    If you actually want to buy a significant quantity of a product like that from overseas (which I’m assuming because you mention a ship load) you’ll need to find and contact an appropriate supplier and agree terms, which will probably involve them supplying the goods ‘free on board’ meaning they’ll deliver to a port or ship and it’s your responsibility from there. Then you need to contact a shipping company to arrange the actual transport. You’ll also need to liaise with the customs departments of both the source and destination countries to get the paperwork in order. If you can find an importer in your target country, you might be able to agree terms with them and have them handle all of that. Then you’ve judt got to get it from the port to where you need it.

      Or they can work with a local supplier who handles acquireing and shipping to you. Less expensive unless your amazon, too.
