2012-07-26
i f you want to import some products from China, one of the main points that you have to take into consideration is how to deal with your product freight. Even if you apply CIF terms, to avoid your lost and make maximum profit, you’d better know how to deal with shipping by yourself.
Decide whether you want to find a forwarder in your country or find a local forwarder in China.
Obviously, finding a forwarder in your country is much easier, but the service charge in developed countries is much higher than in China.
The lower labor cost, lower exchange rate and other factors make Chinese forwarders’ service charge much cheaper.
There are many Chinese freight forwarders, but only some of them are large, reliable and are able to offer high quality service.
Be aware that most international freight forwarders with operations in China will use a local Chinese logistics or freight forwarding company because of their lower costs and local knowledge. This means that you can contract with an international freight forwarding company in whom you may have confidence and they in turn will contract with a local firm that they know to provide the service you require in China
Post a topic on an international business website or send quotation inquiries to listed forwarders.

Carefully evaluate those forwarders
