Can I use the special tariffs of pvXchange even if I am not a registered participant of pvXchange?
No, unfortunately not. But registration with us is simple and free of charge. Just go to the following page and register with us.
CIF or FOB?
The disadvantages of CIF, although these at first appear to be more favourable:
- Transport insurance through Asian policies
- Claims must achieve acceptance before Asian courts
- No influence on transit time planning as suppliers use slow "B" carriers
- Hidden fees, such as China import service fee, cession of goods, handover fees, etc.
- Favourable on-carriage not always possible
- Fees to return the empty container
On the other hand, the advantages of FOB are:
- Transport insurance according to European law
- Faster damage regulation
- Perfect agreement reaching with your supplier in the language of the country
- Minimisation of risk: payment / remaining payment only against goods
- Complete control of transit route
- Continuous flow of information
- Clear, comprehensive price structure
- Optimised, more favourable on-carriage planning
How can I save with the help of turnover tax on imports?
The state offers importers the possibility to set up a so-called tax deposit account for turnover tax on imports. These interest-free import duties are debited to the importer's account on the 15th of the following month. In the best-case scenario this can mean up to almost 1.5 months of interest-free deferred payment. Cargo SEAL takes care of the whole application on behalf of its customers. Your advantages: deferred payment with a tax deposit account and therefore interest-free liquidity.
How can I consolidate deliveries of different suppliers into one batch?
The goods are consolidated by Cargo SEAL, e.g. in China. Goods of different suppliers are loaded in own containers. When unloading in the warehouse in Hamburg these consignments are split up again as requested and distributed to each consignee.
What do I do if I only have one small order and the consignment does not fill a whole container? Or goods which fill just a bit more than one container?
Cargo SEAL has its own weekly consolidated containers ex Hong Kong and Shanghai. These container services offer fast transit times and high reliability. Advantages: you can also place small orders and container surpluses are shipped quickly and reliably.
Does Cargo SEAL store and pick and pack the goods?
Yes, goods can be stored and on-carriage orders can be placed directly. Furthermore, also special repacking requirements, etc. can be realised.
