Ocean freight calculator
FCL cost estimates for China, Vietnam, India, South Korea, and Taiwan to the US, built from Warp’s own captured rates with the capture date shown on every number. For a live quote on your exact lane, run the sailing search below the estimate.
How to use: Pick an origin, a US destination, and a container count. If Warp has a captured rate for that pair, the estimate updates instantly. If it doesn’t, the calculator says so and points you to the live sailing search below.
Get the live number for your lane
The calculator above only prices the lanes Warp has captured. This flow runs Warp’s live sailing search: it prices any origin and destination the network covers, right now, and lets you lock a tier the same day.
What the ocean number includes
The estimate above is base ocean freight, port pickup at the US gateway, transload or cross dock at a Warp facility, and final delivery to a US ZIP on the Warp network, all as one captured price. Duty and customs brokerage stay with your customs broker; Warp coordinates the handoff.
After the container lands
Warp runs the US leg itself: port pickup, cross dock and palletization, then LTL or truckload into Amazon FBA, a retail distribution center, or your own warehouses. Every move is tracked on the scan trail and inside the TMS, so you’re not chasing a forwarder for a status update once the container is on US soil.
How the calculator differs from /ocean
This page shows Warp’s captured Ocean FCL numbers instantly: pick an origin, a destination, and a container count, and the price updates from a dated capture with no API call. /oceanruns the same request through Warp’s live sailing search instead, so it prices any origin and destination the network covers, not just the pairs captured here, and it’s the page that gets you into a bookable tier the same day.

Ocean freight calculator FAQ
How much does it cost to ship a 40ft container from China to the US?
On Warp’s captured Ocean FCL rates, a 40 foot high cube from Shanghai to Los Angeles ran $10,128 to $12,045 (18 to 39 days) on the Sep 20, 2026 capture, and Shanghai to the New York area ran $13,057 to $15,739 (28 to 43 days) on the Sep 20, 2026 capture, each carrying 35,000 lb. Pick the lane above for the exact number, or run the live sailing search below for today’s rate.
What does an ocean freight calculator include?
The estimate above covers the ocean freight itself, port pickup at the US gateway, transload or cross dock at a Warp facility, and final delivery to a US ZIP on the Warp network, all as one number. Duty and customs brokerage stay with your customs broker; Warp coordinates the handoff so the container doesn’t sit at the port waiting on paperwork.
What is the difference between LCL and FCL?
FCL (full container load) books the whole container for one shipper, priced as one number no matter how full it runs. That’s what this calculator estimates. LCL (less than container load) shares a container with other shippers’ cargo and prices by volume instead. Warp’s live sailing search below quotes both; for LCL, run your shipment through the CBM calculator first to get the volume.
How long does ocean freight take from Asia to the US?
On the captures behind this calculator, transit ran 18 to 39 days to West Coast ports (China, Vietnam, South Korea, Taiwan) and 28 to 67 days to New Jersey and the New York area (China and India), port or full door by tier. The speed tier you pick moves the number more than the origin does.
What happens to my container at the US port?
Warp handles port pickup, unloads and palletizes the container at a Warp cross dock, then moves the freight by LTL or truckload into Amazon FBA, a retail distribution center, or your own warehouses, tracked on the scan trail and in the TMS the whole way.
Does Warp handle customs clearance?
No. Warp is not a licensed customs broker or ocean forwarder; ocean rates on this page come from licensed forwarder partners on the Warp platform. Duty and customs brokerage stay with your broker, and Warp coordinates the handoff so the container clears and moves the same day it’s available.
