Good to know before importing into United States
Check your tariff before you buy
Duties on Chinese goods changed several times in 2025 and 2026. We confirm the current rate for your HS code and can quote Vietnam, Thailand or Malaysia suppliers as an alternative.
Small parcels are no longer duty free
The old de minimis route that let low-value parcels enter without duty is no longer available for most shipments. Plan for formal entry and duty on every order.
ISF filing for ocean freight
Ocean shipments need an Importer Security Filing before the goods load in China. Our freight partner files it, but the supplier data must be right. We collect it for you.

Questions from United States
Do I need a customs bond?
For most commercial ocean shipments, yes. Our freight partner can arrange a single-entry or continuous bond.
Can you help with Amazon FBA shipments?
Yes. We can have products labeled and packed to Amazon requirements and shipped to your prep center or directly to a fulfillment center.
How much does a sourcing report cost?
A flat research fee covers one product, and each additional product is quoted as an add-on. The exact amount is confirmed before we begin.
Is there a minimum order?
No. You can start with a single product in any quantity. The research fee remains the same.
