Risk Management and Compliance Recommendations
Quality risk prevention
- Require suppliers to provide third-party test reports
- Set arrival quality inspection standards
- Establish supplier quality traceability system
Trade compliance key points
- Ensure products comply with RoHS directive requirements
- Verify supplier export control compliance
- Maintain complete trade transaction records
Payment method selection
It is recommended to use L/C (Letter of Credit) or D/P (Documents against Payment) methods, especially when cooperating with new suppliers. For long-term cooperative high-quality suppliers, T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) can be considered.
Practical experience sharing
Case: An electronics manufacturer imported a batch of high-precision resistors through our agency using CIF terms. By pre-reviewing customs documents and scheduling inspections in advance, we reduced clearance time from the standard 5 days to 3 days, saving approximately 15% in warehousing costs.
Recommendation: Establish a complete import agency file including supplier information, customs records, quality inspection reports, etc., to facilitate traceability and data analysis, providing support for future procurement decisions.
