Use a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service. This service handles all logistics, U.S. customs clearance, tariff payments, and final delivery. We manage the entire process, turning a complex international shipment into a simple, risk-free purchase for your business, even with zero import experience.
You see the huge opportunity in the U.S. fitness market and have found the perfect gym flooring. But the idea of dealing with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), calculating import tariffs, and figuring out requirements like an EIN number is a major roadblock. For American businesses, especially first-time importers, these federal regulations and unpredictable costs are significant barriers. They make it nearly impossible to calculate your final landed cost and plan your budget. This guide is designed to solve these exact problems. I will walk you through our DDP service, showing you exactly how we manage the entire import process from our factory floor in China directly to your U.S. warehouse. We make importing simple.
To truly understand how much our service simplifies things, you need to see the specific challenges of the U.S. market that we handle for you. Let’s look at the regulations and logistics that often stop businesses from importing.
What U.S. Import Challenges Do We Handle For You?
We manage all critical U.S. import requirements for you. This includes ensuring product compliance with standards like ASTM E648 for fire safety and handling all customs logistics. We use your EIN for declaration, pay all duties, and eliminate the regulatory and financial risks of importing.
Navigating the U.S. market involves more than just shipping a product; it requires a deep understanding of local regulations and logistics. As your partner, we take on these complex tasks so you can focus on sales. We have found that U.S. importers face two main hurdles: product compliance and customs clearance. We have built our service to address both. You no longer need to become an expert in fire safety codes or a licensed customs broker. Our process covers these details from the start, ensuring your product is not only high-quality but also fully compliant and ready for the American market upon arrival. Below is a clear breakdown of what you would normally handle versus what we do for you.
The Traditional Way (Your Responsibility) | Our DDP Service (Our Responsibility) |
---|---|
Find & hire a U.S. customs broker. | We manage everything with our U.S. partner. |
Calculate & pay unpredictable import duties. | Your price is fixed and all-inclusive. |
File complex customs paperwork (Entry/IM). | We handle all customs documentation. |
Arrange U.S. inland trucking from the port. | Final delivery to your door is included. |
Assume all risks of delays & inspections. | We take full responsibility for the entire journey. |
Now that you see the benefits, let me show you exactly how our transparent, four-step process works to bring your order directly to your door without any surprises.
What Is Our 4-Step DDP Process for the USA?
Our process has four simple steps. First, you get a single all-inclusive quote to your U.S. address. Second, you confirm the order and provide your EIN. Third, we manage all shipping and U.S. customs. Fourth, the gym flooring is delivered directly to your door.
Transparency is the key to trust, especially in international trade. I want you to feel confident and informed throughout the entire process. We have refined our DDP service for the U.S. market into a straightforward, four-step operation that removes all complexity from your side. You are never left wondering about the status of your shipment or facing unexpected bills. From the moment you request a quote until the truck arrives at your facility, we manage every detail. This system is designed specifically for U.S. wholesalers who want to focus on their business, not on becoming logistics experts. It is a true "set it and forget it" solution. Here is exactly what happens at each stage.
Step 1: The All-Inclusive "Landed Cost" Quotation
Your only job here is to tell us which gym flooring products you need, the quantity, and your full U.S. delivery address with the ZIP code. Our team then calculates a single, all-in DDP price. This quote is your final landed cost. It includes the product, ocean freight, marine insurance, all U.S. import duties and tariffs, and the final-mile trucking to your door. There are absolutely no hidden fees.
Step 2: Order Confirmation & U.S. Import Preparation
Once you approve the quote, you just need to confirm the order. At this stage, we will ask for your company’s legal name, address, and Employer Identification Number (EIN). The EIN is a federal tax ID number that U.S. Customs requires to identify your business as the importer of record. With that information, your work is done. Our team begins production and prepares all the necessary documentation for both export from China and import into the United States.
Step 3: U.S. Port Arrival & Customs Clearance
This is where our service provides the most value. When your shipment arrives at a U.S. port like Long Beach or New York, our dedicated, U.S.-based licensed customs broker takes over immediately. They act as your official agent, filing all the required import declarations with CBP using your EIN. They pay all the assessed duties and tariffs directly to the U.S. Treasury on your behalf. You do not need to speak with any customs officials or handle any payments. We manage this entire critical step to ensure a smooth and compliant release of your goods.
Step 4: Final Delivery to Your Door
After your gym flooring has been officially cleared by U.S. Customs, it is picked up from the port by a U.S. trucking company. We will then coordinate directly with you or your warehouse manager to schedule a convenient delivery appointment. Your role is simply to be available to receive the shipment. The driver will arrive, you will sign for the goods, and the import process is complete. It is that simple.
That’s the entire process. Your only task is providing some basic information at the start and then being ready to receive your order at the end.
