I’m ordering $700 worth of product from Alibaba. What costs (other than shipping) will I be responsible for? Shipping from China to U.S.

从阿里巴巴订购价值 700 美元的产品,中国运往美国,我需要负责哪些费用(运费除外)?

hese are all the costs for a compete transaction:

这些是交易可能存在的所有成本:

#1,Product cost

#1,产品成本

#2,Shipping cost (China domestic shipping and US shipping)

#2,运费(中国国内段运费和中国至美国段运费)

#3,Custom Cost (Docs, handling fee etc.)

#3, 可能成本(文件、手续费等)

#4,Tax and duty. (US side)

#4,税收和关税。(美方)

If the 700 USD includes the product cost only, then apart from shipping cost, you’ll need to pay for #3 and #4. It’s recommended to confirmed with supplier which incoterms you used for your order. If it’s EXW, you need to cover the cost of #3 from your end; If it’s FOB terms, then your supplier pays #3,#4 is always on your side.

如果 700 美元仅包括产品成本,那么除了运费外,您还需要支付#3 和#4 的费用。建议与供应商确认您在订单中使用了哪些国际贸易术语。如果是 EXW,你需要自己承担#3 的费用;如果它是 FOB条款,那么您的供应商支付 #3、#4永远在你身边。

If you use express shipping e.g. DHL/UPS/ special airlines with door to door service, you just need to pay the air freight in one time.If the cargo value is less than 800USD, you may not be charged for duty based on this amount. (Please follow the latest US Customs policies)

如果你使用快递运输,如DHL/UPS/特殊航空公司的门到门服务,你只需要一次性支付空运费。如果货物价值低于800美元,正常情况下此票货物可能无需支付关税(请根据美国海关的最新政策)

It depends on the shipping way you choose.

这些根据你选择的运输方式决定如何收费。
