Below are 4 alternatives for shipping cargo from South Korea to United States by sea and air transport. The least expensive and most environmentally friendly shipping alternative appears to be by sea transport with expected transit time of about 44 days. The fastest route, unsurprisingly, involves air transport and is expected to take about 7 days, including pre-carriage and last mile delivery. Unfortunately, it is simultaneously the most expensive shipping solution with higher emissions.
1. Most economical shipping alternative between South Korea and United States
The cheapest way to ship cargo from South Korea to United States is to deliver by truck from Seoul to Inchon port, transfer to vessel and ship to Port of New York, then deliver by road to final destination in New York City. The route's total transit time is estimated at around 44 days, including loading and unloading operations at origin and destination as well as terminal handling at transit terminals.
