Why Independent Importers Make Expensive First-Timer Mistakes
Common Pitfalls & Obstacles
- ✕Unrealistic Landed Cost Calculations: Estimating landed costs solely on FOB price without factoring in 10% SWS, port carting, and domestic logistics.
- ✕Regulatory Seizures: Placing mass orders for products that require mandatory BIS licenses, EPR registrations, or Legal Metrology approvals.
- ✕Choosing the Wrong Sourcing Hub: Visiting Yiwu for heavy industrial machinery, or visiting Canton Fair Phase 1 for fashion textiles.
- ✕Unbalanced Payment Terms: Wiring 100% advance payments without milestone-based inspection clauses.
