Does anyone know if you can get the PPQ 585 certificate with a Virtual Business Address? We are an LLC and they told us that they need a permanent address in United States to obtain that certificate so we cannot import wood products to the United States. Anyone who can help us?

I thought that all i needed to do was place my order and pay for the shipping price they charge. Don't they take care of of shipping to my Wererhouse? She said " As we know express transportations does not include import customs duty, which needs to be paid by customers." So this is where i am confused? How do I pay custom duties since i am already going to pay for the shipping fee alibaba requests? I thought that was included with shipping all the way to California warehouse?

    • @SpencerJan
      @SpencerJan  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Like with most business decisions, it's an exercise of weighing out the opportunity costs of each. If $ is the most important, figure out which is the cheapest. If being able to check on your inventory or be physically close to it matters, then weigh that against the possible increase in cost/shipping time to customer. If having a dry climate for your products is important, weigh that out. Every decision you make to do something is ALSO a decision to NOT do something
