We pride ourselves on making the import process "stress-free." Our dedicated export department handles the booking of containers, preparation of all customs documentation, and coordination with your chosen freight forwarder. We understand the specific import regulations for regions ranging from Southeast Asia to Latin America and Africa.
1. How long does the whole process take? Production usually takes 30-45 days. Shipping time depends on your location (e.g., 15 days to Southeast Asia, 35-45 days to the US or Europe).
2. What are the import duties for roll forming machines? Duties vary by country. In many regions, industrial machinery has a lower duty rate (3-10%) compared to consumer goods. Consult a local customs broker for your specific rate.
3. Do I need to buy insurance? Yes. We always recommend "All Risks" marine insurance. It is inexpensive (usually <$100) and protects your investment during the voyage.
4. How do I handle maintenance after importing? We provide a maintenance guide and keep all your machine’s specifications on file. If you need a spare part, we can ship it via DHL/FedEx within days.
5. Can you help with "Door-to-Door" shipping? In many countries, we can arrange DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping, where we handle everything from our factory to your door.
