Loaded on board → container discharged at the port of discharge, from the carrier's container events: actual dates, not estimates. It has no inland leg, so it is not directly comparable with the estimate, and it rests on fewer shipments because most Bills of Lading are read after the container has been returned empty.
China to Guatemala ocean freight
Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit from China to Guatemala — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 32 days (middle half 29–42 days, 90% within 57 days) across 44 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge.
Cargo on this lane loads mainly at China ports including Shanghai, Qingdao, Xingang and Xiamen and is discharged mainly at Puerto Quetzal and Puerto Santo Tomas De Castilla on the Guatemala side.
Every China-to-Guatemala shipment here travels on an Evergreen (EGLV) Bill of Lading and is read from the carrier's own tracking record: vessel, voyage, port milestones and per-container status, re-checked after the estimated arrival (the ETA, or the last planned arrival when there is none) until a status reports the shipment at its final destination, for up to 30 days — free, and without an account.

Planned routing: 3% of 33 shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge are planned via a transshipment port, most often Lazaro Cardenas (1); the rest are planned direct from the port of loading to the port of discharge. This is the carrier's planned routing when bexy read each Bill of Lading, and it can change after booking.

Frequently asked questions
- How long does it take to ship from China to Guatemala?
- The median estimated transit from China to Guatemala is 32 days, measured from the loaded-on-board date to the carrier's ETA at the final place of delivery, or the last planned arrival when the carrier gives none; half of shipments were estimated at between 26 and 38 days and 90% at 49 days or less, across 66 shipments with a usable on-board date and estimated arrival. The exact time depends on the service, any transshipment and any inland leg to the final destination.
- How long does shipping from China to Guatemala actually take?
- The median actual transit from China to Guatemala is 32 days, measured from the loaded-on-board date to the day a container was discharged at the port of discharge, as reported in the carrier's container events; half of these shipments took between 29 and 42 days and 90% took 57 days or less, across 44 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge. Unlike the estimated transit it ends at the port of discharge, with no inland leg, and it rests on fewer shipments: for most Bills of Lading bexy first reads the record after the container has been returned empty, when the discharge is no longer shown.
- Which ports handle China to Guatemala shipments?
- Cargo most often loads at Shanghai, Qingdao, Xingang and Xiamen. On arrival it is most often discharged at Puerto Quetzal and Puerto Santo Tomas De Castilla.
- Is cargo from China to Guatemala shipped direct or transshipped?
- In the carrier's planned routing at the time bexy read each Bill of Lading, 3% of the 33 China-to-Guatemala shipments with a planned routing to the port of discharge were planned via at least one transshipment port, most often Lazaro Cardenas; the rest were planned direct from the port of loading to the port of discharge. A transshipment port here is a planned stop between those two ports that is not the place of receipt or delivery, and routings can change after booking.
