<2>.Letter of Credit

This is one of the most secured payment mode. This is commonly used for transactions with big amount. LC though involve a lot of paper work with the bank. The bank also charges exorbitant fees to get an LC.

<3>.Sourcing Agents / Suppliers

This is not actually a payment mode but if you are working with a sourcing agent or company, you can course your payment through them. Small buyers often take advantage of this payment as this is safer than an online escrow service.

Paypal is commonly used for small orders.It is similar to credit card payment except that you do not expose your credit card details. You instead attach your credit card to your PayPal account and pay your supplier through an email account. PayPal deducts a fee when funds in an account is transferred to a bank account.

5.Shipment

Choosing Between a Groupage or a Full Container Load

For the import business, it will be more economic shipping by sea. Cargo shipped through sea are contained in 20GP, 40GP, 40HQ containers.

If your cargo is of a lesser volume, the most ideal option is through a groupage or less than container load(LCL). This means that your cargo will share container space will other consignee.

If you want your cargo to be load for your own cargoes , you can choose full container load (FCL) even if it is of a small volume.And you could also load with your other cargoes you purchase from different suppliers.But since your suppliers might be separated in different regions, you also need to handle with the domestic shipping cost to gather them in one supplier's warehouse for loading.

Shipment Management

When importing faucets from China (or any goods for that matter), you can let your BATHTUB FAUCET SUPPLIERS handle the shipping. This is common for most first time importers because it is the simplest process. The thing is, you will probably end up paying more. You have other shipping options that can help you save time and money.

<1>.Handle shipping yourself

This entails booking cargo space directly with the shipping company and managing Customs Declarations in China and in your country.

If you choose to use this shipping option, you will need to monitor the carrier of the cargo yourself and deal directly with them. This is a time consuming process.

This option is not ideal for small and medium importers. Big companies though can very well choose this option because they have more manpower.

<2>.Have a freight forwarder in your country handle your shipment

This is a convenient option because you will be dealing with local agents in your country. This is the option most often used by small and medium scale importers.

The downside of this shipping option is most forwarders in your country may not have an office in China. They will be working with agents in China and will add a mark-up to what the local agents will charge.This option can be inefficient and expensive.

<3>.Have a freight forwarder in China handle your shipment.

This is the fastest way you will receive your shipment thus most importers use this shipment option.The freight forwarder is in close contact with your supplier and informs them of the status of your shipment. This option also gives the best rates.
