If I would like to buy a huge amounts of chinese products from china
based company which I
encountered from alibaba.com, is there any company in USA (east and
west coast) that can acted as an importer and deal with all the shipping, duty
and taxes for this product, and then send me this product for my
personal use through local shipping?

I asked this because I do not want to register myself as an importer and
do not want to study or deal with any paperworks related to imported
goods.

thanks in advance.

of course an information of companies that can give a good deal on
this business will be very appreciated.

A shipping agent can handle the paperwork, but if you want to find a
strawman to act as importer, you will have to convince him that you
can meet all the obligations relating to the import, and pay him a
good commission in addition.

Have you checked out that the company in China is not a scam?

Myoarin,

How would you go about checking if this company is not a scam?

There is no good way to judge a supplier in China a scam or not
because this is a skill to obtain in experience of doing business with
china
A professional importer based in US who have network may of help.
And vice versa Chinese supplier also has the worry if they are dealing
with scam company in USA.
As a Chineses Trading company and manufacture, what we do now is to do
credit investigation.We now have insurance company who do it for
us.Since our export amount is huge they do this for us for free.I do
not know if there is similar company in US, this is a option i would
like to say.
For Alibaba member i use it a lot, i would like to say it is useful
but not ensure the company not scam or something. Company pay money to
Alibaba and they post their information.
