Importing Goods from Taiwan and China to California - Need Help and Advice on How to Save Money
Hey all,
My company imports goods from China and Taiwan, and we sell them out of our Southern California warehouse. Right now, we're paying about $900 after the ISF bond and everything to bring in a typical LCL, 320LB/82CuFt order, and I want to save money. I think, some firms send their goods to the Port of Ensenada, then have it trucked across the MX/US border, saving a fortune on harbor fees. I was wondering, does this sort of arrangement make sense for LCL shipments? I would love to avoid the outrageous LCL bond fee ($150).Want To Be An eBay Powerseller?This is the Service You Need.

Your LCL loads would have to be shared with importers who are all wanting to go through the same route. Otherwise, your container would hold shipments for Mexican importers and your goods would have to be unloaded at Ensenada, and transshipped.
The cost would far exceed what you are now paying.Over 150,000 Verified Sources + Deals 95% Off MSRP + Free Website!To learn safe overseas sourcing and how to buy small (or large) quantities at best prices see→ http://provenchinasourcing.comLearn to find genuine manufacturers and negotiate small orders at prices way below what wholesalers charge.
