A Guide for First-Time Buyers<\/h1>\n<p>Buying a $20,000 Dust Collector or Filter Press from China is a big decision. Many buyers worry about customs, shipping damage, or hidden costs. Here is a step-by-step guide from the Porvoo Export Team.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Choose the Right Incoterms (CIF vs. FOB)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tip-box\"><strong>FOB (Free On Board):<\/strong> We put the machine on the ship. You handle the ocean freight. Good if you have a trusted forwarder.<br \/>\n<strong>CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight):<\/strong> We handle everything until it reaches your port. Easier for first-time buyers.<\/div>\n<h2>2. Packaging is Critical<\/h2>\n<p>Ocean air is salty and humid. If the machine is not wrapped in <strong>VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) film<\/strong>, it will arrive rusty. At Porvoo, we use 3 layers of protection and fumigated wooden crates compliant with ISPM 15 standards.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Spare Parts Strategy<\/h2>\n<p>Shipping a small part later by air is expensive. We always recommend buying a <strong>&#8220;2-Year Spare Parts Kit&#8221;<\/strong> (Filter cloths, O-rings, Buttons) together with the machine. It ships for free inside the container.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Installation Support<\/h2>\n<p>Do you need a visa for our engineers? Or can we install it remotely? Check our &#8220;Remote Installation Guide&#8221; to save travel costs.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"porvoo-btn\" href=\"mailto:porvookjj@qq.com\">Get a CIF Quote to Your Port<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Import Heavy Machinery from China Safely?
