By Walter Scheu @ Associated Content
Reprinted
from http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/188062/7_secret_questions_about_importing.html
Q. How much does it cost
to start, Importing from China?
A. That question can only determined
by you. Our thinking was we came up with an amount of
money; we could live without if we lost it. I was also
instructed by my bride that if this did not work, and/or
we could not resell the items I would get a part-time
job, to replace the money.
Q. What is the general quality of the items
shipped, when Importing from China?
A. Items are generally in "NEW"
condition unless otherwise stated (for example, if you
are buying refurbished good). They should come to you
in new in the box condition. If there are damaged goods
you need to talk to your customs broker to see what
your options are.
Q. Is there anyway to reduce
shipping costs, of Goods when Importing From China?
A. Yes, you can seek out the lowest
cost for getting your goods to where you want them.
Check with the customs broker, and they an often find
the lowest shipping rate. Also, your sellers usually
have agreements with freight forwarders, and can get
a cheap rate due to the volume of goods they ship.
Q. What is the average profit
margin?
A. This can be determined after you
have defined the gross cost per item, and the estimated
gross sale price. Do not forget to calculate the fees
involved in the selling of your goods (for example,
eBay and Paypal fees) Q. Must I convert my money to
the currency of the other country, or China, when I
import from China? A. No the bank which handles the
money for the sellers firm will do whatever needs to
be done on their end. The dollar is still accepted all
over the world.
Q. How Do I avoid problems
with customs, when I import from China?
A. Customs brokers are authorized to
work for importers, by and through the U.S. Customs.
They will make sure you do not have any problems with
customs. In the highly unlikely event there is a problem
they will help you fix it or they will fix it for you.
Q. Can you use a site like
.alibaba.com, google, yahoo, etc, when Importing from
China?
A. Yes this is a very good search and
contact sites, plus they have alot of firms from China,
and countries you can import from.

WHAT IS IMPORT?
An import is any good or commodity, brought into one
country from another country in a legal fashion, typically
for use in trade. Foreign producers provide import goods
or services to domestic consumers. Import of commercial
quantities of goods usually requires concern of the
Customs authorities in both the country of import and
the country of export. With the globalization of a trade
and commerce & an economy consequent upon comfortable
balance of payment position has liberalized the Import
Policy and practically all Controls on imports have
been lifted. Imports may be made freely except to the
extent they are regulated by the provisions of Import
Policy or by any other law for the time being in force.
Certain
import procedures have to be followed for (IMPORT) the
purpose of clearing goods to be imported. These procedures
have been discussed below.
The person in-charge of a vessel, ship or aircraft entering
India must call or land only at a Customs Port or a
Customs Airport only. It may call or land at any other
place only if compelled by accident, bad weather or
due to some genuine unavoidable reason. In such a case,
he must report to the nearest police station or custom
officer of such emergency arrival.
The
person in-charge of importing vessel, ship, aircraft
or vehicle must submit within 24 hours after arrival
at a Customs Area an Import Manifest or Import Report
in the prescribed form in duplicate. This will give
details of the import cargo to be unloaded, unaccompanied
baggage, goods to be transshipped, retention cargo,
details such as general declaration about the conveyance,
stores on the conveyance, private property in possession
of the Captain of the aircraft or Master of the ship
and other members of crews and Passenger Manifest. Separate
declaration, of the import contents, has to be given
in respect of goods like arms, explosives, narcotics,
dangerous drugs, gold and silver. The Import Manifest
may be amended only with permission if there was no
fraudulent intention. This report is not required if
the conveyance is carrying only luggage of its occupants.
Sometimes, filing of the Import Manifest is allowed
before the arrival of the vessel by the Steamer Agents.
This enables the import/importers to clear the import/imported
goods quickly. If on the face of things, everything
is found to be in order and berthing accommodation is
available to the ship, the Customs Officer grants Entry
Inwards. Unloading of cargo can start only after such
order is made.
This
is a lot of work. Filling out import documentation,
going through all the formalities, etc. Not to mention
that to import goods can be extremely frustrating. So
what is a person to do if they want to import and sell
the imports? Well you can find, we feel, the answer
to this and many other questions.

