Importing from China — Forwarder

0
0

If you are going to import from china, there would be cost at your port, usually they are shipping cost,VAT,duty, port cost, handling fee, unloading fee, etc.

This is because you use a China local forwarder to ship the goods to you, I am sure the forwarder is arranged by your supplier, if by CIF terms, it is just costing them 1-10$ per cbm, some even give free freight to the supplier, and forwarder just put those fee into the debit of buyers(destination port).

The best solution is you search a forwarder locally, in this way the local charge will be much cheaper, certainly, before you working with them, ask them to send you a quote for LCL and FCL, then you just need to  give contact to supplier for booking shipping space for shipment, or ask forwarder to contact supplier, you can even ask the forwarder to pick up goods from the supplier and ship to you.

For me, sometime my clients do not have a forwarder for shipping, I will use my cooperated forwarder, but besides asking price of freight, I also ask them to quote the destination port cost, this will avoid them charge too much to my clients.
