This

take 1-3 days to reach their destination. Cargo shipped by sea
takes significantly longer, with the actual times varying depending

Taiwan: 9 days

These times are approximate and vary upwards or downwards depending
upon the destination with each country or region. These times

Q:
|
Who
pays for the shipping costs? |
| |
A:
|
The
cost of shipping goods is decided on and written into the contract
signed by the seller and buyer. It is common to have either
party responsible for the transportations costs, although if
the exporter is paying for the shipping, the costs will be passed
along to buyer through higher priced goods. |
