Innovation
For us, innovation is the key to
success in an ever-changing market.
Recent years have seen major
transformations in global trade, but
Global Sources has always kept
us ahead of the curve. That was
true when they pioneered the use
of internet for marketing and it is
true today as they help us explore
emerging markets. One thing has
remained unchanged: our joint
determination to create win-win
results over 17 years of cooperation.

Top trends
Recycled fabrics: Garment-use recycled textiles from China adopt regenerated
fibers from old clothes, typically cotton or polyester. These are reprocessed
and may be blended with virgin fabrics. Some denim makers combine reused
and new cotton. Suppliers likewise utilize PET bottles to produce RPET yarns.
Nonwoven shopping bags, umbrellas, tents and bag lining are among the
applications.

advice at our online information hub.

Natural textiles: Organic fibers are often adopted for their improved
breathability, drape, softness, moisture absorption and anti-pilling properties.
Modal, Tencel and bamboo fibers are popular.
Largest producer: China yields an average of 4 million tons of RPET fibers
annually, accounting for 80 percent of the worlds total. These, however, are
not suitable for apparel. Currently, creating RPET yarns that can be used for
garments is the main R&D thrust for most makers.

Sourcing Update: India organic cotton baby clothing

Eco, skin-friendly line


poised to take off
Use of the skin-safe material on rompers, frocks, body suits,
dresses and T-shirts is increasing.
Organic cotton baby clothing from India is set for growth
as more suppliers, pulled in by rising demand, join the
line. The current manufacturing base consists of 25 to
30 companies, most of which are small and midsize.
Small factories can turn out 10,000 pieces every month.
The few large operations have a monthly capacity of
100,000 pieces.
Organic cotton, having been grown without synthetic
agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides,
is gaining popularity for its skin-friendly properties.
The material is softer, more breathable and moistureabsorbent, and has a better sheen. It does not pill nor
bleed. All these properties make organic cotton 30 to 40
percent more expensive than conventional cotton.
Raw organic cotton is sourced from Gujarat-based
certified vendors that conform to GOTS farming
requirements. The fiber is sent to Tirupur for ginning,
spinning, knitting and weaving.
To take the lines green aspect a step further, suppliers
adopt environment-friendly production processes. The
steps are certified by GOTS and include the use of
natural dyes derived from plants, fruits and nuts, some of
which are medicinal. Turmeric is an example of the last.
Both Organic & More and Organic Clothing India use
low-impact dyes. Pigment adopted by Organic & More,
a division of Net Paradigm, is reactive. The maker has
GOTS and SEDEX certification.
Organic Clothing India, meanwhile, utilizes dyes in
varying shades of brown, tan, red, green and indigo. The
company is certified to GOTS and ETKO, and complies
with requirements of OE Blended, OE 100 and SKAL.
Organic poplin, muslin, cambric and denim are used in

Edit: Sourcing Update: Organic cotton baby clothing

summer clothing such as frocks, rompers, tank dresses,


undershirts, kimono bodysuits and night suits. Fleece,
duck and corduroy are adopted in body suits with full
sleeves and feet, and hooded kimonos.
Prices depend on the cost of certification, yarn, dyeing
and printing. Dyeing adds about $0.20 to quotes and
printing, $0.20 to $0.30. Organic dyeing is about double
the cost of the conventional method.
The low-end includes half rompers, sleeveless tops and
onesies in 150 to 200gsm single jersey, knit terry, poplin
and cambric. Models use a drawstring or tape closure,
and have piping or gathers. They are not padded or
lined. Pieces are priced between $2.50 and $4.
For the midrange, it is common to use 200 to 220gsm
interlock, bamboo-cotton, jersey, corduroy and denim.
T-shirts, shorts, sleeveless dresses with bloomers,
kangaroo-pocket hoodies, pajamas and rompers have
ruffles, lace, patchwork, embroidery, lining and padding.
They reach $6.
High-end body suits with feet, hooded kimonos, night
suits and rompers come in 220 to 250gsm interlock,
denim, corduroy, fleece, ribbed and bamboo-cotton.
They are printed or have stripes, embroidery, patchwork,
multiple tiers, ruffles, and cotton lining and padding.
Pieces can exceed $10.
Organic cotton baby clothing from Organic Mart India
comes in 150 to 225gsm single jersey and interlock. The
company offers rompers, body suits, T-shirts and pajamas.
Gujarat-based Herbal Fab uses 30 and 40s single jersey
and interlock, and 10 to 50s woven organic cotton fabric
to make body suits, frocks, rompers, T-shirts, drawstring
pajamas and night suits.

Seven signs of a poorly


managed China factory
The boss keeps sipping tea with friends in his office
Being a good host is important in China and developing personal
relationships goes a long way, too. But how can the boss stay on
top of things if he spends three to five hours a day chatting with
friends and drinking tea?

The general manager has no authority

by:
d
e
n
sig GM

In many factories, the GM is also the legal representative and is


solely in charge of relations with local authorities.
In other words, he was chosen because he is local, he can drink a
lot of baijiu, and he looks trustworthy. So why name him the GM?
In that case, the formal structure on the org chart is meaningless.

Managers cant give responses to precise questions


Have you ever asked a manager, Can you describe how this QC
check is performed? and a long conversation in Chinese was
necessary before you got a response?
Why dont they look at their procedures and their records?
Probably because these documents are not maintained properly
and are not respected. Another reason is the excessive amount of
time managers spend in offices rather than on the shop floor.

Many people, or small departments, have individual offices


People like to have their own office, right? Sure, but I see more
and more China companies converting their office areas into
open spaces.
Private rooms not only foster a lack of communication and
coordination among the different departments, they also make
kickbacks (especially in purchasing) easier.

There is no effort at visual management


How often do you see a whiteboard with each workshops
planning for the week? Or statistics about first-pass rate,
production numbers, etc. posted on walls? Very seldom, right?

