A 100kg to 1000kg shipment would be considered a moderately large shipment and the most cost effective way to ship from China to USA or Canada would be by sea freight.
Normal Sea Freight Routes will require you to hire a customs broker and handle delivery from port to door by yourself
If you ship by the usual sea freight routes that require you get a customs broker and delivery agent in USA or Canada to handle the delivery to door for you, a 100kg to 1000kg shipment would not be large enough to justify the costs.
Normal Sea Freight Routes come with many hidden costs at the destination port that can add up to costing even more than the shipping itself
For Normal Sea Freight Routes, there are many extra costs once the goods have arrived at the destination port which many shippers will not tell you about beforehand. The fees can sometimes come up to even more than the shipping costs, especially if your shipment is not large enough to justify the costs. You will find that apart from the sea freight costs, there are also extra costs like destination port fees, unloading fees, documentation fees, currency exchange fees, customs brokerage fees and the customs duties charged by customs. Many freight forwarders in China attempt to lure customers in with low sea freight shipping costs on the surface - but then when the shipment arrives at the destination port, the customs finds out that there are huge destination port fees that can add up to cost even more than the shipping itself. Therefore, unless your shipment is very large (preferably at least 10 CBM in volume), it is generally not cost effective to use the usual sea freight shipping routes.
