Before you commit

  • Verify the supplier — trade assurance, business license, and samples first.
  • Confirm the HS code and indicative duty before you price the deal.
  • Get the freight quote in writing, including what is and isn't covered.
  • Use a trackable payment method and release balance only after QC.
  • Keep every commercial invoice and packing list — customs will ask.
  • Compare at least two agents or forwarders on references, not just price.

Listings here are starting points, not endorsements. Compare a few providers on references and service scope before you commit.
