The step-by-step steps of importing goods from China include 6 main steps, each of which includes several parts:

1- Finding the required goods and products

2- Choosing a seller from among several companies

3- Sending performance and purchase contract

4- Sending currency remittance

5- Carrying goods

6- Goods clearance

Finding the product: The first step is to find the product you want to import. The vastness of China and the existence of thousands of companies and factories may confuse you in finding your product. Many fraudsters in China have set a trap for unsuspecting buyers and by offering unrealistic prices that are much lower than the real value of goods, they encourage customers to buy from them.

The product you want may be produced in several different cities in China at the same time.

It may be similar to your product or goods with different qualities even produced by the same manufacturer at the same time.

It is possible that if your product is raw materials (ingots and sheets) with different analysis and purity.

After validating various companies and manufacturers, Asia Trading Company Aria Mandage  requests samples from several suppliers at the same time, and after the samples arrive from China (usually, it takes 10 days) will provide you with samples so that you can choose to buy.

Selection of the seller: After searching for the product, the stage of choosing the seller is. Some sellers may be new to the market and others may have years of experience. Validation of the factory, manufacturer, company or supplier takes place in several stages.

The first step to receive a sample:
In the first step, we check the history of the Chinese company in terms of the duration of its activity, the status of the company in terms of ranking on B2B sites, the duration of the registration of the company’s website, the location of the company’s office, etc., and if To be approved, a sample is requested from the company.
The second stage and before signing the contract:
We have a contract with several inspection companies in China, and before signing the contract and buying, if you need, we can do a full inspection of the Chinese seller in several stages.
What is an inspection? Due to the high volume of violations and fraud in China and according to the needs of customers, inspection companies have been established in China, whose work is a complete and comprehensive examination of the Chinese seller company. You have chosen, with our coordination, the inspector will go to the Chinese seller company with an inspection permit and check all the official documents of the company, including the company’s establishment license, confirmation of bank accounts, warehouse, production hall, company office lease agreement, company employees, etc. Prepares and sends documents. Many Chinese companies and sites that you find on the Internet and sometimes give you very low prices, do not actually exist and do not have a specific office or company. In fact, they are a virtual name that intends to defraud buyers. This solves the problem of fraud to a large extent (but not 100%)

Sending proforma: Proforma or abbreviated PI means pre-invoice. Before sending the proforma invoice, the price and method of payment and delivery of the goods must be agreed upon.

Our company provides the best buying conditions for the respected importers by inquiring the price simultaneously from several Chinese sellers and discovering the lowest price and checking their sales conditions.

After agreeing on the price and terms of payment and delivery of goods, the proforma invoice is issued by the seller and must be signed by the parties.

Sending remittances: remittances to China are either in dollars (USD) or in yuan (RMB). The type of desired currency must be announced to the seller in order to adjust the proforma invoice based on it. Currently, the yuan remittance is more suitable in terms of price and fees.

Another of our services is the introduction of reliable exchanges to send remittances directly to China. In such a way that the remittance rates are the most appropriate price of the currency day with the lowest fee. Usually, after 2 working days, the money reaches the Chinese seller’s account.

Transportation of goods: Transportation of goods from China is carried out by air (partial) and sea (general).
If the goods are of high value or small volume, they are usually transported to Iran as cargo and by plane. One of the advantages of air transportation is the faster shipping speed compared to shipping goods by sea, which usually takes 7-10 working days. In this case, the shipping companies of our contracting party in China will receive your goods and deliver them to customs at Imam Khomeini Airport in Tehran.
For other goods that have a large volume and weight, use the sea and container method (20 feet or 40 feet). will be One of the most important agreements made with the seller before the purchase is the place of delivery of the purchased goods. Based on this, two types of prices are generally defined:
if the seller has added the cost of transporting the goods to the price of the goods sold and the place of delivery of the goods is one of the southern customs of the country (Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Khorramshahr or Ganaveh), in the term The seller’s price is called CIF.
If the agreed delivery price is in one of the Chinese ports (Dalian, Qingdao, Shanghai, Shenzhen, etc.), it is called FOB seller’s price, in which case measures must be taken to transport the goods. Our company cooperates with several shipping companies and makes all necessary arrangements for shipment from Chinese ports by ship and delivery of goods in one of the southern ports of the country.

Clearance: The last stage of import is clearance. Clearance is the most specialized part of the work. For clearance, order registration must be done at the same time as receiving the proforma invoice and signing the contract. Order registration in the customs system also requires a business card.
Some of the imported goods are subject to obtaining the mandatory standard, and at the same time as they are unloaded at the port and customs, the product sample must be sent to the laboratory to obtain the standard.
For some imported goods, necessary permits must be obtained from some institutions. For example, some electronic devices require permission from the Radio Regulations Organization to enter.
All clearance steps from order registration with commercial card, sending to the laboratory and receiving the necessary standards and permits (if needed) are done by our company.
