Shipping can be a costly and have a huge effect on your goods if you don’t find the right freight forwarder. If you do it yourself, you will be involved in trading terms, certifications, calculating shipping costs, choosing shipping methods… It will be a big headache and also time-consuming. Most of China’s manufacturers have cheap mainland forwarders, but for international shipping documents and paperwork, they are not good at it because this paperwork needs a declaration specialist. Some factories don’t wish to hire one due to the added complexity.
