Questions
Shipping to the US, answered.
Can we use this without a distribution partnership?
Yes. You can book shipping and US warehousing as a separate service. We quote per shipment and per month of storage.
Who is the importer of record?
When KOD is your distributor, we import the goods. For a standalone shipment we agree the importer of record with you before the goods leave the Netherlands.
How long does it take?
Air freight takes days, sea freight a few weeks from door to door. We plan the route around your launch date and stock levels.
Can you ship straight to Amazon FBA?
Yes. We can deliver to Amazon fulfilment centres directly or keep a buffer in our US warehouse and replenish FBA as it sells.
What will duties cost?
Duties depend on the product and its HS code. We give you an estimate before you ship, so there are no surprises.
