I have asked for a quotation from a wind turbine factory which they sent to me, but the postage was for delivery to a warehouse in “Boalders Yard”. I do not have a contact for them and do not know what the cost will be from there to South Africa. How does postage from China to South Africa work and how does one calculate the postage and import duties?

Although new importers are generally aware that unexpected costs may come into play when shifting from domestic purchasing to sourcing overseas, the full impact is often not realized until the first order is complete. Dylan Blankenship of SourceJuice spells out what items need to be included to calculate total landed cost and how to minimize them.

Discussions of quality control often center on ensuring that materials, components and, of course, final products conform to certain specifications. But the quest for quality in an order also extends beyond the loading dock into the shipping process. Flagging container loading as a key moment in that process, Michael Hetzel of Pro QC advises buyers to keep inspectors -- whether their own staff or an inspection service -- engaged at this stage to prevent post-production problems.

FOB...CIF...EXW... Those are just a few examples of the alphabet soup of common trade terms importers need to be familiar with when shipping from China. Formally known as Incoterms, they are a series of standard trade definitions used in international sales contracts to define the handover of risk and transportation costs from supplier to buyer.
