What are the risks?
By nature, cross-border deals carry higher risks than domestic commerce. In China in particular, it is remarkable the number of cases of dubious business ethics and not a few the victims of scams.
Defective merchandise, getting the wrong product or the wrong color, a production delay, or even a lack of delivery are frequent vicissitudes when dealing with Chinese suppliers. References from well known business to business sites can be easily manipulated, and a supplier with a successful track-record can be easily tempted to save some money in the product's components.
Selling in China exposes to copycat your company's trademark and industrial designs. It may also happen that, after the goods have been shipped already, the client decides not to perform customs clearance if, for example, the price of the merchandise has fallen from the operation closing and is no longer interested in acquiring it.
How to cut on risk?
Avoiding those problems requires a proactive and on site verification of Chinese companies, ongoing monitoring and communication with suppliers and clients, as well as other safeguards that are easily made from an office in China.
Doing Business in China is worth the effort?
Achieving the proper price-quality balance is every buyer's goal. Finding inexpensive Chinese stuff is the easiest part. However, to combine low prices with reasonable quality and timely delivery is a challenging job. When business volume justifies it, we can assist you in opening your own office in China. Otherwise, it may be more convenient to hire us as your purchasing agent.
On the other hand, it is public knowledge China's growing upper class interest for western's luxury products. Service industries, especially finance, logistics or insurance, offer great opportunities as well.
The emergence of the current global economic crisis has rushed all developed countries to get a piece of cake. Postponing the decision involves a very high risk to miss the China Train.
Do I need someone to do the work of sourcing for me?
The world's largest manufacturers think so. Large companies have either their own team or external sourcing agents based in China.
Only an expert team located in China can do the continual monitoring necessary to ensure timely delivery and good quality.
Why should we work with China to World rather than directly by ourselves?
It is a matter of saving time, money and peace of mind. If you have read this far, you probably are aware of the issues and difficulties that involve doing business in China. If you can benefit from China's potential for business and minimizing the risks, why not?
