On the one hand, China is the world's largest exporter of goods. On the other hand, newcomers to the trade often find themselves in complex situations when ordering goods from China to Ukraine, risking losing money. Therefore, before diving into the world of international trade operations, we suggest examining the potential risks of cooperation with China.
When importing goods from China to Ukraine, there is a risk of encountering fraudsters who provide false information about the quality of the goods, prices, or payment terms. Scammers skillfully use payment schemes. For example, they may inform you of a supposed change in bank account details and suggest transferring money directly to their company's account.
To avoid failures in working with China, verify manufacturers and only enter into agreements with reliable suppliers. Avoid direct bank transfers and be especially vigilant when processing payments.
When ordering goods wholesale from China from an unverified supplier, entrepreneurs may receive a batch of low-quality or defective goods. Defective goods will always differ from the samples of the products sent for initial review.
Want to avoid defects when ordering from Chinese websites? Thorough control of the production process and entering into agreements with a partner who guarantees the quality of the entire batch of goods will help here.
To detect deviations in product quality in advance, you can order a product inspection service in China. This allows you to check the cargo while it is still at the Chinese warehouse and identify defects before the cargo reaches you. We wrote more about how to check the reliability of the supplier and the quality of the product in this article.
Lack of goods is a typical problem when doing business with China without prior market research
Logistics is a complex, labor-intensive, and multi-stage process. Delivery times from China may be delayed due to various factors such as weather conditions, transportation issues, and customs barriers.
So if you need delivery of large volumes of goods from scratch, it is better to turn to a specialized logistics company. A team of qualified specialists will organize efficient and timely delivery of orders from China, reducing the risk of delays.
To reduce the risks of delivery delays, cooperate with proven logisticians
Customs issues can affect the process and cost of import. For example, ignorance of the rules for transporting souvenirs made of precious materials results in a sky-high delivery price and nullifies the benefit of doing business with China.
To avoid losing money and time, study customs tariffs, import and export rules. Find a reliable and qualified local supplier who does not hide the legal nuances of the order. You may also need a lawyer to prepare documents or conduct negotiations.
The general strategy for reducing risks when importing from China is thorough planning, using trusted suppliers, and checking the quality of goods. Difreight - import experts.
