If you buy from China you need to have a sample first on small items to check most will send this if they are interested in your business.As of carriage most will send FOB from a port near them to a port closest to you then you have to transport to your warehouse.I don't know what sort of goods you are after, you should start by searching some web pages i have added two but there are many to chose from.I do business for company's from China for export to the US for many things,i even go to there factory's to see there Quality some times.As of the 30% that's normal on trade world wide many use TT or LC on payments. If the packing is of wood remember it needs to have a fumigated certificate to say its done as many are fussy on this.How long does it take to ship goods from china, is it worth the problems that arise deaking with overseas sell

Establish contractual parameters with your vendor concerning quality and shipping times. If your vendor has done business with the USA before, they already know the approximate shipping times to most ports in the USA ... transit times will vary greatly, depending upon your preferred port of entry (west coast, gulf or east coast). As far as payment terms are concerned, it would be better to open a letter of credit ("L/C") through a U.S. commercial bank. It will protect you in case the provisions of the sales contract aren't met (quality, quantity, etc.). Just be sure to make your quality standards and shipping times an integral part of the L/C and spelled-out in writing. If they don't comply, they don't get paid.
