I know those and I even use base 1 for mine but unfortunately, it will save me more money if I use sea to ship my product. Though it will take 30-60 days to arrive which I can wait.

So how did your importation adventure go?

I have been researching a lot about importation and exportation cost for some time and can't seem to see those who are willing to help out.

Bring it on bro

Let me tell you how we do ours, we have at least 2manufacturing companies we buy things from and from the beginning they handle our shipping, so already the shipping freight which has a fixed price will be included in the PFI (proforma invoice). The company then send the name of the shipping company to us and usually our agent handles the rest till we get our goods. I don't know if this helps in any way

My best advice, seek the services of a freightfowarder in your best interest. The values you are quoting aren't the real deal from experience. Firstly, have you opened a 'FORM M' with the bank of your choice before proceeding to ship in your goods? Secondly, you can contact any shipping line of your choice for the shipment of your goods e.g MAERSK LINE, COSCO, PIL, CGM e.t.c to confirm cost. You can then notify your sender on your preferred shipping vessel line for him to send your goods through. There exist other little charges which you are not aware of but might pop later to add to the shipping cost. Though you will be notified accordingly by the shipping company.
Important point to note, ensure you open a 'FORM M' before bringing in your goods otherwise you might end up over paying for your goods !

what is the meaning of form m?

You will need an agent to help u in doing the orders. Since u re not familiar with the process, u might be duped cos paying directly to a manufacturer is very risky as some of them re scammers. There re genuine people there thou but just to be on a safer side.
