About Long Beach
Long Beach adjoins Los Angeles and is quoted more or less interchangeably with it for European cargo, since the two share the same approach, the same labour pool and the same inland corridors. The choice between them usually comes down to which terminal a given carrier's service calls at rather than to any difference in transit or cost. Both are subject to the same seasonal congestion patterns.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Long Beach — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 24–30 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider United States lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
