Can I use Abanro if my company is outside the U.S.?
Yes. That is who we built Abanro for. We can pick up your goods in your country, ship them to the U.S. through Los Angeles or Long Beach, clear customs and handle everything here, and our team is there 24/7. We respond within 6 hours.
Can you pick up goods from our factory or warehouse?
Yes. We arrange pickup at your factory, supplier or warehouse in your home country and coordinate international shipping to the U.S. If you already work with a freight forwarder, we can coordinate with them instead.
Do I have to use every service?
No. Abanro can handle the whole route as one partner, from pickup at your warehouse abroad to final delivery in the U.S. If part of the route is already covered, use only the steps you need, such as warehousing, Amazon FBA prep or order fulfillment. Each service is quoted on its own.
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. In eligible cases, Abanro can also act as your importer of record.
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. We handle U.S. customs clearance as part of our Door to Door service, at competitive, transparent rates. If you already work with a broker, we can work with 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.
Can I see my U.S. inventory and shipments online?
Yes. Abanro Workspace gives you 24/7 access to your operation: pickup and international shipping, customs clearance, receiving, stock by SKU and location, orders and every delivery to Amazon FBA or your customers. Our team is behind every update, and we respond within 6 hours.
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, works toward real shelf placement and sales, and reports back every month. Your inventory stays yours. Starter, our three-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.
