Frequently Asked Questions
If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our team!
What is import logistics?
Import logistics is the process of moving goods from a foreign supplier to your final destination, covering freight, customs clearance, tariffs, warehousing, and last-mile delivery. At Importivity, we manage the entire process end-to-end to reduce risk, save costs, and keep your supply chain running smoothly.
How is import logistics different from export logistics?
Import logistics focuses on bringing goods into a country, while export logistics handles shipments going out. Importivity specializes in import export logistics — meaning we help businesses manage both sides of global trade when necessary.
Do you handle shipping from China to the USA?
Yes. We manage all aspects of shipping from China, including DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), Section 301 tariff strategy, and customs clearance. Whether you’re importing electronics, plastics, or consumer goods, we ensure your shipments arrive on time and fully compliant.
What are the benefits of shipping from Mexico instead of China?
Shipping from Mexico offers faster lead times, lower freight costs, and tariff-free advantages under USMCA. This makes nearshoring to Mexico ideal for industries like automotive, metals, and textiles. China, however, still dominates in scale and advanced production — and we help you decide which is best for your products.
Can you also manage shipping from Vietnam?
Absolutely. Vietnam is an increasingly popular sourcing destination for textiles, footwear, and cost-sensitive consumer goods. Importivity provides full-service logistics for Vietnam shipments, including freight coordination, tariff avoidance, and compliance with U.S./EU standards.
How do Incoterms like FOB, CIF, and DDP affect my import logistics?
Incoterms define who is responsible for costs and risks in international shipping. For example, FOB puts more responsibility on the buyer, while DDP gives you one all-inclusive price. Importivity helps you choose the right Incoterm to protect your margins and simplify contracts.
Can Importivity help me lower my import costs?
Yes. We use tariff engineering, bonded warehouses, consolidation strategies, and negotiated freight rates to cut costs. Our proactive monitoring of tariff news also ensures your supply chain is always prepared for changes.
Do you provide compliance testing for imported products?
Yes. Compliance is critical in import logistics. We coordinate testing and certification for FDA, CE, CPSIA, and other regulatory standards to ensure your products pass inspections and avoid costly customs delays.
How do I know whether to ship by air, sea, or land?
It depends on your budget, timeline, and product type. Sea freight is most cost-effective for bulk shipments, air freight offers speed for high-value goods, and cross-border trucking (especially from Mexico) is ideal for rapid replenishment. We build custom logistics plans tailored to your business goals.
How do I get started with Importivity’s import logistics services?
Getting started is simple. Schedule a consultation with our team, and we’ll evaluate your supply chain, identify opportunities to cut costs, and create a logistics plan covering shipping from China, Mexico, or Vietnam.
