The time it takes for something from China to reach the USA will depend on how the item or items are coming to the USA from China.

If the item is a package that you're expecting from China to the USA then it usually takes around 2 weeks to a little over 2 weeks and sometimes can take a whole month for the package to arrive in your location once it leaves China.

This is due to the long way it has to travel as well as customs that the package has to pass and process through.

If you're asking about a cargo ship with things coming from China to the USA it can take from one month and even 2 months for the cargo ship to reach the USA.

So that something you bought in the store or online that was made in China came a long way on a cargo ship and took from one to two months to arrive in the USA.
