Partner kit: the badge, the links and the data to cite
Everything on this page is free to use by referral partners › and by anyone who wants to point readers at a China to USA shipping reference. Put it on the page where it helps: a prep center's "how to send us inventory" page, a sourcing agent's shipping options, a course module on landed cost.
Your ref code
Every snippet below contains ?ref=YOUR-SLUG. Replace YOUR-SLUG with the code we sent you when we agreed to work together: lowercase letters, digits and hyphens, up to 40 characters, for example ?ref=acme-prep. The code works on any page of plainfreight.com, including the data pages further down. When a visitor arrives through it, their browser keeps the code for 90 days; if they later ask for a quote, the request carries your code. The first partner code a visitor arrives with is the one that counts, and a later link never replaces it. No code yet? Apply here ›
Badge
Two versions of the same 220 by 48 pixel SVG badge: light for white or pale pages, dark for dark headers and footers. The files are served from our domain, so if we ever adjust the wording, your badge updates without you touching your site.
<a href="https://plainfreight.com/?ref=YOUR-SLUG"><img src="https://plainfreight.com/badges/plainfreight-badge-light.svg" width="220" height="48" alt="China to USA shipping by Plain Freight"></a><a href="https://plainfreight.com/?ref=YOUR-SLUG"><img src="https://plainfreight.com/badges/plainfreight-badge-dark.svg" width="220" height="48" alt="China to USA shipping by Plain Freight"></a>Text link
A plain text link reads better than a badge inside an article or a list of recommended services. Change the anchor text to whatever fits your sentence.
<a href="https://plainfreight.com/?ref=YOUR-SLUG">China to USA shipping by Plain Freight</a>The snippets leave out the relattribute on purpose, so you can follow your own site's policy. Worth knowing: Google treats a link you are paid for as a paid link and asks for rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow"on it, and the US FTC expects you to tell readers that a recommendation earns you money. A line such as "We earn a referral fee if you ship with them" next to the link covers the second point.
One-line description
Use this where you describe us, in a partner directory, a resource list or a newsletter. Please keep the numbers as written: the weight range and the all-in price are the two things importers most often get wrong about us.
Plain Freight ships goods door to door from China to the USA, from a 100 g sample to about 2,000 kg, for one all-in DDP price that includes US customs and duties.Plain Freight 提供中国到美国的门到门运输,从100克样品到约2,000公斤,一个全包DDP价格,已含美国清关和关税。Data pages you can cite
These three pages are reference tables, dated and sourced, and free to cite with a link. A link to a table your readers can check tends to stay on a page far longer than a link to a sales page.
China to USA Shipping Price Index ›
Dated all-in prices at twelve weights, from a small parcel up, with CSV and JSON downloads. Useful on any page where a reader asks what shipping from China costs, because it carries a date and does not go stale silently.
Chargeable weight reference ›
The volumetric weight arithmetic with worked carton examples. Prep centers and sourcing agents can link it when a client is surprised that a light but bulky carton is billed on its size.
US import rules timeline ›
Every change to de minimis and entry rules for goods from China, each row with its Federal Register citation. The page to link when a reader asks why their parcel suddenly needs a formal entry.

Recolour or redraw the badge, put it on a page that has nothing to do with importing, or describe us as your own service. And do not quote a client a price on our behalf: send them to the quote form and let the instant offer do it, because the price depends on weight, carton size, goods and destination.
