To ship something on a cargo ship from China to the USA takes between 25 to 40 days for the ship to reach the USA destination once it's left China.

This time depends on the ship and the speed that the ship is going through the Ocean Water as well as the current in the water.

Companies from China estimate the delivery times of cargo containers that contain items or goods purchased from China to take from 25 to 40 days to reach the USA.

China is over 7,000 miles away from the USA so it can take some time for the goods to reach the USA from a cargo ship.

By plane it can reach the USA sooner as in 3 to 7 days but a cargo ship is much slower.
