Purchase goods
abroad

We help buy goods from an overseas seller for yourself or your business: review the order, agree the terms and show the estimate before payment.

You choose the product; we manage the transaction with the seller

Purchasing works for a single item, a sample or a business batch when you need a clear process for buying from an overseas seller. You do not need to gather every document in advance: start with a link or product description.

A standard purchase includes one seller, up to 10 agreed items and one planned shipment. For a different scope, we agree the work, full price and timeframe in advance.

  • Review the order before payment

    We clarify the product, availability, seller terms, invoice and whether the purchase can be delivered to the chosen address. If the scenario does not work, we tell you before payment.

  • Agree the invoice and payment

    We agree the invoice and payment to the seller, stay in contact about the order and provide status updates. In a standard purchase, payment of the same invoice is already included in the fee.

  • You choose the product and budget

    You choose the model, quantity and purchasing terms and set the budget. Before payment, we show the estimate and agree what OZTA will handle.

  • Agree additional work in advance

    If you need supplier sourcing, quality checks, samples, transport, storage or clearance, we first agree the work, price and terms.

How purchasing works

We start with the product and task, not a form. Before each next stage, you know what has been checked, what it costs and what decision is required.

If the seller, payment method or route is unsuitable, we will tell you before payment. For an order outside the standard scope, we agree the work, full price and timeframe in advance.

  1. Define the task

    We confirm the model, option, quantity, seller price and destination. If there is a deadline or requirements for quality, packaging or documents, we include them from the start.

  2. Check the order with the seller

    We clarify availability, company and payment details, purchasing terms, the invoice and required confirmations. If the seller does not accept this scenario or the product cannot be shipped to the chosen address, we tell you before payment.

  3. Agree the estimate and terms

    We show the product price, seller delivery to the first OZTA warehouse, fee and further costs for your order separately. We mark confirmed amounts and preliminary estimates: transport may be updated after weighing and measuring. Before the relevant stage, we agree the calculation method, spending limit, cancellation and refund.

  4. Complete the agreed stage

    After you confirm and pay for the agreed stage, we organise the purchase and communicate with the seller. We send updates through your chosen channel and prepare a report on the work completed. New terms, product replacements and additional costs are agreed before implementation.

How to calculate the purchase-on-behalf fee

We use the agreed goods price from the seller and apply the rate from the table. Delivery is not part of the fee calculation.

Rate by product price

Minimum OZTA purchasing fee: $20

Less than $1,000
10%
From $1,000, but less than $5,000
9%
From $5,000, but less than $10,000
8%
From $10,000, but less than $20,000
7%
From $20,000
6%

The minimum OZTA purchasing fee is $20. For example: goods at $50 + fee of $20 = $70, excluding delivery, import costs, insurance and bank costs.

Fee calculation example

Seller's goods price
$2 000
OZTA fee
$180
$2 000 × 9% = $180
Goods + fee
$2 180

This covers only the goods and fee. Seller delivery and onward freight, import charges, insurance, banking and foreign-exchange costs are separate.

What the fee includes

  • One seller, up to 10 agreed items and one planned shipment.
  • Checking company and payment details and purchasing terms, and agreeing the seller’s invoice.
  • Payment of the seller’s invoice is already included in the fee; we do not charge a second percentage for it.
  • Seller communication, order statuses and OZTA report.

What is paid separately

  • Seller delivery to our warehouse and onward transport.
  • Import charges, insurance and warehouse operations, when needed.
  • Bank and foreign-exchange costs, and any additional work after agreement.

What to send for an estimate

Send what you already have. Not every product can be purchased and shipped to every address; we check feasibility, documents, timing and refunds with the seller and route before payment.

Get a purchase estimate
  • Link, item number or description; size, colour and quantity
  • Seller contact and price, if known
  • Delivery country and city; marketplace warehouse address if buying for resale
  • Whether you need a sample, photos, measurements or a separate quality check
  • Available documents and packaging or deadline preferences can be added later

What is important to know before ordering

How much does purchasing cost?

We choose a rate from 10% to 6% based on the agreed goods price after discounts and apply it to that full price. The minimum OZTA purchasing fee is $20 when the purchase price is above zero. In a standard purchase, payment of the same invoice is already included in the fee; we list seller delivery, onward transport, import charges, insurance and bank costs separately where they apply.

How do I place my first order?

Send a link or product description, quantity and delivery city. We will contact you through your chosen channel, clarify the details and give an estimated response time after the initial review. Before payment for the relevant stage, we agree the estimate, documents and payment details. We begin after you agree and funds arrive for that stage.

Can orders from several suppliers be combined into one shipment?

Consolidation is possible if the suppliers, goods, packaging, documents and facility are compatible. Before combining, we check warehouse receiving, labelling, storage times, freight and the customs arrangement; we do not promise savings in advance.

How quickly does OZTA settle with the supplier?

The timing depends on the supplier, available payment channel, currency, bank processing time, checks and document readiness. We agree the transaction feasibility and confirmation format before payment. After the initial review, we give an estimated response time for your enquiry.

What if the supplier refuses to sell through an intermediary?

This may happen because of platform, brand, country, intended use or seller rules. We clarify the permitted buyer role and do not present an intermediary arrangement as an ordinary transaction; if the supplier or payment channel does not accept the scenario, we tell you.

Can OZTA purchase goods for Ozon, Wildberries or Kaspi?

For a marketplace delivery, the enquiry should include the item number, quantity, destination warehouse and labelling, packaging and document requirements. We check available operations and the parties’ responsibilities; quality control, preparation and delivery are included only after confirmation.

What does a photo report look like and when will I receive it?

If a separate quality check or photo report is needed, we agree the programme, contractor, price and timeframe before ordering. We can check general appearance, packaging, labelling, visible defects, completeness or measurements within the capabilities for the specific product.

Can the product be stored in a warehouse?

We confirm storage availability, facility, period, rate and responsibility for the specific product and route. If storage changes the estimate or timing, we agree it before the next action.

What does OZTA guarantee, and what happens if something goes wrong?

The order records the product, scope of work, cancellation and refund terms, and actions in case of discrepancies. If a problem arises, we explain what happened and what options are available under the seller’s terms and order documents. We agree any new cost or replacement with you. A refund depends on completed stages and applicable terms, so we do not promise a universal amount or crediting time.

Can I order one item for myself?

You can contact us about one item or a small batch. The seller sets the minimum quantity; OZTA’s minimum purchasing fee is $20. A standard order includes one seller, up to 10 agreed items and one planned shipment. We check whether purchase and delivery are possible from the link and address.

How do I calculate the total purchasing cost?

If the product costs $1,000, the rate is 9%, so the OZTA fee is $90. Seller delivery to the warehouse, for example $100, is shown separately and does not change the fee. Onward transport, import costs, insurance and bank costs are also calculated separately when applicable.

How do I start purchasing through OZTA? Step by step.

1) Send the link or item number, quantity, country and intended use. 2) We check the seller and purchasing feasibility and clarify documents for the product and route. 3) We agree the estimate, required checks, cancellation and refund. 4) After you confirm and pay for the relevant stage, we complete the agreed actions and provide a status update.
