@Rsimmons016 Thanks for the valuable info you have provided! Im located in Canada and i import roughly 80k of clothing a year from the U.S. as you know duties is high for clothing especially shoes and delivery by UPS is a killer which really cuts into my margins, do you have any tips as to the cheapest way of shipping goods from U.S. (mainly L.A.) to Canada? By sea perhaps?
I also have started importing goods from China to Canada, as of right now i only havea freight forwarder when the shipment arrives to Canadian ports and they handle all the paperwork, i currently ship my CIF terms but i was wondering if it would be more cost effective if i hired a freight forwarder to handle the goods in China? If so do you have any reccomendations of reputable companies?
Thank you for any advice you can give me!
