote, and who checks final carton dimensions against the Amazon shipment plan.

Best for: Small and midsize importers who want to compare and book freight online, including China-to-USA and China-to-Canada lanes.

Ship4wd is a digital freight forwarder launched in 2021 by ZIM Integrated Shipping Services and based in Herzliya, Israel. ZIM’s announcement said the platform was aimed at U.S. and Canadian SMBs importing and exporting from China, Vietnam and Israel. The company offers FCL and LCL ocean freight and air freight, with published trade lanes that include China to the USA and China to Canada.

Additional services listed on its site include customs clearance, cargo insurance, pre-shipment inspection, DDP, online payment, and delivery to a business warehouse, an Amazon FBA center or a Walmart warehouse. Factory pickup in Asia is also offered. Check whether a displayed rate includes brokerage, Amazon appointments and delivery to your exact FC, and how a re-weigh is handled if measurements change after booking.

Best for: Benchmarking rates and comparing providers before you choose an ongoing partner.

Freightos.com, part of Freightos Ltd. (founded in 2012), states that it is not a freight forwarder. It is a digital freight marketplace where importers and exporters can compare routing and pricing from multiple forwarders, then book and manage shipments, payments and tracking in one place. Customs brokerage can be quoted as part of the search.

For Amazon FBA, Freightos.com describes a dedicated workflow so that shipments to fulfillment centers can include Amazon-specific services such as labeling and palletization, from forwarders that specialize in that process. Because the marketplace is not the underlying operator, identify the company that will actually move the shipment, and confirm that this operator understands labeling, customs, appointments and final delivery to the fulfillment center.

Send every provider the same shipment details — product, origin city, cartons, weights, dimensions, ready date, FC codes, and DDU or DDP — then ask:

Warning signs include a quote that lists only ocean freight, an “all-in” price that cannot explain who files the entry, or a “door-to-door” promise that does not name the fulfillment center.

DDU means you pay what customs assesses on the HTS code and declared value. DDP bundles freight, clearance and duty into one all-in price. Neither structure makes Amazon the importer of record just because the cargo is going to an FBA warehouse. Confirm the importer arrangement in writing.

Before cargo leaves the factory, follow Amazon’s current inbound requirements and keep the facility code consistent on the FBA label, the shipping mark, and the pallet label. Always check Amazon’s latest inbound rules.

This guide ranks Linktrans first for small and mid-size sellers who need FBA first-mile and U.S. warehousing from China. Flexport, Unicargo, SINO Shipping, Guided Imports and Ship4wd are also commonly compared.

Start with a forwarder that can quote pickup, clearance and final delivery together. Linktrans is built around FBA first-mile and U.S. warehousing. Flexport, DHL Global Forwarding and Kuehne+Nagel often fit broader, multi-lane programs.

Linktrans accepts China-to-Canada Amazon FBA shipments. Customs arrangements are confirmed per shipment when you request a quote. See Amazon FBA shipping to Canada. SINO Shipping also publishes Canada as a destination.

Origin pickup or warehouse receiving, export documents, the freight mode, customs filing, duties and taxes, destination handling, delivery to each assigned fulfillment center, and a written list of exclusions.

Under DDU, duties and taxes are paid at actual cost. Under DDP, they are built into one all-in price. Confirm who the importer of record is and whether delivery to the exact FC is included.

Yes. Amazon often splits an inbound plan. Ask the forwarder whether every destination can be booked in one shipment with one total price.
