Get Goods From China to Your Door – No More Paperwork, Tax or Duty Worries!
Easy Imex manages everything to get your goods from the factory floor in China – right to your door.
You no longer need to worry about customs clearance, tax, insurance, duty, import permits and quarantine. No more paperwork, no need to arrange your own marine cargo insurance.
As an Easy Imex member, you are insured for free. This usually costs 1-2% of the value of your order.
We can export FCL (full container load) and LCL (less than container load) to most major ports in the world using China Shipping or other major shipping lines. We arrange the entire process from exporting your goods from China to delivering to your door.
Would You Like to Save Up to 50% On Your Shipping Costs?
Here are two Easy Imex 20 ft mixed containers at the Shanghai depot. They contain 28 cubic metres of space and cost $160 AUD “all in” per cubic metre to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. £65 to Felixstowe in the UK. They depart once a month for smaller members orders. This allows you to import at the same cost as if you were importing a full container yourself and compete with larger players on freight prices. The savings are often as much as 50% of normal LCL shipments. See “mixed container” for more information.
Will You be Stung by Nasty Fees when Your Goods Arrive?
For any of you who have 'dabbled' in importing goods before, you may have found that once your goods arrived, you got a nasty surprise when you were invoiced for the import fees.
Unfortunately many people pay too much when they're importing. Yes there are essential costs such as tax and duty. However all the other charges: freight, paperwork, document handling, port charges, customs clearance and transport are often charged at higher rates than they should be.
At EASY IMEX we look after our members interests not just with exporting but the entire import process right up to getting your goods to your door. You will find all the fees are the cheapest possible rates due to the volume we bring in and we are very transparent about these charges from the outset.
How Much Does Shipping Cost? A quick warning about factory freight quotes...
We don't put shipping prices on our website as they change regularly, and the total cost depends on the specifics of your order. However, you can fill in our enquiry form and we'll happily give you a quote. Our mixed container service costs $160 per cubic metre "all in" to the east coast of Australia (Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane) and €65 per cubic metre to Felixstowe in the UK.
A quick warning! Factories will often quote you freight prices – which don’t include all the costs at YOUR end. Things like customs clearance, port and handling, trucking from the port, GST, quarantine fees etc.
So you get an artificially low figure and a nasty surprise when your goods arrive. Make sure you are being quoted on the FULL cost – not just part of the cost.
Easy Imex account managers Louis Lui and Morin Xiao, inspect orders before they are shipped out. This is done for free for Easy Imex members.
“WE FOUND LOTS OF INTERESTING IDEAS ONLINE BUT TURNING THAT INTO REALITY IS WHERE WE NEEDED EASY IMEX’S HELP”
We found lots of interesting ideas online but turning that into the reality of an order was where we needed Easy Imex’s help. We sourced our items from a range of manufacturers in China, it was fantastic to let Easy Imex put all of our orders from a number of suppliers together, check the packing and ship all together to Australia. Easy Imex dealt with all the importing requirements – making it hassle free!
As first time importers we had no idea of the requirements of
negotiating orders, ordering samples and international shipping and
customs. Easy Imex helped us to successfully place our first orders and
navigate the difficulties of importing”

“ALL CHARGES WERE REALISTIC AND EVERY QUESTION WAS ANSWERED IN GREAT DETAIL”
The most important benefit of using Easy Imex as opposed to the Brisbane sourcing company I first approached when seeking information and costs on importing from China, was that they were very open and honest with me. All charges were realistic and every question was answered in great detail. The Brisbane sourcing company I sough initially were extremely vague, the costings given to me were very hard to understand and the commission they were going to charge was going to make my new business venture almost unviable.”

"I NO LONGER LOOK AT EASY IMEX AS MY EXPORTING AGENT BUT AS MY BUSINESS PARTNER AND OFFICE IN SHANGHAI"
Easy Imex offers a factory to door service. I no longer have to worry about working with shipping companies, customs and log painful paperwork.
Easy Imex is now a vital part of my business. I no longer look at Easy imex as my export agent, but as my business partner and office in Shanghai.

"IT IS LIKE WORKING WITH A COMPANY IN THE UK!"
Working with Easy Imex has allowed us to focus on progressing our business in the UK without having to constantly check on our manufacturers. They take care of all shipping requirements taking the hassle out of importing. It is like working with a company in the UK. We found them to be a very competent, fast and reliable company”

"I FEEL SECURITY KNOWING THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY BE SENDING LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD, YOU ARE GOING TO GET THE PRODUCT THAT YOU REQUESTED"
On one of our container shipments, we had some product damaged due to loading errors. When we received the product we unloaded it and took pictures and contacted Adam with the managed results. He credited us for the damage and also made changes in the loading procedure so this would not happen again. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s how you handle the mistakes with your customers that installs confidence.
I feel security in knowing that even though you may be sending large amounts of money halfway around the world, you are going to get the product that you requested.”

“EASY IMEX DO A BRILLIANT JOB AND TRULY EARN EVERY CENT OF THEIR FEES”
When we first started on our “china experiment” as we call it we knew right away it would be naive to think we could do it all ourselves. We found Easy Imex online and quickly related to the no nonsense, factual approach they offer.
Adam and Tom (in Australia) were quick to respond to our needs and guided us through the minefield sourcing and negotiating from the other side of the world can be. When we visited Shanghai we were met at the airport - chauffeured and taken care of wonderfully for our entire trip. We learnt and continue to learn so much from Adam and his team.
Our account manager is fantastic and we would never have been able to achieve what we have thus far without her help. We think it’s imperative to have an agent like Easy Imex on your side – the language and cultural barriers alone demand an on the ground Chinese speaking agent not to mention the logistics of it all. Easy Imex do a brilliant job and truly earn every cent of their fees.

“EASY IMEX ARE A TRUSTWORTHY, EFFICIENT COMPANY...WITH GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF THE CHINESE MARKETPLACE”
Easy Imex are a trustworthy, efficient company. They are easy to deal with, very friendly and with good knowledge of the Chinese marketplace. They helped me in many ways:-
- Saving money. My previous agent was very greedy and secretive.
- No headaches with stock that is not “quite right”. No “quality fade”. This saves so much time…and money.
- Their direct contact with the manufacturer keeps the quality compliant with the TGA (therapeutic goods association). Everything is checked very carefully. I receive detailed emails which allow me to check everything before it leaves the factory.
- They support me to maintain my good reputation, which, being a small business, is very valuable to me.
Adam is just so nice to deal with. A great, caring communicator. He is also very accommodating when I want some changes made. Nothing is a hassle. I feel confident that he will fulfil my needs in the future as he has done in the past.
Barbara Elkins, Wisdom for Living, Central Coast, Australia
They handle everything. It really is as simple as choose what you want, get the FOB and landed at your front door price, pay and that is it. They do what they say they do, it is as simple as that.”
John Huntingdon, Homes For Pets, Durham, UK
Using Easy Imex’s monthly shipping service meant that I could buy products at very cheap prices. My costs have dramatically decreased and are even lower than I expected!
Easy Imex is a very trustworthy company. It’s nice to work with a company who understands my aims and concerns and are located in both the country of import and export.”
