Can I Ship a CNC Machine from China to the USA with DDP?

- Yes — CNC routers, laser cutters, press brakes, and plasma tables can ship DDP to the USA
- Typical sea DDP: 25–35 days door to door; pricing depends on weight, dimensions, and US zip
- Send L × W × H, gross weight, photos — we advise FCL vs flat rack vs crated LCL
Yes — you can ship CNC and metal-fabrication machinery from China to the USA with DDP door-to-door. GSC handles export packing, ocean freight (FCL, flat rack, or LCL), US customs, duties, and final delivery to your workshop or warehouse. We work with US importers buying from Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong machine builders.
Equipment We Ship
- CNC routers and machining centers (3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis)
- Fiber / CO₂ laser cutting machines
- Press brakes, shears, and bending equipment
- Plasma cutting tables and sheet-metal lines
- Small stamping units and workshop fabrication tools
Pickup Anywhere in China
GSC is headquartered in Guangzhou but picks up cargo anywhere in China. Major CNC clusters include Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong. We arrange domestic trucking to our Guangzhou warehouse for inspection and crating, or direct port exit via Shenzhen, Shanghai, Ningbo, or Qingdao when that reduces cost or transit time.
Container & OOG Options
- 40HQ FCL — when the machine fits standard internal dimensions after partial disassembly
- Flat rack / open top — for width or height over standard container limits
- Crated LCL — smaller units or spare modules consolidated with other cargo
See oversized cargo guide, FCL vs LCL, and CBM calculation.
Packaging & Pre-Shipment
- ISPM-15 wooden crates with moisture barrier and internal bracing
- Factory disassembly coordination (control cabinet, table, gantry) when needed
- Pre-shipment inspection — verify model, serial, and damage before ocean transit
- Rust inhibitor and desiccant for long sea voyages
What We Do Not Handle
GSC does not arrange freight for whole buses or coaches, whole ships or vessels, or super-heavy mining equipment. We focus on industrial workshop and factory machinery that fits standard OOG container solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a CNC machine from China to the USA?
Cost depends on machine size, weight, crating, container type, and US destination — not a flat per-kg rate like small parcels. Send dimensions and zip for an all-in DDP quote.
Can you deliver to my shop if there is no loading dock?
Often yes with liftgate or tail-lift truck, but confirm access, door width, and whether a forklift is available on delivery day.
Do you handle US customs and duties under DDP?
Yes — DDP includes customs entry and import duties/taxes in one quoted price (subject to correct HS classification).
