Shanghai → Los Angeles.

The live LCL rate, MFN duty, and ocean-transit envelope for the Shanghai to Los Angeles lane. What DAF quotes on this route today.

About this lane.

Shanghai. The secondary origin lane for DAF — used when a workshop is Zhejiang or Jiangsu based. Shanghai handles higher-tier factory production and lifestyle brands with East-China supply chains.

Los Angeles (Long Beach). The busiest Pacific-US port. Fast turnarounds; California client bookings often land here.

How DAF prices this lane.

The rate above is the sea-freight component. DAF layers on customs brokerage (a canonical CAD $250 per entry), duty (0% for wooden furniture in this destination), and the 20% flat DAF fee applied to landed cost. Nothing else. Every line visible in the plan.

When the range moves — as it did 28% between May and July 2026 on Guangzhou → Vancouver — DAF absorbs the volatility inside the 20% ceiling. The client never sees a freight surcharge on a piece they already approved.
