Cargo delivery
from Ukraine to the USA

The cost of delivery is calculated individually depending on the type of goods, method of transportation, place of departure and destination. 

The delivery time depends on the chosen mode of transport: air delivery takes 7-10 days, and sea delivery takes 25-45 days. The exact time may vary due to customs clearance and weather conditions.

The cost depends on the weight, size, mode of transportation (air or sea), places of departure and delivery, as well as the terms. We offer transparent pricing so that customers can find out the approximate cost in advance. You can also save money by using consolidated delivery.

The main documents required are: a packing list with a description of the cargo, customs declarations for export and import, as well as additional permits for specific goods. We help you prepare all the documents to avoid delays at customs.

G8toUS transports various cargoes for businesses and individuals. These include: household goods (rugs, textiles, frames), cosmetics, decor, sports equipment, building materials, vitamins, jewelry, clothing, footwear, and accessories, as well as pet supplies.

Many Ukrainian businessmen sell goods on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, but do not always understand how delivery works. Here are the main difficulties they may encounter:

• Lack of knowledge about export and import operations. Some freight forwarders do not know how to organize the full delivery cycle to the US and the marketplace warehouse, so they reject applications.
• Difficulties with documents and customs clearance. Not all entrepreneurs know which goods are allowed to be imported into the US, what documents are required, and what nuances may arise at customs.
• Uncertainty after customs control. Many do not understand who receives the cargo in the US, when and what duties need to be paid, and what happens after crossing the border.
• Non-transparent pricing. Not all logistics operators explain how the final cost of delivery from Ukraine to the final warehouse is formed.
• Problems with delivery to the end consumer. Even after customs clearance and payment of all fees, the question remains of how the goods will reach the buyer.

We will help you organize turnkey delivery to marketplace warehouses and advise you at every stage.

Air delivery takes 7–10 days, sea delivery takes 40 days or more.

The most common items shipped to the US are household goods, garden supplies, kitchen utensils, clothing, and handmade items. Some products require FDA or CPC certification.

A customs declaration is an official document that lists the details of your shipment, including its contents, value, and origin. It allows customs authorities to assess the legality of the shipment and apply any required taxes or restrictions. Our team prepares this paperwork carefully to avoid errors that could delay your shipment. Submitting an accurate declaration ensures smooth border crossing and faster clearance.

Customs duties are calculated based on the type of goods, their declared value, and the destination country’s tariff rules. We help our clients understand these charges before shipping so there are no surprises later. Proper classification of goods is key to paying the correct amount. Knowing the duty rates in advance also helps you plan your budget for international trade.