The production supervisors see it as extra work. As a result,


nobody knows this information. Unfortunately, hiding problems
and solving them dont go together.

There is a lot of office space for production supervisors

It keeps them away from where improvements must be made


and thats a problem.

The place is messy and dirty


In many workshops, scrap lies on the floor and piles of
semifinished products are everywhere.
This is actually related to the previous point. Good visual
management can change how a whole factory operates.

Renaud Anjoran has been involved in quality assurance and manufacturing in China since 2006. He observes how Chinese
factories are organized when working for China Manufacturing Consultants (www.cmc-consultants.com).

Q&A: Kristina Koehler

Stop moving from low- to


lower-cost locations
Is your company constantly playing catch-up by moving
from low-cost to lower-cost production hubs? If the
answer is yes, you probably need to rethink your sourcing
strategies.
In an interview with Global Sources, Kristina Koehler, China
Director of the Klako Group, says the country with the
lowest labor costs may not be the best choice.
Importers need to assess a range of other factors such as
the cost of transportation and electricity, supply chain
risk, workforce skills and tax incentives before choosing a
location.
She also elaborates on the importance of signing contracts
when doing business in China and gives advice on how
importers can protect their IP in the country.
Kristina has been working in Chinas legal and accounting
industry since 2003 advising foreign clients on tax,
accounting and trade-related issues. She has worked on
numerous complex transactions, including foreign direct
investment and M&A deals.
Global Sources: What do you think are the top three
trends impacting the manufacturing and exporting
industry in China today?
KK: Cheap, plentiful labor used to be Chinas biggest
advantage, but that benefit is shrinking. Foreign companies
and fast-growing local businesses are searching for qualified
employees especially workers with skills such as fluency
in English making it harder for businesses to attract and
retain top talent.
In addition, wage inflation in the prime business locations,
particularly along the eastern seaboard, has remained in the
double digits for roughly a decade, with some decrease in
the last year.
Depending on the industry, China may no longer be the
cheapest place for foreign companies to do business. Real
estate costs have risen. Electricity rates are also rising.
Corporate income tax rates for most foreign companies
have increased from 15 percent to 25 percent, while
tax-related incentives are disappearing or becoming
increasingly difficult to obtain.

That is why a growing


number of companies
are shifting production to
near-shore or domestic
locations, reducing
supply chain costs
and risk, and making
the business easier to
manage.
GS: What strategic
changes would
importers sourcing in
Kristina Koehler, China Director of the Klako
China have to make
Group, has been working in Chinas legal and
given that the country
accounting industry since 2003.
is losing its low-cost
advantage?
KK: Start by getting
clarity about your organizations strategic goals and
objectives. Does your company intend to reduce costs?
Penetrate a new market? Expedite response times? Diversify
risk?
Because costs likely rise more quickly in less-established
countries, some organizations find themselves consistently
playing catch-up as they seek to move from low- to
lower-cost locations.
An effective assessment of potential manufacturing locations
requires the involvement of a broad range of functions such
as HR, supply chain, legal and tax. Getting those functions
engaged before choosing a location can help avoid
unpleasant surprises down the road.
The location with the lowest labor costs may not actually be
the preferred one or even the most cost-effective place to
do business.
To make the right choice, consider a wide range of factors,
including everything from the cost of transportation and
electricity to supply chain risk, workforce skills and tax
incentives.
Identify and prioritize all the needs of your business, and
then see how each location stacks up against your specific
requirements.

Manufacturers seeking a presence in Asia may steer


toward China, especially if the domestic market potential
is an important consideration. Meanwhile, those that
already have a deep China presence may see risk
diversification as a driver, and be more apt to move
existing production from China or divert the next
manufacturing investment to another country.
For companies deploying cost-sensitive, export-oriented
manufacturing in the Asia-Pacific region, a handful of
countries most commonly emerge as alternatives to China.
Each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
GS: How do you think importers can ensure their China
suppliers are really meeting basic corporate social
responsibility standards?
KK: The importance of setting CSR standards by importers
and retailers is to make sure that they maintain their
brand images globally. If the workplace health, safety and
environmental regulatory framework of their sourcing
market is less stringent than in their home country, find
suppliers that are prepared to accept the home countrys
requirements as their standard.
That means buyers need to undertake thorough due
diligence to identify and qualify partners in the supply
chain and this cannot be done just once. It has to be
done on a regular basis.
Buyers should be prepared to pay a premium to ensure
partners can meet the standards demanded by customers
back home (it may make producing overseas more
expensive but their reputation will remain intact).
GS: As a legal and accounting expert, what is your
advice for foreign importers with regard to commercial
contracts they sign with China suppliers?
KK: Some companies doing business in China do not
believe that there is a need for contracts with their
counterparts. Some will say that the Chinese will not
follow the contract terms anyway, while others insist it
would be futile to try and enforce them in Chinese courts.
However, it is important to draw up contracts with those
you are doing business in China for a number of reasons.
Firstly, doing business in China can be a difficult
task. Clarity is required with every business deal and
transaction. The language barrier is a constant struggle.
The Chinese see business differently than most Western
countries so problems can arise with misunderstandings
in management, supply, manufacturing and other areas if
strict guidelines are not applied.
A contract provides clarity on what it is exactly that you
want accomplished. It is specially beneficial to have
penalty clauses listed should various goals not be met.
Add such issues in your contract as shipment dates,
quality expectations, and other important items you want
fulfilled.

