Description
We will provide full support and guidance every step of the way.
The process is quite simple for the buyer. About 10 days before the shipment arrives, you will be contacted by a shipping agency from your port. They will ask you to send the shipment”s invoice and the bill of lading (both of which will be provided to you by us, upon the ship”s departure from our port). The shipping agency from your port will arrange a bill for all the local expenses, like unloading, transportation, import tax, local shipping agency fees, etc.. You will be required to pay the bill before the shipment is delivered. The shipping agency will arrange transportation of the entire container to where ever you specify, and they will notify you on the date and time of arrival. You will then have to take care of unloading yourself, so hire a crew with a forklift to unload the crates from the container. The container will then be returned to the port and you have your product.
You can find out the exact local costs ahead of time – simply call your desired port and ask for a list of shipping agents operating in that port (or find the info online). Call a few, of the agents and have each explain the local cots for a container full of carved stone from China.
