In the first few weeks, buyers move quickly to finalize suppliers, negotiate terms, and begin production. Without local support in China, this phase often leads to costly mistakes.
- Difficulty verifying supplier credibility
- Miscommunication due to language or cultural gaps
- Unclear production capabilities
- Hidden subcontracting or trading companies
- Delays in follow-ups and negotiations
For importers targeting markets like the US, EU, UK, and Australia, these issues can lead to delays, poor quality, and costly supplier mistakes.
