Amazon FBA & DTC
Prepare cartons before export with the agreed FNSKU, shipping marks, overweight labels, pallet pattern and warehouse-routing information. Amazon acceptance remains subject to the seller account and current appointment requirements.
From South China factory pickups to your US or EU warehouse door. We coordinate export filing, ocean or air transit, compliant import clearance, duty handling and final-mile routing under one transparent, pre-calculated quotation.
| Cost stage | What the scoped quotation includes | Common low-quote trap |
|---|---|---|
| Origin · China | Factory pickup, receiving or consolidation, export filing and stated origin terminal handling | Inland pickup and warehouse handling appear after cargo is committed |
| Freight · Linehaul | Approved FCL, LCL or air service plus disclosed carrier and fuel-related charges | A headline rate excludes peak-season, rollover or security surcharges |
| Customs · Destination | Entry coordination and duties / import taxes handled according to the written classification and valuation assumptions | “Tax included” depends on undervaluation, wrong classification or an undisclosed importer structure |
| Final mile · Delivery | Address type, appointment, pallet, liftgate, FBA / 3PL handoff and included accessorials stated in advance | Residential, remote-area, redelivery, detention or truck-waiting charges surface at destination |
What “zero hidden surcharges” means: charges within the written scope are disclosed before booking. Customs reclassification, physical examination, storage caused by consignee delay, address changes and other exceptional events are separately identified as exclusions or pass-through risks—not silently buried in the base rate.

Plan FCL or LCL delivery to a commercial warehouse with classification, duty, broker and final-mile responsibilities documented. IOR arrangements are confirmed per destination and shipment—not implied universally.
Collect from several factories through a Pearl River Delta hub, reconcile one master packing dataset and determine whether consolidated LCL, FCL or split air/ocean routing produces the defensible landed cost.
Products containing lithium cells, button batteries, magnets, liquids or powders are screened before dispatch. Where applicable, we request the appropriate MSDS, UN38.3 or transport evidence and quote a compatible channel.
We do not support fabricated low-value invoices, false product descriptions or “tax-inclusive” routes that depend on customs fraud. Commercial value, classification and documents must be defensible.
The product, material, origin and destination are reviewed for obvious AD/CVD exposure before rate approval. A freight quotation is not a substitute for destination-country legal advice when classification or trade-remedy risk is disputed.
“Unlike a pure freight broker, we do not blindly release cartons into the export chain. The agreed inspection checkpoint is completed first; you review the evidence and authorize shipment release.”
We agree what success looks like before starting. Findings are separated into facts, risks and recommended actions so your team can move quickly.
Routing, duties, tax treatment and importer-of-record requirements depend on product, destination and shipment structure. Final booking follows a written quotation and compliance review.
HS code and compliance audit: review the product specification, material, use and destination to identify the proposed tariff classification, duty assumptions and potential AD/CVD or controlled-goods exposure.
Origin gate and packaging right-sizing: collect from South China suppliers, reconcile cartons, confirm chargeable dimensions and remove avoidable volume without weakening transit protection.
Ocean or air linehaul: book the buyer-approved FCL, LCL or air route and report carrier, sailing or flight milestone, estimated departure and estimated arrival as available.
Customs release and final-mile delivery: coordinate the declared import entry, duties and taxes under the agreed DDP structure, schedule delivery and return proof of delivery.
Build the quote from a documented product and destination—not a generic rate per kilogram.
Coordinate pickups, consolidation and export preparation across the supplier network.
Match the cargo profile to a documented ocean or air service and compliant import process.
Define the receiving conditions before the cargo is already at destination.
Share your current supplier, order size, deadline and biggest concern. We usually reply within one business day.
