For international clients, understanding customs and import duties is crucial when ordering from overseas manufacturers. Hongyi Outdoor Furniture Factory has established a robust and transparent process to handle these complexities, ensuring a seamless experience for global partners.
Hongyi primarily operates on two widely accepted Incoterms: Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) and Delivered at Place (DAP). For orders under DDP, Hongyi takes full responsibility. Their logistics team calculates all estimated costs—including export documentation, destination port charges, customs clearance, and import taxes—and provides a comprehensive, all-inclusive quote upfront. They handle the entire process from their factory to the client's specified address. This turnkey solution offers maximum convenience and predictability for buyers.
For DAP shipments, Hongyi manages the export procedures and delivery to the destination port or named place. The buyer is then responsible for the actual import customs clearance and payment of duties and taxes upon arrival. In this case, Hongyi's experienced export department ensures all necessary documents—such as the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and bill of lading—are accurately prepared and supplied to facilitate a smooth customs process for the importer.
A key part of their service is proactive consultation. Hongyi's sales team advises clients on the optimal shipping terms based on their location, order volume, and familiarity with import regulations. They provide detailed breakdowns of potential charges and guide clients on the required documentation specific to their country, such as EPA certifications for the USA or CE markings for the European Union.
By leveraging long-term relationships with reliable freight forwarders and shipping lines, Hongyi ensures competitive rates and efficient routing. Their expertise minimizes the risk of delays at customs due to incorrect paperwork or valuation issues. Ultimately, Hongyi Outdoor Furniture Factory demystifies international trade logistics, allowing buyers to focus on product quality and design while they manage the intricacies of cross-border delivery.
