I’ve done both. Air freight is faster but you pay through the nose. Plus you gotta make sure your freight forwarder knows hazmat regs for air – not all of them do. Sea is the standard for a reason. $4k for a 20ft from Yantian sounds about right. Add another $800-1200 for trucking from port to your door depending on distance.
