We did sea freight for our last container and honestly the air vs sea gap isn’t just price, it’s the whole paperwork nightmare. Sea’s way cheaper per case but you stack on fumigation, customs holds, drayage, and you’re waiting a month plus. Air gets it here in days but you pay through the nose and they scrutinize the 1.4G classing way harder. If you’re not in a rush, sea, every time.
