Middle half 26–47 days · 90% within 54 days · 8,532 shipments measured · volume-weighted across the lanes with at least 20 measured shipments, which carry 98% of the shipments · estimated 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

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.
Schedule slip vs plan
+1day median · after the planned arrival
Middle half 0 to +2 days · n = 294 shipments with both a planned arrival and a recorded discharge on these lanes, across 52 sailings
Per shipment, the day a container was discharged at the port of discharge minus the carrier's first planned arrival there — whole days, exact to within a day either way; negative means ahead of plan. Each shipment is measured against its own plan, so it is a plain count, not weighted by volume. A sailing is one vessel voyage: every container on a late vessel is late together, so the slip is shown only when its shipments came on at least 5 sailings.
United States ocean freight imports
Median estimated transit is 35 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 47 days and 90% at 54 days or less, across 8,532 shipments with a usable on-board date and estimated arrival. It weights each lane by its shipment volume, over the lanes with at least 20 measured shipments, which carry 98% of the shipments. Average transit by origin ranges from about 17 to 37 days.
Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit to United States — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 31 days (middle half 25–43 days, 90% within 52 days) across 4,681 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge. It weights each lane by its shipment volume, over the lanes with at least 20 recorded discharges, which carry 98% of the shipments.
Import cargo into United States is mainly discharged at Los Angeles, New York, Savannah and Long Beach.
Every shipment on these lanes 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.

Frequently asked questions
- How long does shipping to United States take?
- The median estimated transit to United States is 35 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 47 days and 90% at 54 days or less, across 8,532 shipments with a usable on-board date and estimated arrival. It weights each lane by its shipment volume, over the lanes with at least 20 measured shipments, which carry 98% of the shipments. Lane averages run from roughly 17 days on the fastest lane to 37 days on the slowest.
- How long does shipping to United States actually take?
- The median actual transit to United States is 31 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 25 and 43 days and 90% took 52 days or less, across 4,681 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. It weights each lane by its shipment volume, over the lanes with at least 20 recorded discharges, which carry 98% of the shipments.
