- At what time the cargo will be transported;
- When you book containers.

Main Shipping Methods
Since South Korea is located on a peninsula and has access to the mainland only through North Korea, the main modes of delivery of international cargo are air and sea freight. Combined methods are also possible, when part of the route is overcome by sea, then by rail or road, and then again by sea or by plane.
Time Spent for Transportation
The fastest shipping method is air freight. You will get the ordered goods shortly since flights are carried out 6 times a week. A full door-to-door delivery cycle will take from 7 to 10 days.
The duration of ocean freight depends on several factors:
- Do you ship to the East or West Coast of the United States? Delivery to West, New York will take on average 5‒15 days longer than to East, Los Angeles.
- Will you use a full container shipping method or a consolidated one? Full Container Loads (FCL) will arrive on average 10‒20 days faster than consolidated cargo and will take 25 to 45 days to the East and 40 to 60 days to the West.
