A world of possibilities
Welcome to a world of infinite possibilities, where we are here so you can jump the barrier and import all the products you want with the guarantee of the best quality at the lowest possible price.
Our services
We specialize in eliminating the gap between those who generate the sales and those who produce the goods. We make a complex process transparent to our partners by accompanying them through the different stages of the business.
Supplier market scanning
We work in direct contact with the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT Beijing), which assures us of serious suppliers with products with recognized reputations. We select suppliers that guarantee high quality products and are real business opportunities for our customers.
Sample management
Once the products have been selected from trusted suppliers, we manage the samples so that the customer can handle the products in person, avoiding unnecessary mishaps and logistics in the future and confidence in what is going to be purchased.
Product selection
The purchasing manager selects a product and the minimum characteristics it must meet to start the process.
Purchase order
Once the products to be purchased have been selected, the purchase order is placed with the customers. IBS Worldwide resolves with the suppliers all logistic issues in Chinese territory, including distances, cargo handling times, payments and any issues up to FOB (Free On Board).
Testing. Failure rate less than 1%.
The merchandise is tested before being shipped, which reduces the failure rate and guarantees that what is purchased is what will actually be received. This translates into cost reduction.
Our paid services are up to FOB. However, we can assist in all the logistic process and transportation to your warehouse.
From Asia to your warehouse
Information for Argentina
Due to the unstable economic situation in Argentina, it is important to be aware of some of the issues involved in the process.
Ad Valorem import duties
In Argentina, imports are subject to the so-called Ad Valorem import duties. These range from 1% to 35% and their variation depends on the type of products to be imported.
Taxable rights
There are other duties in addition to ad valorem duties, such as antidumping, countervailing and specific duties, among others
Import tariffs in Argentina
Imports into Argentina, regardless of the product in question, are subject to a series of tariffs. IBS Worldwide assists the importer to calculate the budget and costs of its operations.
Statistical Rate
In addition to the above rates, the statistical rate, which may be 3% or 0%, must be considered. VAT (IVA), Additional VAT (IVA), Income Tax, Gross Income Tax, among others, must also be taken into account.
Customs management
The services of a customs broker must be contracted, who are the agents in charge of classifying the merchandise, the corresponding customs declaration, and the preparation and processing of the documents required for all foreign trade operations.
Both the customs duties and the statistical rate are calculated according to the CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) value of the goods. We assist our customers in estimating the cost of the goods from origin to warehouse.
