Shipping from China to Jordan can be done through a variety of methods depending on your shipment’s size, urgency, and budget. Here’s a breakdown of the most common shipping options:

1. Sea Freight (LCL or FCL)

• Best For: Large shipments or bulk goods.
• LCL (Less Than Container Load): If you don’t have enough goods to fill an entire container, LCL allows you to share a container with other shipments.
• FCL (Full Container Load): Best for larger shipments that fill a full container, which is often more cost-effective for bulk items.
• Cost: LCL can cost approximately $100 – $400 per cubic meter, and FCL rates start from $2,000 – $6,000 for a 20ft container.
• Delivery Time: Sea freight takes around 20-40 days.
• Ports in Jordan: The main port in Jordan is Aqaba Port, where most sea freight from China will arrive.

2. Air Freight

• Best For: Smaller shipments or those requiring faster delivery.
• Cost: $4 – $10 per kg, depending on the size and weight.
• Delivery Time: Air freight typically takes 5-7 days to Jordan.

• How It Works: Air freight is quicker but more expensive than sea freight.

3. Express Shipping (DHL, FedEx, UPS, SF Express)

• Best For: Small parcels or urgent shipments.
• Cost: Typically $30 – $100 for small parcels (1-2 kg), and rates will increase with the size and weight of the package.
