What to pay attention to when making your first foreign trade order

The success or failure of your first order rarely depends on memorizing all the Incoterms, but on whether you are talking to a real store or importer that sells this kind of goods. Only by finding the right target will the terms fall into place.

Check list before placing an order

  1. Object: Verify company, the phone official website points to the same name.
  2. Matching: confirm the category on the official website or call, instead of just looking at the store name.
  3. Samples: Send with complete address and person in charge.
  4. On paper: Quotation, Collection, Terms are written in the same set of documents.

The list comes from Search by product and city, which is more traceable than asking for a "US customer" from the chat group.

Don’t test all markets at the same time for your first order

One city and one channel are connected, and then copied to the next city. For SOHO rhythm, see How to place an order. Certification and labeling are prepared according to the country of destination, and tools do not replace testing.
