FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from China to Mexico take?
From China to Mexico, air freight is typically 4–9 days airport-to-airport. From China to Manzanillo or Lázaro Cárdenas, ocean freight is about 30–45 days port-to-port. Neither interval is door-to-door; total transit depends on pickup, clearance and the delivery address.
What is DDP (delivered duty paid) shipping?
DDP combines export, freight, import duties and taxes, partner-broker clearance and final delivery. For customers without their own local import qualifications, we can arrange a compliant structure; scope, feasibility and importer of record are confirmed per shipment on WhatsApp. Best Shipping is not the customs broker or importer of record.
Which Chinese ports and airports do you ship from?
We book from every major Chinese gateway — Shanghai, Shenzhen, Ningbo, Qingdao, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Xiamen and more — even though our head office is in Wuhan.
Do you handle customs clearance in Mexico and Colombia?
We arrange Mexican pedimento and Padrón de Importadores work, Colombian DIAN declarations, NOM compliance and HS classification through licensed partner customs brokers acting for the importer of record. Best Shipping is not the customs broker or importer of record.
Can you ship to the US, Canada and the rest of South America?
Yes — besides Mexico and Colombia we run regularly to Chile, Peru, Brazil and across South America, plus the United States and Canada.
