More advice needed on Import from China

[05Mav]

Hi all,

I know this has been discussed before but the simple person i am i stilll need some help.
I am thinking of importing a container from China, price is FOB i understand that the seller is responsible for getting the container to the port (Ningbo).
How do i go about getting the container onboard and then shipped to Ireland. Can i call any of the companies mentioned in previous thereads and explain the situation. And will they look after it from there.
What would be the rough costs for everything for shipment of 20ft container from China to Dublin.

Thanks for any help.

You would need to talk to a Irish based shipping company or ask your China supplier to quote you a CIF Price , see below for how this works.

I was in touch with Maersk, i was wondering if anyone uses them, and what they are like.
