How can I tell if a supplier in China or the US is legitimate and not a scam?
Validation is key. We recommend verifying their business license, years in operation, and bank references. As part of our services, we conduct supplier audits and verify the authenticity of factories to ensure your investment in machinery or construction supplies is secure.
Which is better for me: less-than-container load (LCL) or full container load (FCL)?
It depends on the volume. If you’re bringing in fine finishes or samples, LCL (less than container load) allows you to pay only for the space you use. But if you’re bringing in steel, cement, or flooring for a complete project, FCL (full container load) is more cost-effective and secure. We optimize this decision based on your construction schedule.ra.
I can import used heavy machinery?
Yes, but there are age restrictions (generally no more than 5 to 15 years depending on the type of vehicle/machinery). Additionally, it must comply with environmental regulations. We verify if your equipment complies with Law 168-21 before you make the purchase.
Why should I use a logistics agent instead of doing it myself?
Logistics isn’t just about moving boxes; it’s about legal compliance and cost savings. We prevent you from paying late fees for delays, help you with the correct tariff classification, and give you real-time visibility. Basically, you focus on selling, and we make sure the product arrives.
I'm an entrepreneur and I want to import raw materials, do I need to be registered as an importer?
Yes. To operate legally and clear goods through customs in your name, you must have an active RNC (Taxpayer Identification Number) and register as an Importer with the General Directorate of Customs (DGA). At Ruben Conecta, we advise you on this registration and obtaining the Token for the SIGA system, ensuring your profile is ready before your first shipment arrives.
