@ndukaudeh: If you are going to the Canton Fair in China, protect your money before you start buying. It is very easy to get excited when you enter the fair. You will see thousands of products. You will meet many suppliers. You will hear prices that look very attractive. But finding a product is only the beginning. There are 5 decisions I believe every Nigerian business owner should make carefully when sourcing from China. 1. Choose where to buy. The first supplier you meet may not be the best place to buy. 2. Choose the right supplier. Don't look at price alone. Know who you are giving your money to. 3. Define your quality before negotiating. If you don't agree on the exact specifications, you may negotiate a lower price and end up with a cheaper product. 4. Check your goods before they leave China. Don't wait until the goods arrive in Nigeria before discovering that something is wrong. 5. Know your delivery cost. A product can look cheap in China until you calculate what it will actually cost to get it to Nigeria. I have said this many times: the lowest price is not always the best deal. This is also why we have our AfricanIES team on the ground in China, helping Nigerian businesses source, verify suppliers, procure, inspect, and ship their goods back home. If you are going to the Canton Fair, or you are already sourcing from China, what product are you looking for? Tell me the product and the challenge you are facing in the comment section. I will be reading. #NdukaUdeh #CantonFair #ImportFromChina #ChinaBusiness #AfricanIES
