Is a couple of expenses when your dealing with import. Here we go:
1. The expense of the product
2. Shipping Expense of a 20′ Container is around $1700/ 40′ Container is $3400 from China to Long Beach to give you an idea.
3. Import tax which you can reference on the US Business of Commerce Site
4. Trade Agent which will handled on the import paperwork and shipping in most cases. You need them to guide you through the process.
Be careful of electronic chinese products. You will get burned if you dont have someone in China looking over the QC. There alot of scams when dealing with Chinese business over the internet and especially electronics.
I am a victim myself when i first started importing from China so beware and buy safe!
