Hello Walter
Thank you for providing all this valuable information!
I am stuck and have a question, any help from your side would be hugely appreciated!
For the products we import from China we use a Chinese based forwarder to combine the cargo and send it to Germany. We are registered at the German customs and DHL has our EORI number so they can do the customs clearance and send us the invoice.
This is necessary as our logistics partner, receiving the cargo, doesn't offer to pay the EUST and customs fee and invoice us.
We plan to sell in the US and have the exact same situation, that the receiver of the cargo doesn't provide the option to pay the duty/tax and invoice us. I am looking for a trustworthy forwarder who can do clearance through customs and payment of duty and invoice us.
After quite some research I have found different forwarders and brokers, but some of them are way to expensive or they are not looking very trustworthy. Using DDP is not option for us.
Do you have any suggestions on what could be a smart solution for picking a forwarder to export from Germany to the US?
