Shipping to Denmark: What You Need to Know
Ocean Freight vs. Air Freight
- Ocean Freight: Shipping a container to Copenhagen from a U.S. East Coast port (e.g., New York) takes approximately 20 days. From a West Coast port like Seattle, transit time extends to about 39 days.
- Air Freight: Ideal for small or time-sensitive shipments, air freight offers faster delivery but can be more expensive, especially for larger items.
Our team works closely with you to determine the best shipping method based on your timeline, cargo size, and budget.

Choosing the Right Freight Option
Your shipping method depends on your priorities:
- LCL (Less than Container Load): Cost-effective for smaller shipments or non-valuable items.
- FCL (Full Container Load): Faster transit and exclusive use of a container, ideal for households and valuable goods.
- Air Freight: The fastest option, suitable for shipments under 100 kg or high-value items requiring enhanced security.
For larger shipments, FCL is often the most practical option, offering more control and reliability compared to shared containers.
Car Shipping to Denmark from the US
