Finding a trustworthy supplier

This is perhaps the most important step in your import business. A serious and dependable supplier minimizes any concerns on quality, trust and disputes.

There are a number of sourcing sites where you can find suppliers from massive directories.

State your requirements to suppliers clearly-like product warranty, key specifications and order terms. Alternatively, some suppliers will provide product samples if you ask, so you can first test them yourself. lf you’re happy with the quality of this sample shipment, you can order in bulk. lf possible, try and attend a sourcing fair to test samples free of charge. Most sourcing fairs are organized around themes like “Clothing & Garments” or “Electronics”, so buyers like you can meet all the specialized sellers of the produts you want.
