FAQ
Importer questions
Short answers for common China-to-Ethiopia coordination questions.
Do you inspect goods before shipping?
Yes. When inspection is selected, we coordinate it against the customer checklist before the shipment moves to shipping approval.
What is included in the shipping coordination fee?
The fee covers readiness follow-up, shipping-agent coordination, booking follow-up, loading oversight when included, and document control. Freight, duties, taxes, storage, insurance, and third-party fees are separate unless included.
Do you handle both LCL and FCL?
Yes. We coordinate LCL shipments from 1 CBM and FCL shipments such as 20ft and 40ft containers from China to worldwide destinations.
Do you negotiate supplier prices?
No. Alemport focuses on operational coordination, readiness verification, inspection, shipping coordination, loading oversight, and document control.
What happens if the goods change after inspection?
Supplier changes after inspection are outside scope unless the goods are re-inspected.
