Hidden Costs When Importing Furniture from China: Landed Cost Checklist
Short answer
A practical landed cost guide for contractors, developers, and procurement teams importing commercial furniture from China, covering freight, duties, port charges, storage, unloading, and local delivery.
Scope note: FUMA supports specification review, production coordination, complementary sourcing when needed, QC, packing labels, export-side logistics, and remote clarification. Local installation, customs duties, site receiving, and final site acceptance must be arranged or contract-defined locally.

How we support this type of furniture project
FUMA is not a local installation contractor. We support international buyers from specification review to production coordination, complementary sourcing, QC, export logistics, and export-ready handover for the client-appointed local installation team.
Specification review
Clarify drawings, materials, standards, quantities, and commercial scope before production starts.
Production and QC control
Coordinate production milestones, sample approval, inspection points, packing, and spare parts.
Export-ready handover
Prepare carton marks, room labels, layout references, and remote clarification for client-appointed local teams.