A contract also provides very straightforward guidelines as


to what is expected.
The contract should be written in Chinese and English
to ensure there is complete understanding on everyones
part.
A contract also provides the power of enforcement.
Although there is a common belief that contracts for doing
business in China cannot be enforced in the country, the
truth is that China is ranked 16th out of 183 countries for
successfully enforcing them. That is a good track record of
enforcement.
Preparation, negotiation and even enforcement of
contracts will save buyers a great deal of time, money and
headaches that are more likely to surface without them.
GS: What should buyers sourcing in China, and
companies selling into the country, do to protect their
intellectual property rights?
KK: Similar to contract formulation, some companies doing
business in China do not believe that there is a need for
registering their IP. Some will insist it would be futile to try
and enforce IPR in Chinese courts.
According to the Regulations of the Peoples Republic
of China Regarding Customs Protection of Intellectual
Property Rights, The Peoples Republic of China prohibits
from import or export goods which infringe the intellectual
property rights. This article alone highlights the
importance of registering trademarks or patents in China
even if businesses are just subcontracting the production
in the country.
China is a first-to-file country and as such many third-party
manufacturers register the trademarks and patents of their
clients products in order to be ahead of the game.
GS: What is the business scope of the Klako Group
and what services do you offer international volume
importers?
KK: Klako Group is an international accounting and
management consulting firm established in 1979.
We provide a wide range of market entry consulting,
incorporation, tax, accounting, human resource and
trade services to organizations interested in entering and
expanding throughout mainland China, Hong Kong and
Singapore.
Our typical clients are multinational corporations as well
as small-to-medium sized privately owned companies.
For international importers we can establish their legal
entity, open bank accounts, arrange for the necessary
licenses, register trademarks, and handle the accounting
and financial reporting, tax and legal compliance.
Additionally, our trade and supply chain team can provide
support to any kind of trading business and we are happy
to tailor solutions.

Q&A: Alicia Garcia-Herrero

RMB-ization can facilitate


China trade
Alicia Garcia-Herrero, Chief Economist for Emerging
Markets, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) believes
the internationalization of the yuan, or RMB-ization, can
deepen Chinas trade relations with emerging markets.
In an interview with Global Sources, Garcia-Herrero
explains that a global yuan can minimize the impact of
developed countries monetary policy on trade growth.
She also sheds light on how certain buyers can benefit from
using the yuan as a trade settlement currency and how
importers can cope with forex rate fluctuations.
In her current role at BBVA, Garcia-Herrero spearheads
a team spread across 10 countries analyzing economic
developments in the emerging world, with particular
emphasis on Latin America, Asia and Turkey. She is also a
member of the advisory board of the Hong Kong Institute
of Monetary Research and advisor to the European
Commission on China.
How do you see the yuans internationalization or
RMB-ization as you call it impacting trade relations
between China and emerging markets?
AGH: We believe that yuan internationalization can facilitate
Chinas trade with other emerging markets.

Yuan internationalization can


partially offset headwinds from
US tightening.
In particular, the use of the RMB in cross-border trade
benefits China exporters and importers by streamlining red
tape and reducing exchange rate risks, which in turn boost
Chinas trade with all other countries.
More importantly, the rise of the yuan will build itself
as an internationally accepted settlement currency,
complementary to other existing global currencies, including
the US dollar, the euro and the yen.
To a large extent, it can prevent the trade between China
and other emerging markets from being adversely affected

Edit: Q&A: Alicia Garcia-Herrero

by the changes of
advanced countries
monetary policy,
for example, the US
prospective exit of QE.
As we have seen in the
past several months, even
concerns of US monetary
tightening (rather than
a real tightening) are
sufficient to dampen
trade growth in emerging
markets by denting trade
finance activities.

Leading economist Alicia Garcia-Herrero


specializes in financial crises, comparative
analysis of emerging markets, and economic
issues related to Latin America and Asia.

Yuan internationalization can partially offset headwinds from


US tightening because it provides an alternative currency
for emerging markets to obtain trade finance and settle their
trades. In this sense, yuan internationalization is helpful
to deepen trade relations between China and emerging
markets.
GS: Is it more advantageous for foreign buyers importing
from China to use the yuan as a settlement currency?
AGH: The answer depends largely on who the foreign
buyers are. For those multinational enterprises that already
have operations in China, they can use RMB-denominated
cross-border trade to exploit certain arbitrage opportunities
arising from the interest rate and exchange rate differentials
between onshore and offshore markets.
For other foreign buyers, the RMBs appreciation
expectation and relatively higher interest rate are two major
disadvantages for choosing it as the settlement currency.
But this case might change in the future when the prospective
US tightening raises financing costs of USD and the RMB
exchange rate further approaches to its equilibrium level.
GS: The current forex rate crises in countries such as
India, Malaysia and Brazil are making China-made
products less competitive in those countries. How can
buyers in those regions cope?

AGH: The response of final buyers will depend on several


things.
First, some of the depreciation of exchange rates has been
already reversed.
Second, part of the devaluation against the US dollar
has not been passed through to the final prices. This
depends, among other things, on the degree of product
differentiation, which can be important in manufacturing
rather than in commodities (very homogeneous and traded
in the US dollar).
Last, but not the least, the gap in absolute prices can still be
important despite the depreciation effect.
To sum up, the degree of the pass through to final prices,
product differentiation and absolute price differential can
mitigate the negative effects of nominal exchange rate
depreciation of the rest of the currencies. It will depend on
the different products and countries.
GS: What do you think are the pains and gains of a strong
yuan strategy for Chinas exports?
AGH: A strong currency will definitely reduce the
competitiveness of a countrys products relative to other
countries. China is no exception. On the other hand,
it is noted that the RMB exchange rate is still modestly

undervalued. In this sense, maintaining the RMBs


appreciation trend might help to rebalance Chinas
economy by encouraging domestic consumption and
increasing imports.
A strong yuan can also stimulate China exporters to upgrade
their technologies and climb up the global value chain.

