Maximize Your Import Profits
Pro tips for resellers and wholesale importers.
Consolidate Shipments
Combine multiple supplier orders into one container. This drastically reduces your per-unit shipping cost and improves overall margin.
Verify HS Codes
Correct Harmonized System (HS) classification can legally reduce your customs duty burden. Always verify codes before shipping.
Buffer for Hidden Costs
Always include port handling, local transport, and potential storage fees in your shipping cost field to avoid margin surprises after delivery.
