About the Shenzhen (SZX) to New York (JFK) shipping route by air

Flight time is about 17 h 42 min at 800 km/h block speed. On a route this long many freighters make a technical stop for fuel, so the shipment may land somewhere in between. Door to door air freight transit time is usually 1 to 3 days longer than the flight because of acceptance, security screening, customs and handling at both airports.
We have no direct flight data for SZX to JFK this week. Cargo on such pairs usually connects through a hub, which adds a day or more to the transit time.
Air freight rates are charged per kilogram of chargeable weight: the higher of the actual weight and the volume weight (length x width x height in cm divided by 6,000). Light, bulky cargo pays for space, so compact packing on Shenzhen to New York saves money. The shipment crosses from China into the United States, so export and import customs clearance are part of the lead time.