International
Trade Sites for the Small Business Owner
Gueriila Style
By Allen Redwing
Reprinted from: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/20608/international_trade_sites_for_the_small.html
For those starting a small business
in retail, wholesale trade, flea markets, swapmeets,
auctions, there are many local and international suppliers
available to buy products from for resale and even more
internet sites one can find. However, more often than
not, one must be willing to invest hundreds of hours
of internet or sourcing magazine research and often
live sleepless nights if you don't have an army of personnel
at your disposal in order to find reliable and affordable
suppliers. Through my own sleepless nights and hundreds
of research hours I've developed a small, practicable
system any small business owner, average consumer, wholesale,
or webstore own can utilize in order to reduce the time
invested, stress, and redunancy that comes with the
tasks.
Many internet sites are available to those looking to
get into trade or consumer product sales. Websites such
as: www.globalsources, www.tradeeasy.com, www.fuzing.com,
www.aliababa.com. And while these sites are excellent
for big time procurement managers for chains like Walmart,
to the new small business owner that can be as overwhelming
as they are time consuming. All of these sites require
some form of user profile registeration and though they
give you access to millions of suppliers around the
world, shifting through this mass amount of information
kills precious time... time you and I don't have.
In order to ensure a successful small,
supplier sourcing program, the first thing it takes
is preparation.
By preparation, I mean start by identifying the specifics
items you would like to sell. Shoes, Handbags, Computers
etc.
The second thing you need is a great
communications methodology. Many suppliers around the
world utilize different methods and modes of communication.
Different words mean different things. Clarification
is always necessary when dealing with international
suppliers. Often, suppliers are excellent in manufacturing
but their communications is not always Harvard quality.
You should develop template word documents for yourself
with your company's header and contact information (optional)
in order to send to pre-screen suppliers from international
supplier databases you have choosen.
Thirdly, you should develop a documentation
kit for your yourself. I define a documenation kit as
a consolidation the hundreds or thousands of emails,
text messages, IM messages and writen correspondance
you have with a supplier into a terse, well-written,
one page summary of your business development plans
with them.
Many small business owners in retail
and wholesale trade are inundated decisions about what
to buy, what are the hottest fashion trends, the top
products for the year.
Two ways: Online line forms. Emailing each supplier.
1. Ideal Supplier Communications methodology
2. Documentation Kits Contents
1.
Database of Suppliers ( I use access).
2. Word Document
3. Ebayers
4. Online auctioneers.

International
Dialing Codes
Country
Code
The
country code is the national prefix to be used when
dialing TO that particular country FROM another
country. In some cases you will also need to dial
a city or area code. When a country name appears
in the table as a link, there will be additional
information regarding city or area codes.
IDD
Prefix (International Direct Dialing)
The
IDD prefix is the international prefix needed to
dial a call FROM the country listed TO another country.
This is followed by the country code for the country
you are calling (see above). The IDD situation in
many countries has been changing regularly.
Some countries have multiple IDDs, with each one
used by a different long-distance carrier.
NDD
Prefix (National Direct Dialing)
The
NDD prefix is the access code used to make a call
WITHIN that country from one city to another (when
calling another city in the same vicinity, this
may not be necessary). The NDD is followed
by the city/area code for the place you are calling
(city/area codes, where applicable, can be viewed
by following the link from the country name on the
table below). Phone numbers are often
written in this format: +44-(0)1224-XXXX-XXXX.
This expresses the numbers used for both international
and national long-distance calls. In the example,
+44 indicates the country code, while (0) indicates
the NDD. When dialing from outside the country,
the NDD would not be used after dialing the country
code; when dialing from within that country, the
NDD would be used, but the country code would not.
NOTE: All city/area codes used on this site
are expressed for use in international calling;
for national calls, prefix the area/city code with
the NDD.

If
you're trying to find the country of origin for
an international phone number, you can look it up
