Can I use Abanro if my company is outside the U.S.?
Yes. That is who we built Abanro for. You ship through Los Angeles or Long Beach, we handle the U.S. side, and our team is there 24/7. We respond within 6 hours.
Do I need a U.S. company to work with you?
Not to use our services. Every import into the U.S. needs an importer of record, and a company outside the U.S. can usually act as its own. You don't need your own customs broker either: we arrange clearance for you.
Can you prepare inventory for Amazon FBA?
Yes. We receive, inspect, label with FNSKU, bag or wrap as needed, bundle, pack cartons, and forward to Amazon fulfillment centers.
Do I need to find my own customs broker?
No. Abanro arranges your U.S. customs clearance and manages it through release, at competitive, transparent rates. If you already work with a broker, you can keep them. Customs duties, taxes and government charges are separate.
Can you forward inventory to a distributor, retailer or 3PL?
Yes. We ship by parcel, LTL or pallet to Amazon, 3PLs, distributors, retailers, wholesale customers or your own warehouse, and arrange pickups.
Do you accept food, supplements and cosmetics?
Yes, these are important categories for us. Some regulated products need review before we accept them, so we check each shipment at the quote stage and tell you what we need.
How does pricing work?
We publish starting prices for each service, and each one says what it includes. Your quote depends on volume, dimensions, handling, packaging, storage time and destination. Email price@abanro.com for a quote.
Do I have to use the Abanro software?
No. The workspace is optional. Many customers use it to manage buyers, follow-up and trade documents, but our services work the same without it.
Can you help us find buyers for our food products?
For shelf-stable food products that do not require refrigeration or frozen storage, yes. Market Introduction introduces your product to up to 25 suitable retailers, restaurants and foodservice buyers in Southern California, tracks the response and reports back. We don't buy your inventory. The 3-Month U.S. Market Entry Program is $2,950, with the first SKU and its first pallet included, and a 25% sales commission applies only to sales Abanro generates during those three months.
