Hi, Going to importing some sporting goods from China for re-sale in Ireland. As I'm not familiar with the process I could do with some help!
a). Prices were quoted FOB and Ex-Works, what's the difference?
Exworks and fob arent much use. Find out what the c&F price is to your door, all in and PM me, I have a pal who will tell you if its competitive.
b). Any idea of the custom duties that would be charged?
You need to contact customs office for this info as each product will have a different duty value
c). Who is the best, most reliable and cost effective freight group to use to import the goods? Any ideas on costs?
Depends on quantities, size/weight etc etc.
Thanks