A strong yuan can stimulate China


exporters to upgrade their technologies
and climb up the global value chain.
GS: Where do you see the USD-RMB exchange rate in one
year?
AGH: Generally, we believe that the RMB exchange rate
is still modestly undervalued by 5 to 8 percent against the
US dollar. But the authorities are unlikely to abandon their
gradualism in aligning the RMB with its equilibrium level.
That said, we expect the RMB to further appreciate 2 or 3
percent in 2014.
In the meantime, the authorities might introduce more
two-way flexibility to the currency, possibly through a
further widening of the daily trading band to 1.5 percent
in early 2014.

Dorian Ho, CEO and creative director of Dorian


International Ltd, added his observation that Chinese
consumers, coming from a developing country, still
look up to the outside world most of the time. Being
able to wear international luxury brands reflects ones
status, success and wealth.
Or as Maosuit.com founder Timothy Coghlan puts it,
foreign labels are experts at branding and creating
aspirational marketing and lifestyle dreams that the
Chinese would prefer to buy into.
Their relative newness and the fake China stigma are
working against domestic prestige brands as well.
Most international labels, characterized by their
iconic logos, colors and patterns, have nurtured
their products high level of quality, finesse and
craftsmanship over a long and extensive history.

This dilemma underscores the need


for China to make its own original
products, innovating sans a western
precedent. Doing so will foster China
pride and encourage consumers
to support homegrown talent,
consequently lowering demand for
foreign brands. Such a move will cut
down on counterfeiting as well.
In contrast, China luxury brands are relatively young,
having emerged just a few years ago, and have yet to
map out mid- and long-term plans.
China companies have to invest a lot of capital,
patience and confidence, which could take decades,
in building up their brands, said Ho of Dorian
International.

local fashion circuit, Zutshi said. People, however,


have also started to look at the quality products
coming from China as Shanghai Tang, Vivienne Tam
and other budding brands gain a good reputation
abroad.
Even within China, industry observers have noted a
growing disdain for fake products. This is particularly
true among middle-class consumers who, having
realized that quality and craftsmanship trump
appearance, are becoming more sophisticated with
their choices.
Redefining luxury
The next step would then be to shift the taste of
domestic consumers from a western-biased aesthetic to
one that is decidedly sophisticated and Chinese, said
Daniel Kong, fashion writer of The Black Renaissance.
For Zutshi, this movement is already under way. Luxury
no longer means flamboyant logos, but something
more sober, subtle and elegant. Young Chinese have
an entirely new way of defining their status, opting
for products that are more traditional and, therefore,
unique. They prefer Shang Xia to Hermes, realizing
the potential of their own creative, and are ready to
invest in local products.
About 90 percent of Shang Xias products are
China-made. These include a $5,300 porcelain tea set
with handwoven bamboo thread and cashmere felt
coat worth about $6,400.
Hermes created in China luxury brand, Shang
Xia, is proof that consumers pride in their countrys
own design capabilities will carry the labels success
internationally. Last September 2013, it opened a
750sqft store in Paris, the first outside of China.
Shang Xia is just one example of what the industry has
termed hybrids.

As for being called the land of fakes, China is working


its way out of this particular epithet.

Brilliance to create the Zhinuo, or Zinoro as the brand
is called in English. The electric car is set to go on

Based on the Mercedes-Benz B-Class, the Denza will
also make its first appearance at the Guangzhou car
show and will go on sale in the mainland in first-half
2014. The Denza is from the Daimler-BYD joint venture.
Hybrids may be the go-to business model but the fact
that they are part-Western puts their authenticity to
question.
Bundshop cofounder and marketing director Stephany
Zoo wrote about this in detail in Jing Daily. In the
article, Zoo asked whether these hybrids can really
be considered Chinese heritage brands in the same
way Chanel is considered intrinsically French or
Gucci quintessentially Italian, with several industry
influencers giving their opinions.

This dilemma, therefore, underscores the need for


China to make its own original products, innovating
sans a western precedent. Doing so will foster China
pride and encourage consumers to support homegrown
talent, consequently lowering demand for foreign
brands. Such a move will cut down on counterfeiting
as well.
Regardless of whether they partner with a Western
company or take the heritage route, suppliers need to
leverage the novel concept that is China luxury brands.
The Black Renaissances Kong said companies need
to take advantage of this curiosity to showcase their
work.
Once the novelty wears off and as Chinese consumers
become even more seasoned and sophisticated,
however, China prestige labels will need to
compete on an even playing field with their Western
counterparts, Kong added. They will need savvy
business and managerial skills to match up against
foreign brands that already have both the financial
clout and deep-seated experience in the luxury
industry.

The dangers of
miscommunication
Even the smallest miscommunication with a China supplier
can result in unexpected and undesirable situations.
Mistakes can happen for a variety of reasons, including
poor communication internally in the factory, lack of clarity
on original request and human error, said Jacob Yount of
JLmade, who has been sourcing in China since 2003.
Assuming anything in China manufacturing is the first step
to a disaster, he added.
Here are four real-life examples of how things can go wrong
when the supplier misunderstands instructions or the buyer
does not list their requirements clearly.
Aside from explaining what caused the miscommunication,
we asked each company to describe what they learnt
from the incidents and the steps they took to avoid such
situations in the future.
1. Extra staples on metal-free packaging
Company name: Beretica
Main import market(s): UK, US
Sourcing in China since: 2007
Company website: www.beretica.com
What happened?
We instructed our supplier not to use any kind of staples
on the packaging and carton; it must be metal-free (as a
safety standard of our customer). The supplier agreed with
this easy instruction and our QC team also mentioned it in
face-to-face meetings with factory executives.
This instruction was written on the purchase order and the
pro forma invoice. It looked like everything was clear. But
at the final inspection, we surprisingly found that there were
even more staples on the cartons than usual, they used
these extra staples for more secure packaging.

instruction coming from the sales department of the factory.


