Why IKARTO

Import is only half the journey

We are an e-commerce agency that imports, not a freight forwarder that occasionally sells something. You can see the difference in your results.

01

E-commerce backup

We import with sales in mind: with ready-made descriptions and listings for Allegro and Amazon, not just a pallet in a warehouse.

02

Full quality control

Factory audits, pre-shipment inspections and VR: you know what you are getting before you pay for it.

03

Legal security

Compliance, certificates (CE, GPSR), documentation and customs clearance are on our side, not yours.

04

One point of contact

From the factory to the warehouse, you talk to one team. No ping-pong between companies.

Frequently asked questions

Importing from China, no guesswork

We have gathered the questions we hear most often. Don't see yours? Write to us and we will give you a concrete answer.

01 Is there a minimum order value?
No. We calculate every order individually, and you decide whether, at the final price in Poland, the import is worthwhile for you.
02 How much does IKARTO's service cost?
We don't have a fixed price list. We set our fee as a fixed amount or a percentage, depending on the scale of the order. The first consultation and quote are free of charge.
03 Will I know all the costs before I decide?
Yes. Our offer shows an estimated full cost excl. VAT: product, customs duty, transport, our service, and audits and inspections.
04 Do I have to find a supplier myself?
No. Based on your specification, price expectations and order size, we find and verify the best offer for you.
05 Will I get samples before ordering?
Yes. Suppliers often provide free samples, so you only cover the logistics cost.
06 How long does the whole import take?
Production usually takes 30–90 days. On top of that comes transport: air ~6–8 days, rail ~18–22 days, sea ~30–45 days, plus customs clearance of ~3–5 business days. We provide the specific schedule in the offer.
07 Is the cargo insured in transit?
Yes. Cargo insurance is standard for a secure transaction, and its cost is always shown in the import offer.
08 Is a supplier audit necessary?
On platforms like Alibaba or Made-in-China, quite a few companies are scammers. We skip the audit only for a supplier we have checked in person or after many years of cooperation. In other cases, it is the foundation of risk control.
09 What quality inspections can I order?
Most often: inspection during production, pre-shipment inspection after production, and loading supervision. We work according to AQL standards.
10 What are Incoterms (EXW, FOB, CIF)?
International rules (INCOTERMS 2020) that define how costs are split and when risk is transferred. EXW: pickup at the supplier, risk on your side. FOB: the supplier loads the goods onto the ship. CIF: the supplier covers freight and insurance to the destination port.
11 Do I pay VAT and customs duty as an importer?
Yes. The customs authority calculates duties and taxes, and the importer pays them directly when the goods are released for free circulation. We make sure the whole procedure is done correctly.
12 What requirements must I meet as an importer in Poland?
An EORI number (registration on PUESC), an entry in the BDO register and, optionally, active EU VAT (VAT-UE) taxpayer status. We will guide you through all the formalities.
