Six Steps to Importing a Chinese Mini Digger Excavator from China by using Alibaba
Рет қаралды 37,067
Күн бұрынSteps to Buying a Chinese Mini Digger
Step 1: Why consider China Mini vs New, Domestic, Japanese and Gray Market
Step 2: Alibaba Communication & Selecting Manufacturer
Step 3: Method of Payment
Step 4: Hiring a Customs Broker
Step 5: Filing Paperwork
Step 6: Picking Up From Transfer Center
Customs broker I used: kenny@klinkusa.com
Gas Briggs and Straton and Diesel Kubota Powered Min Garden Digger import, imported from China. Chinese Excavator review, demo in Montana. Imported to Seattle, West Coast, Tacoma, Portland, ocean freight.
To calculate Price:
Alibaba Machine Price with freight (only from Manufacture to ship)
Custom Fee Add 25%
ocean Freight $700- $1000 Depending on Port
Bond, Filing Fees, Transfer Holding Fee & Misc add $500
and that should be a pretty close estimate of final cost.

Cool video. I appreciate you clarifying a lot of the purchasing and import related questions. I am considering buying a landing craft aluminum boat from Alibaba, but was hesitant to do so. Now I have a better understanding of what this entails. Thank you! As for the criticism of not "buying American" . . . when corporations move their manufacturing abroad, sell their products are regular prices and pocket the savings, it is called "capitalism": When you cut out the middle man, some people criticize this from their Chinese made phones, while using their Chinese made "American" tools! Ignore the haters . . . I appreciate you!

Very helpful info. Too bad didn't know all this ahead of time when I brought my machine in a year ago. Done many smaller shipments from China and used DHL and UPS to handle everything to my door. This was my first purchase that came in a crate. Most of the parts for "American" machines are coming from China any way and are used in these "off brand" machines.

Why is it a better machine from the importer?
@Miniscapes515 8 ай бұрын
@jakebell1947 hydraulic thumb standard. Upgraded Eaton pumps Parker drive units, thicker steal, better welds, side swing option, still get kubota engines or real briggs and straton and just the fact that if you need a part or support you actually have someone here who speaks English and will actually answer the phone after sale. They are just spected out better. When you do it yourself unless you know what to ask for, you are going to get the cheapest of the cheap.. Look into ground hog, iorn rhino, or my favorite Kymron equipment.

It just makes you wonder why I comparable " American" machine would be over $30,000. It's almost a no-brainer to buy the $5,000 Chinese machine unless you are in some kind of excavation business. These affordable machines allow people like me to get our jobs done more cost-effective therefore I can employ more people on my farm. It's actually a small win for American jobs. The cost of equipment is one of the biggest drains for running a business besides labor
