If you are looking for a company to import from China, there are a number of key factors to consider to ensure that you are selecting the right company. The following are some of the most important features that an import consultancy from China to other countries should have:
– He does not work for free. The only companies willing to make arrangements and searches free of charge are those that have just started or are in great need of work. This is a sign of lack of professionalism and we should not place our trust in this type of company.
– It is advisable to have a warehouse in the office or very close to it.
– Must have both Western and Chinese staff to be able to communicate with customers and suppliers alike.
– Staff must speak several languages, at least Chinese, English and Spanish.
– The service must be well separated from the product, although sometimes part of the payment can be negotiated with a commission. Companies that work exclusively on commission should not be called consultancies but brokers or intermediaries.
– A China import consultancy must be transparent. If we are never allowed to talk to the supplier or forwarder directly, it is likely that the company is charging hidden commissions and we are not aware of it.
– The company must have a physical office in China.
– For a complete service, you should ideally have a company in China and not only in Hong Kong. This is unusual but gives much greater flexibility.
If you are looking for a China import consultancy that is transparent, with service in English, reliable, quality and with all the above mentioned characteristics, please contact us.