They guessed we wanted more solid and secure packaging
than the standard. The sales person also did not control the
production in terms of requirements we instructed.
What did you learn?
Avoid placing orders during the peak season.
We understand that QA is much more important than
QC. Therefore, we built a team for QC, including China
employees, because local personnel might be more useful
in our China sourcing team to prevent more complex
misunderstandings in the future.
2. The mystery of the elusive serial number
Company name: JLmade
Main import market(s): US
Sourcing in China since: 2003
Blog URL: http://jacobyount.com
What happened?
My first year working in Nanjing, China, for another
company, back in 2001, I was working on a project of
plush toys that had a serial number on the tag. I e-mailed
the serial number to the factory. They faxed back the serial
number for me to check. I glanced at it without checking
it letter by letter, number by number, assuming it was the
same; because why would the factory change it?
Sure enough, there was one discrepancy in what they
sent back to me and the incorrect serial number was then
printed on 40,000 plush toys.

We lost two days for shipment due to repackaging.

What caused the miscommunication?


I dont have a clue why the factory changed the code and
then asked me to check. It was like they were setting me
up for failure. I realize now, many China factories leave the
responsibility of exactness not with themselves but with the
client or importer.

What caused the miscommunication?


It was the peak season for the factory. Among many orders,
the production department misunderstood this very easy

But the main cause of the error was that I was young and
inexperienced. At that time, I had been in China for only
approximately three months and it was my first sourcing.

I didnt know a factory would change things for whatever


reason and then ask you if it is correct.
What did you learn?
With China you have to learn to micromanage your orders
in a macro sort of way.
That was my wake up call, 12 years ago. I learned that
everything the factory sends has to be checked line-by-line,
number-by-number, image-by-image. They will change
things without any sound reason.
This includes products color, material, size, the printfor
whatever reason, whether poor communication internally
in the factory, lack of clarity on original request or human
error, the importer has to double-check everything.
Assuming anything in China manufacturing is the first step
to a disaster.
3. The case of the ignored acronym
Company name: procurAsia (the company in this case
study is now a client of procurAsia, but was not
managing this project through the company at that time
of the events)
Main import market(s): Western Europe
Sourcing in China since: 2013
Company website: www.procurasia.com
What happened?
A European company was looking for mechanical and
electrical parts to be assembled into wind turbines in
Europe. They found one reliable supplier of parts and
defined the right part with them. The part was based on one
of the suppliers standard product, with a few additional
machining.

The goods were shipped before pre-shipment inspection.


What caused the miscommunication?
We had several rounds of discussions with the supplier and
we are convinced that they shipped the goods in good faith.
At the same time, the European company was convinced
that they had clearly requested a pre-shipment inspection in
their purchase order. And since it was in the purchase order,
there was no need to do anything more.
We checked and the inspection was listed in the purchase
order. But the problem most probably comes from the
acronym FAT, which means Factory Acceptance Test.
Delivery: FOB Delivery notice to be sent 15 days in
advance before shipping
Quality and test procedures as per requirements attached
FAT to take place in your facilities before shipment.
According to XXX general purchase Terms and Conditions
Payment terms: 20% advance payment - 80% before
shipping and after FAT.
We believe that the supplier did not identify this as a preshipment inspection and then forgot about it.
Technically, the buyer could refuse to pay for the balance
payment, but this would have led to nothing constructive
What did you learn?
It is important to reconfirm the terms of the purchase
order with the supplier and to go over the practical
implementation.
In this case, specifically reconfirm with the supplier which
steps will be undertaken and a few weeks prior to the
scheduled goods availability, contact them again and
organize the inspection.

After the discussion, the European company purchased a

Five on-site tests that can


be done on any product
Product inspections are split into two distinct but
equally important segments: general inspection and
special inspection.
General inspection involves a thorough handling of
every item in the sample size, and is meant to detect
aesthetic issues and other obvious flaws in the product.
These include breakage, missing accessories, rust,
discoloration, sharp edges, poor printing of logos and
the like.
Special inspection refers to a collection of more
involved tests that are performed on a smaller subset of
the sample size. Special inspection checkpoints include
taking detailed dimensions of the item, performing its
basic function, and subjecting it to abuses that may
result from normal use. These tests are designed to
check for critical safety and functionality issues that
can potentially ruin an end-users experience with the
product.
It is true that some products require customized
testing, and certain tests require a controlled laboratory
environment. However, some special inspection tests
can be applied to almost any product you may be
manufacturing in China, and they can be performed
right in the factory. Whether they are performed
by your third-party QC partner or by the supplier
themselves, here is our list of the top five tests that
should be performed on your products before they
leave the factory.
1. Basic function testing
Testing the basic function on at least a handful of your
products cannot be overlooked. The exception here
may be for industrial machinery and other such larger
or complex items. But just about every consumer
product should undergo a basic function test.
The basic function test should be performed in such
a way as to mimic the end-users normal use of the

item. This will reveal any latent defects that may only
become obvious when using the product. Function
tests for specific products are easy to come up with:
Actually cook with a skillet; raise and lower the height
of an office chair to check the pneumatic components;
power-on/off electronic devices at least a few times.
Additionally, function tests can be based on claims
made on the products packaging. For example, a
2-quart pot can be filled to the brim to check its
actual volume, and a dishwasher-safe mug should be
put through at least one cycle in a dishwasher.
2. Print adhesion testing
Print adhesion or color-fastness testing is essential
for any item that is branded with a company logo
or carries important printed markings (for usage or
warnings).
Since these items will most likely be handled regularly,
and possibly washed as well, it is important to make
sure the printing will endure these conditions. This
test can be performed in a few ways depending on the
product.
For softlines such as clothing and other textile
items, crocking tests should be performed. This test
involves taking a dry white cloth and rubbing the fabric
vigorously to see if any color transfers from the product
to the testing cloth. Crocking tests can also be repeated
with liquid such as water or alcohol for more thorough
test results.
For hardline items (basically anything other than
textiles) a modified version of the cross-hatch adhesion
test can be performed. This is done by carefully using
a razor to etch diagonal intersecting lines over the
printed area, applying a strip of 3M tape, and then
removing it. The testing result is determined by the
amount of print material that is removed by the tape
(less is better).

