Our knowledge is your long-term peace of mind!

How we take you from idea to shelf

Feasibility check: we work out the full landed cost (product, freight, duty, VAT and port charges) so you know whether the deal makes sense.
Supplier search and vetting: factories with a track record, checked for quality and for the standards your product must meet in Israel.
Samples: before a large order, samples from one or more suppliers to compare quality.
Negotiation and contract: price, delivery times, delivery terms and payment terms, all written into the order.
Shipping, customs and delivery: by sea or air, through customs, to your warehouse.

Delivery terms: who pays for what

EXW: you are responsible from the supplier’s factory.
FOB (sea) or FCA (air): the supplier hands the goods to the carrier, and responsibility passes to you.
CIF (sea) or CIP (air): the supplier pays freight and insurance to Israel, but the charges at the port in Israel are yours.
DAP or DDP: the supplier is responsible up to your door, and with DDP also for the taxes.

Many importers prefer FOB or FCA, because they choose the forwarder and stay in control of the costs.

Paying the supplier

The common practice is a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment. With a new supplier, avoid paying the full amount in advance, and make sure payment terms, delivery terms and the schedule are written into the order.

Quality control before shipment

The cheapest place to fix a problem is before the goods leave. Checking quantity, quality, packing and labelling at the factory before loading costs far less than finding a problem in Israel, after freight and taxes have been paid.

Plan around Chinese New Year

Around Chinese New Year, in January or February, many factories in China close for several weeks, and production and shipping are busy before that. Goods needed in spring should be ordered early. Importing from China
