Identify a reliable exporter: Making efforts to search, compare and choose a reliable exporter is advised if you would like to get good value for your money. You should do an in-depth search for the right exporter lest you lose money and/or your machinery in the process. Reliable exporters will be very well-established in this business, with years of experience to back them.

Make searches for equipment of interest: Make sure that the equipment you intend to import is listed with the exporter you have chosen. Otherwise, expand your search and compare listings from other reliable exporters in the list. Most exporters sites include pictures of the listed machinery. Examining the pictures will weigh heavily on your final purchase decision.

Request free quote: To understand how much it will cost you to import the machinery of choice, you can request a free quote. To get the quote, you will need to provide a few details to enable the system to calculate the quote automatically.

Making payment: After you are satisfied of the search and the quote thereof, you will need to make payment for it. Some exporters use a bidding system that the customer has to follow. Whenever the customer succeeds in their bid, they will be required to make payment promptly.

Transportation: One of the benefits of using a reliable exporter is that the customer will worry little on how the equipment will be transported. In such cases, the importer will arrange for the transportation and the associated costs .

Taking delivery: Most importers have delivery points in specified locations. Whenever the customer places their order, they are required to specify their best delivery point. Whenever the customer receives a delivery notification, they or their proxies should avail themselves to these delivery stations or towns, within the specified time, to take delivery.