3. Bar-code scanning
If you are selling to a large retailer, ensuring your
products bar codes are scannable is crucial. Some
retailers have policies that may result in huge
chargebacks for items that are incorrectly labeled, or if
bar codes do not scan correctly either in the warehouse
or at the point of purchase.
This test is very simple. Auditors can use a bar-code
scanner or even their smartphones to scan a handful
of bar codes from each of your SKUs. The readout
from the scanner should be compared to both your
specifications, and the Human Readable Line on the
bar code itself. Any inconsistencies should be reported
immediately.

meet your specified dimensions may be unable to be


assembled properly, causing the finished product to be
potentially useless.
5. Carton & item drop tests
If there is anything you can be sure will happen to your
products, it is that they will get dropped. The shipper
cartons will get dropped when they are being loaded
and unloaded from trucks, and the products themselves
will be dropped during normal use.
Carton and item drop tests will let you know how well
your products will stand up to this inevitable abuse.

Continuous product cost


reduction an advantage
Everybody knows that China manufacturing benefits from
lower labor costs, even though it is currently eroding. But
another cost advantage is less understood: continuous
product cost reduction by redesign.

Product cost reduction


Product cost reduction by redesign means that a
manufacturer changes one aspect of the products in a
way that reduces production cost while retaining
functionality.
Most manufacturers across the world will have such cost
reduction processes, formally or informally:
1. A team looks for cost reduction ideas and corresponding
expected cost improvements.
2. The team reviews the business case for each idea, i.e. a
comparison of the estimated one shot cost of redesigning
the product with the expected future savings generated by
each idea.
3. Depending on expected volumes, each idea will pay
back quickly or not. Based on this economic data, each
idea will be adopted and implemented or rejected.

1. The business case for each idea. The payback time makes
each idea attractive or not.
2. Limited technical resources: Each company will only be
able to allocate a fixed or limited budget to technical and
R&D work each year.
China manufacturers have a serious advantage compared
with Western vendors, because the cost of China
technicians and engineers is much lower than in the West.
A China engineer will cost almost five times less than a
Western engineer.

Illustration
How does this play out? Let us take one product for which
10 cost improvement ideas could be implemented over one
year. Each idea generates a product cost saving between
0.5 and 3 percent. Implementing the idea will have a one
time cost of two to ten persons a year.
A Western manufacturer will only be able to catch half
of the cost reduction. Some of the ideas will be rejected
because the business case for small saving is negative.
Implementation of some ideas with positive business cases
will be postponed to next year because implementing the
top saving ideas eats up the available budget.

All companies will have two constraints in this cost

At the same time, the China company will conclude that


all ideas have a positive business case and the same R&D
budget gives it enough manpower to implement all ideas
within the year.
Each project leads to some cost reduction but China
companies will be able to implement more of them.
In this illustration, the Western company will reject a third
of the cost reduction ideas and will be able to implement
only two ideas within the year. It will be able to generate
a 5 percent cost reduction out of a possible 7 percent. The
China supplier will implement all the 10 ideas and generate
a 10 percent savings within the year.
When the two companies start the year with the same cost
base, the China company will end the year with a product
5 percent cheaper after one year. If this game continues
several years, the China company will accumulate cost
advantages, unless the Western company comes with a
drastically innovative idea.
The table shows how strong the cumulative effect of this
R&D cost advantage can be.

This illustration is simplistic in order to demonstrate the


mechanism at play. But do not think that this is academic.
This is playing in the real world.
I have done it myself with real products. In the most
successful case I handled, I managed a team of people
in China that secured an annual 30 percent cost savings
for several consecutive years for a professional electronic
system.
The 30 percent resulted from adding up several tens of cost
improvement ideas, most of them generating rather small
savings.

Conclusion
The advantage of China suppliers in driving down product
costs is very strong.
Smart purchasers will use this to their advantage and will
actively manage this process:
1. Propose some ideas to suppliers and share the cost
reduction
2. Review cost improvement with suppliers to ensure they
do not reduce quality
3. Enter in ODM agreements with supplier to encourage
such smart cost down initiatives
Only purchasers with strong organization and working with
strong suppliers will be able to do this. But those create
sustainable advantages.

Import from China Advice

Three tips for your China


price requests
Here are three practical tips useful for most price requests
in China, illustrated by recent projects.
1. Spend the time to specify your product in detail
Never assume that your supplier will know what you, as a
buyer, want and expect. Requirement misunderstandings
are the biggest source of problems between buyer and
good suppliers. You, as a buyer, can reduce this by
explicitly clarifying your requirement.
The following real case illustrates what to absolutely avoid.
A European SME making building equipment was looking
for a specific electromechanical part to integrate in its
products. This was a medium-complexity product based
on standard technologies. But it requires some basic
customization to match the buyers requirement. We had
identified and qualified several suppliers for our client.
Armed with a drawing, functional requirements and a set
of samples we issued price requests and secured initial
pricing from all short-listed suppliers. It was now time for

technical solutions and final pricing.

sure why this is different. Which one do we need to design


the product for?
Buyer: You measured the torque. This is the product we
use in our system. Just follow the sample. We want the
same results as the current part.

Each of the suppliers raised an inconsistency between


the functional requirement and sample. The torque
at operating point specified on the drawings and the
measured torque on the delivered sample differed. The
conversation went like this:

Do you notice any problem here? I bet you do. This is a


time bomb that has started ticking.

At supplier 1:
Supplier: We measured the torque on your sample and
we see xxx Nm, but your drawing states yyy Nm. Which
one should we follow?

