What is the process of selling products internationally?

Many of the large established maunfactures attend trade shows, such as the Canton Import and Export Fair. The key is to look for manufactures that already supplies to established brands. Once the manufacture meets the QA standards of the large brands, their quality remains consistent regardless of the company they produce for. Most of the time the minimum order quantity they request are up for negotiation. Same for the sampling cost. Most manufactures are willing to wave the sampling cost if a production order is placed at a later time. Sourcing at the end of the day requires a lot of ground work. It takes time and effort to locate the right suppliers, visit and audit their facilities, and prices negotiate. However, this really saves money in the long term because you will have solid supply chains you can count on and trust. One way to approach this is to consolidate. Consolidate the number of suppliers, and make each sourcing trip count by finding multiple suppliers at once. Best of luck in finding the right suppliers for your products!

Message me, I live in Shanghai, China.. If I understand better maybe I can assist you.

MOQs MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) is not a new concept; it has a high success rate and various implementations the most common being regulatory agency restrictions, which have to do with import/exports, good sold etc. Additionally, no manufacturer can sell at cost (no markup) and remain in business. There are always “costs” with any goods/services sold. I hope my broad-stroke response has provided you some clarity. I am happy to assist with specifics via phone consultation.

Hello. I hope you are doing well! Are you trying to get your products into the EU through Croatia? Are you producing anything or only trading? Based on the information you provided, I would try contacting the local authorities or customs, you will have different fares depending on the direction of the shipment. Hope my answer was helpful, kind regards, Ignacio.

Hi: Sounds cool. Not clear on your target export markets, but some things to consider: 1. Identify your optimal customer and the problem you're resolving for that customer. Quality? Cost? Availability? 2. Research the pathways your product has to get into that optimal customer's hands. Wholesalers/distributors exist across the food business (at least in the US), so they would be a must for this market. Furthermore, how does the end-buyer actually purchase goods like yours? There will be differences between a retail buyer and an institutional buyer. 3. Develop a promotional plan for each of those targeted audiences based on standard approaches, which might include trade shows, personal pitches, in-store demonstrations. If you wish to discuss, send me a PM through Clarity for 15 free minutes. Cheers, Kerby
