Imports from China by commodity group

If you intend to engage in long-term, stable, and secure trade for importing goods from China and need to cooperate with an Iranian-Chinese company that has offices in both China and Iran and holds a reputable background, the company must be one that protects the financial interests and legal rights of the buyer in China.

Since China is a vast and extensive country, international trade contracts involving foreign individuals and companies are not given significant importance, and therefore, legal actions cannot be pursued through the embassy or within China if an issue arises.

Additionally, familiarity with the relevant market, proficiency in key areas such as the Chinese language, knowledge of trade laws and regulations, the import process, and other related matters is essential for any merchant intending to import goods.

Engaging in an international business transaction, where the buyer and seller are located in two different countries and naturally deal with two distinct methods and cultures of trade, along with differing administrative and legal regulations governing each party, seems complex and inherently risky. If the buyer and seller do not use a common language to clarify the concepts and terms of the transaction, the scope of potential legal disputes and problems will be vast.

This situation, in addition to wasting time and financial resources on both sides, will also minimize mutual trust, which is one of the most crucial conditions of trade. Generally, after the initial agreements are made, the seller issues a proforma invoice containing the details of these agreements, including the parties’ information, their responsibilities, and other related aspects.

If the transaction is conducted according to the agreed terms, there will be no problem. However, as soon as there is an issue or delay in fulfilling the obligations, the importance and application of the terms or phrases used in the contract or proforma become clear. Before issuing the proforma, the parties may also sign a separate contract.

One very important aspect of any international purchase and sale agreement is the mutual agreements regarding the obligations and responsibilities of the buyer and seller, including the delivery point, the division of costs, and potential risks. Incoterms has established rules for these aspects so that the parties can engage in the international transaction with greater awareness.

Today, Incoterms rules are a fundamental element of international transactions because they define and clarify the duties and responsibilities of the parties in relation to the delivery of goods, transportation, customs clearance at the origin and destination, and the allocation of costs and risks.

Steps to Import Goods from China in Simple Language

If you intend to engage in long-term, stable, and secure trade for importing goods from China and need to cooperate with an Iranian-Chinese company that has offices in both China and Iran and holds a reputable background, the company must be one that protects the financial interests and legal rights of the buyer in China.

Since China is a vast and extensive country, international trade contracts involving foreign individuals and companies are not given significant attention, and therefore, legal actions cannot be pursued through the embassy or within China if an issue arises.

Additionally, familiarity with the relevant market, proficiency in key areas such as the Chinese language, knowledge of trade laws and regulations, the import process, and other related matters is essential for any merchant intending to import goods.

For this reason, this company, with its headquarters in Iran (Tehran) and a trading office in China (Guangzhou) for 10 years, as well as Iranian staff proficient in the language and business culture in China, first identifies the imported product and then proceeds with sourcing sellers or manufacturers of your goods. After obtaining price quotes, the company evaluates and verifies the legal standing of the chosen company, as price alone is not the only criterion. The main factors, in addition to price, are credibility, quality, and adherence to contractual obligations. Furthermore, a commercial contract will be signed within China with the seller, ensuring the protection of the buyer’s financial and legal interests.

Once the product type is determined and the reliability of the seller is confirmed with the importer, the company sends one of its staff members from the Guangzhou office to sign the internal contract with the seller or manufacturer. Subsequently, the down payment is made to the relevant company through this organization.

Average Time for Product Readiness for Inspection

Typically, based on the type of requested product, after the down payment is made to the seller or manufacturer’s account, machinery takes 45 days, molds take 2 months, and goods are ready in approximately 25 days. Once the products are ready, the company’s inspector visits the seller’s company to check the quantity and quality of the goods. After ensuring the products meet the required standards, the remaining payment is made to the respective company, and the loading process begins.

Import Problems from China
