Default Importing from china

Hello

I am considering importing some goods from china can someone please advise me the best method of doing this.

I cant use EMS or Dhl the usual as I am importing large volumes and that is too expensive.

My supplier tells me that via vessel is the best way . dose anyone know of another good way that is cheap ?

Ps the items I am importing are all legit and non-vero

Many Thanks

Then get a large overseas freighter and customs agent to help clear it - why not?

I import packages weighing 50+ pounds on a weekly basis with no issues, and also do not pay additional shipping. You sounds like you are very inexperienced, so you are most likely going to want to do a little research. And FYI, if you are buying phakes you might as well suspend your own account.

No phakes , I have experiences online, I have never had to import via vessel before.

You need a customs broker, you need a container and you need to make sure it's cost effective. Don't forget all the prices for DHL etc cover clearance fees etc all this would need to be paid if using freighters.

Airport to airport also is cheaper and quicker but you also need to find a broker to help you clear the custom .
