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 importer of record through a customs broker. We coordinate with your broker, or with a licensed customs broker arranged through Abanro.
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 you handle customs clearance?
Yes, we coordinate it. Use your own licensed customs broker or one arranged through Abanro. We coordinate the clearance process and follow the shipment through release.
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 an agreed number of suitable retailers, restaurants and foodservice buyers in Southern California, tracks the response and reports back. We don't buy your inventory. Pricing for the introduction campaign is available on request, and a 25% sales commission applies to sales generated through Abanro.