Second, once production starts and the products come out


of the factory, against which standard will the product be
tested and accepted or rejected?

Buyer: You should follow the drawing. This is the


requirement and if we change this we will have to
requalify the product and go through certification again.
At supplier 2:
Supplier: We are not clear about your requirements. Our
lab shows that the sample product has a torque of yyy
Nm. Your stated requirements call for xxx Nm. We are not

First, the two suppliers will not provide the same product
and it will be hard to compare prices.

This is an extreme case to highlight the problem, but this


happens often. You will be wise to avoid this.
2. Qualify suppliers before or after receiving pricing
It is relatively easy to receive quotations from suppliers,
but not all quotes are valid.
Quotes are only as good as what they include. There is no
value in a low price for a product that is not compliant

with your requirement or from a supplier that cannot


possibly make a compliant product.
When you request prices, before you can take any quote
seriously, you will need to qualify the supplier: is this
a serious supplier; do they understand what we require
and quoted accordingly; are they not just trying to get
my business at any cost and planning to negotiate lower
standards or higher price later on?
Recently we searched for reliable suppliers of custom
tempered glass for an industrial application. In parallel
to our search, the client posted a quote request on the
website mfg.com. The client received a very attractive
quote from a supplier using the online platform. Prices
were really competitive. Having some experience in
China, the client consulted us regarding this and sent us
quote and contacts for further qualification. This was an
excellent idea.

Negotiations happen all the


time when dealing with China
suppliers. It is always possible to
manage it. But it takes times and
energy.
Our sourcing engineer called the suppliers contact person
on a mobile phone. The conversation was very short
and vague, ending on: Sorry, I cannot talk much now.
I will call later. This conversation left a funny feeling,
something was not right. Following up, the sourcing
engineer called the suppliers main number and asked to
talk to the same contact person. The answer was: Sorry,
Sir, but this person no longer works for our company!
The quote was a fake. The so-called contact was actually
still able to access the mfg.com platform under its former
companys name and get access to potential clients.
You better catch that as early as possible in the process.
Low price is good, of course, but it can also mean
trouble!
This is an extreme case again, but, more often than not,
you will receive fantasy offers from unscrupulous sales
people or supercompetitive proposal from very hungry
traders that finally prove totally speculative.
However attractive an offer looks like, keep cool and
proceed with proper supplier qualification before getting
excited.

3. Keeping RFQ documents simple does not mean being


shortchanged
Here is a real case where a simple but complete price
request document helped us save money for our client
later on in the sourcing process.
The request for pricing document
Eight paragraphs illustrated with drawings and photos. A
complete document addressing technical specifications,
production process requirement, packing and labeling
requirements, golden sample process, contact address and
delivery address, all in five pages.

Unlike the vagueness of the first case in this post, there is


not much that can go wrong here.
Later in the process, the client rejected the first samples
produced by the suppliers. A new set of samples was
requested, of course. Realizing that it would incur
additional expenses, the supplier explained that they
would obviously make new samples but that they
expected the client to pay for the transportation costs to
Europe. You do not get anything if you do not ask, right?
Such negotiations happen all the time when dealing with
China suppliers. It is always possible to manage it. But it
takes times and energy.
In this case, though, the short price request document
clearly indicated that this sample transportation was at the
suppliers cost. This made the discussion easy to handle and
we rapidly settle that this was the suppliers responsibility as
it was clearly listed before the price quote.
This is a very small item, but it shows how you can
anticipate small problems and tilt the negotiation lever to
your side early in the process.

Tactics suppliers use


to maximize profits
Stephen Ashcroft, from the procurement and supply chain
consultancy Brian Farrington, has written The Naughty
Vendor Checklist, an interesting post listing naughty
tactics some Western suppliers are using to maximize their
profits.
A suppliers contract delivery team is measured not only
on its ability to ensure customer satisfaction but also
on the profitability of the contract as a whole. While it
would be unjust to suggest all vendors will seek to abuse
the relationship to maximize profit, the buyers contract
manager must be alert to this possibility. The key to
ensuring this does not happen is control, through effective
contract management.
Ashcroft compiles a long list of supplier tactics he has
witnessed.
While I was reading his post, I could not help but think
that many China suppliers have studied the list in all
details a long time ago!
So I decided to put side by side Ashcrofts list and a list of
the tricks that I know many (questionable) China suppliers

will attempt if the purchaser lets them get away with it.
The situations related to payment terms at the China Poor
Supplier side relate to export business only. Payment
terms for China domestic business are very different. I also
skipped some of the original list when I could not find a
related Chinese trick.
The main point here is that, in China or in the West,
purchasers really need to manage their suppliers actively
to avoid the worst of these tactics.
And in conclusion, it is important to note that beside
these typical poor China suppliers, many good suppliers
operate and serve their clients well in China. Some of
them are striving to improve and secure margin by moving
up the chain and by increasing efficiency. Like always,
China displays the best and the worse next to each other.

China poor supplier

Frequent small reductions in service

Famous China quality fades: Supplier makes successive attempts to cut

Concentrates on manipulating high-cost


aspects of contract to manipulate the
price

Similar tactics with raw material costs. Steel prices have increased
by 15 percent over the last three months. I need to increase my price
by 15 percent. Forgetting price = material costs + labor + overhead +
margins

Shifts responsibility to subcontractors to


avoid accountability

China supplier will rather shift responsibility to the purchaser! Oh, the
specification was not clear. Or You did not make it clear in your last
PO.

Blames pressure put on price by


the buyer at the time of contract on
performance shortfalls and then tries to
renegotiate the price

Very common for low-end products. Supplier will take any opportunity
to add a few cents here and there. It is also true that their margins for
such products are really thin.

Delivers low-quality goods when buyer is


known to be short of stock and desperate
for supply

Makes substandard products available for inspection by purchaser two


days before the ship leaves harbor. When inspector rejects the goods,
it puts the purchaser in a conundrum: get no products or get bad
products.

