Hi,

Has anyone ever imported a container of products in without a freight forwarder?

What would the process for this be? Who would I contact to ship it from the port in China and then ship it from the port here?

Basically I’ve been importing a very large and expensive item in from China using a freight forwarder and it ends up that the freight forwarder with shipping is costing me about $100 per product.

I’m thinking that doing the importing process myself could save me around $50 per product, so I’m just looking into how complicated this would be?

Thanks,
Pete
