I had to pay a duty tax and DHL to deliver it to my storage facility, so yes sometimes sneaky things can pop up
Long time ago, but was really shocking to see a bill for around $100 attached to my packages (had around 6-7 boxes?) 300 units of dog toys and stuff.
Different suppliers will charge various amounts for shipping, your best will be to vet multiple suppliers to make sure you get the best price.
Also when dealing with Alibaba keep in mind you are not talking to the manufacturer them self, it's generally middlemen taking a % of the sale for connecting you.
If this is your first rodeo go with a smaller order like 10 units to see if you can even sell them. You can always sell pre-orders or do the ''sold out'' trick on your on website. Might save you alot of money..
