I would suggest using a broker/agent, yes. There is so much involved with international shipping that you don’t need to do yourself (but must be done correctly) that it’s worth the few hundred dollars in fees. If the fabric is not new, you may not even be able to get it into China. Good luck!

We need to send some fabric to a factory in China. We have a freight quote and the material is ready to go. My question is: can we ship directly to the factory (regardless of the load size) or do we need to use a broker / agent? I am aware of the 30% fees when importing. Thanks for our help. Hi,
