This is requested many times in the past. If it is possible, it should have been implemented long time ago. The reason is because products have different shipping cost to different countries. The shipping cost is only known when a product is added to cart with its delivery address. There is no way shipping cost is known during import of the product.

I don't see how a country can be selected in the product page. When a product is added to cart, the destination country will be added also, that is the ONLY time shipping cost will be known according to the destination country. It is very clear. If you don't understand it, I don't believe you will understand further explanation.
you have to get a special plugin for that called alishipping. it does the work for you.. The original plugin doesnt have that exclusive feature.
asides using the product filters in aliexpress, this situation isnt possible,Once you import the product, alishipping will import all shipping methods for you. probably you can directly suggest this non-existing feature to the support team

Even with that add-on, shipping cost is only known when a product is added to cart. There is no way shipping cost is known without shipping destination country, much less during import of the product.

Alishipping will import all shipping methods of AliExpress. But the add-on will apply shipping methods only when there is a destination country, and that is when a product is added to cart.
ofcouse.. i wasn't disputing this fact though... Although one could also Calculate shipping methods directly from the product page by downloading the woo Shipping calculator plugin which works fine with alishipping. Its shortcode can be added to the product page. that is for those using alidropship woo

I haven't tried that plugin, but I believe it can only calculate if there is shipping destination country. If there is not, what would be the basis of the calculation?

Is connected with aliexpress shipping method?
And if yes how is know to which product is will apply the shipping method if not the one bring it in the site first?

Yes, that is the shipping destination country in AliExpress product page and that is the basis of shipping cost even without adding the product to cart. That is in AliExpress, not in our stores. During the beta test of Shipping Product AliExpress add-on, I suggested to have it, but for technical reason the team cannot add it. So again, shipping cost will be known only with shipping destination country selected. In our store, you have to add the product to cart.isn't that called a shipping destination country?
you can simply find it on code canyon

As you can see from my site, it displays alishipping methods because its as been saved as default shipping method on woocommerce settings.. So it easily displays shipping method for selected countries.. Note that this plugin works for only those using alidropshipwoo.

NOPE.. it does it for every product page(which is its primary responsibility).. nevertheless, you can as well add the shortcode to any other pages as its one of the feature..
.. its easy to customize as well..It will take the shipping price from aliexpress if you have alishipping add-on installed and set as the default shipping method in woocommerce.. Else, it automatically displays the default shipping price for each products you set on woo-commerce. In summary,it displays whatever shipping price you set as default
