How to Ship with CargoBoss – Beginner’s Guide

CargoBoss Philippines makes importing from China easy, even if you have no prior experience. Just follow these 7 simple steps, and we’ll handle the rest!

Step 1: Find a Supplier & Compare Prices

  • Visit Alibaba.com or other sourcing websites.
  • Search for the product you want to import.
  • We highly recommend contacting at least three suppliers to compare pricing, quality, and lead time.
