How do i drop ship internationally? My main concern is the cost to bring in goods. I want to sell a product to a customer in the US, but the main supplier is in China. Wont there be an importation cost the customer need to pay when the product reaches the US borders? Will the customer need to pay that cost, or do i include that cost in my item? What if i sell wholesale and a customer purchases 1000 of the same item at once? How do i incorporate importation cost? Im very new to Drop Shipping and havent tried it yet, but i have a supplier and Id like to sell on ebay. Thoughts?
 
If you're gonna go for large amounts you'll need to discuss the contract amendtments with the other party and talk whether you're gonna work on a Cost and Freight basis, Ex Works or any other trade options that now I can't remember and each will have its own way to deal with those responsabilities.

For a regular client that buys a single product will be the usual flipping coin method see how lucky they are getting their order stopped at customs or if the cost is small may not even apply for custom dutties.
