A quick guide to keep your sourcing on track. Stay on top of your import game with these simple but essential steps.

01

Define Your Product Specs Clearly

List exact details like size, material, color, quantity, and packaging. Clear specs help suppliers avoid missteps and save you time and cost.

Know Your Market’s Requirements

Check what certifications or standards your country needs — like CE, UL, FCC, etc. It avoids customs delays and builds buyer trust.

Ask for the Right HS Code

An accurate HS code affects your tax rate and clearance speed. Ask suppliers for suggestions and verify with your freight agent if needed.

Compare Air & Sea Freight Options

Air is fast but costly. Sea is cheaper but slower. Your decision should balance urgency, cargo volume, and budget.

Get Samples Before Production Starts

Never skip this. A sample helps confirm product quality and specs — and gives you leverage before placing a full order.

Clarify Payment & Risk Terms Upfront

Agree on payment terms, delivery schedules, and dispute resolution.
