Import From China With Confidence

China is the factory to the world. When you import from China expect at least a 30% discount on your goods compared to having them manufactured almost anywhere else. Can you afford not to import from China?
Before you import from China ask yourself these questions:

• Do cultural factors have a significant influence on business in China?
• Are there other influential factors?

Culture sways the import business because it influences the way people make decisions. Still, there are international rules used all over the world to grease the wheels of the import industry.

A few things to know before you import from China

1. Learn a few basic rules, e.g. how to present and receive business cards, how not to use your chopsticks, etc.

2. Communication is a challenge in the import business. When the Chinese nod their head it isn’t a sign they agree with you.

3. Losing face for the Chinese is unbearable. A few things to avoid in the import business are aggressiveness and rudeness.

4. Create a sense of friendship and reciprocity with your import partner. Traditionally, the system of "guanxi" - personal connections, remains the basis of all business, political, and social conduct in China. Without quanxi your import business will struggle.

5. Finally, try to learn a bit about Chinese history, art, and contemporary issues, without being judgmental about it. The Chinese are very proud of their country and appreciate a genuine interest in it.
