Frequently asked questions

What is an import procedure?

An import procedure refers to the steps a buyer must take to legally import products from a foreign country. Since import procedures can vary from country to country, it’s important to have a specialist on hand who understands the nuances of importing goods from a specific country.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in import procedure professionals:

  • Import procedures
  • Logistics and shipping
  • Product sourcing
  • Localized expertise (e.g., importing goods from China to the United States).

Why do you want to hire import procedure specialists?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced import procedure specialist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
