Sailing time is about 7 days, but it depends a lot on what the selected load port is (I'm guessing somewhere like Hamburg makes sense), whether there's a transhipment involved to take it somewhere like Houston, and factor in something to handle loading in Europe, unloading in the US, customs clearance etc. Checking both Maersk and Hamburg Sud's shipping schedules they cite 30 days as estimated shipment times.
