What should you check with your supplier before importing?

Finding the perfect product and a supplier offering good prices is only the start of the import process. The success (and profitability) of an international transaction is decided during the negotiation stage, long before the goods are loaded onto a vessel, train, or aircraft.

Ambiguous communication with the factory can leave you with non-compliant goods, unexpected customs duties, or months of delay. Here is the list of the most important aspects you need to clarify with your supplier before striking a deal:

1. Delivery terms

2. European Union certifications and compliance

3. Payment terms and methods

4. Actual production lead time

5. Packaging specifications

6. Quality control

Sounds complicated? You do not have to do it alone.
A single detail omitted from the list above can translate into thousands of euros lost and months of stress. Importing is an extremely profitable business, provided the logistics and communication chain is seamlessly established.

Why risk your company's time and budget when you can let the experts manage the process?