Escalates minor difficulties to prevent


them being raised in the future

Most China suppliers will not escalate any bad news. Sometimes not
even good news. No news does not mean good news.

Pushes for advance payment to assist


cash flow

Pushes for 100 percent payment in advance for small orders. Requires
30 to 40 percent advance payment and balance prior to shipment (after
inspection). To be fair, bad payers in these international contracts are
difficult to sue. As a consequence, unless an L/C is opened, it is hard
to get long payment terms. Only possible after a long-term business
relation is established.

Charges interest on overdue accounts

Not common. Supplier will not ship prior to payment so there are no
real overdue accounts. This is only for export business.

Suspends work/deliveries if accounts


are overdue and then charges for
remobilization

See previous. Supplier will not ship prior to payment so there are no
real overdue accounts. This is only for export business.

Exaggerates costs of variations and


changes to enhance profit

Exaggerates increase in labor and raw material costs to enhance profit


(or protect margin)

Seeks relief from improvement targets

Establishes a precedent, which then

What to look for during


a factory visit
It is probably clear to most now that we strongly
recommend on-site supplier evaluation prior to any
purchase from a China factory. Whether you do it yourself
or use the services of a third-party firm, the on-site visit
is the only reliable way to fully understand the real
capabilities of your potential supplier. Most problems
you may face in the future can be perceived and often
prevented at that stage.
But going on site is one thing, knowing what to look for is
another. I thought it useful to describe the key areas any
person visiting a potential China supplier should actively
observe and even investigate. Each industry will have its
own specifics, but they will all fall in the key areas I list
below.
1st supplier evaluation key area: ability
The first question to get an answer to is: Is this supplier
able to make the product I need? A good supplier will tell
you if they are able to make a product in compliance with
your requirements. However, many poor suppliers will bluff
they way into your business, hoping to get away with it
once you have placed an order.
Of course, this is precisely what you want to screen out.
To be able to make your product, a supplier needs each and
all of these:
The right production equipment and tools on the shop
floor
The right test equipment and measurement instruments
on the shop floor to verify quality and tolerances
Experience in purchasing the material or commercial
parts required in your product
Workers with the right skills, and in some case, with
right certifications (e.g. welding)
Real experience in a similar product or technology
You know your own industry and you know which
equipment and tools are key. You also probably know what
type of testing and measurement are required.

Here are some typical examples of how suppliers fail or


pass for one of these requirements:
A supplier claims he can make a 800mm-long metal
part that requires a dimension accuracy of 0.1mm.
But when he is asked to show how they will test
whether the parts are within tolerances, he shows a
class III tape measure that has a tolerance of more than
1mm.
A supplier of a very high precision power supply could
show a small stock of a specific current sensor used to
control power stability. Most other companies visited
for the same project had no such sensor or could not
even find the agent selling them.
2nd supplier evaluation key area: consistency
The second question to get an answer to is: Is the supplier
able to make the product I need all the time? Even when
a factory has all the equipment, tools and experience to
make a product, there is no guarantee that it will make
quality products consistently. Consistent quality requires
good and strict processes. Processes to make the right
product the first time, as well as QC steps to catch before
shipping any product that displays a problem.
To be able to make your product consistently, a supplier
needs each and all of these:
Clear and adapted production processes, including a
good industrialization process, clear work instructions to
workers, a reliable document and version management
system, a faultproof system to select components and
material used to make the final product
Solid QC processes, including incoming good
inspections, in-production QC at various steps of the
fabrication process, reliable rejected parts system, final
good and packaged good inspection
Systematic data collection and storage, for instance
to allow problem root cause analysis in case product
displays failure after shipment
This is harder to evaluate fully. All China suppliers will
know what you want to hear and they will know what to

answer to you when you ask about process.


The only way to get reliable information is to see evidence
of the process on the shop floor. For instance:
Seeing a specific caliper next to the machine where
a metal part is formed is a decent evidence that some
IPQC is done. Especially if you also see a record sheet
attached to a production batch file.
Seeing a dedicated location for QC, with dedicated
technicians perfoming checks and completing a quality
record sheet is a good evidence of IPQC.
In electronic product factories, you may see automatic
testing systems running in line. If you also can see that
these data are stored in the ERP system and can be
retrieved on a batch per batch basis, you got strong
evidence as well.

Consistent quality requires


good and strict processes.
Processes to make the right
product the first time
and QC steps to catch
before shipping any product
that displays a problem.
All these do not have to be high tech. Many smaller
suppliers will use paper work and simple filing systems,
but they are able to catch problem and trace causes of the
problems even if they do not have a fancy ERP system.
Here, the spirit and mindset are at least as important as the
technology.
3rd supplier evaluation key area: maturity
The third question to get an answer to is: Are the supplier
and its internal systems mature and solid enough to
withstand a small crisis or the loss of a key person? Many
smaller companies are able to provide their customers with
decent quality and good service, but this is based on a few
experienced people only. For instance:
A strong factory manager enforces the processes but if
he is not there, suddenly the shop floor gets messy.
A very experienced technician is able to set up the
machines for your product but after he leaves the
company, no one could make it any longer because
documentation was not clear enough for the other
workers.
A very dynamic sales person has good project

management skills and is able to get the factory do what


his or her customers require. But when he moves to
somewhere else, the replacement is more junior and has
less influence on the factory. Client experience degrades
quickly.
If point 2 is hard to evaluate, point 3 is even harder. It will
be hard to be sure the problem will not arise at seemingly
good factories. But it is possible to screen out poor factories
where problems will certainly occur.
4th supplier evaluation key area: formal documents
Finally, what actually should be the first thing to be
checked, Is the supplier a properly registered and certified
company? This is the easiest thing to verify. You ask a copy
of the documents and read them. Points to check include
company official title/name (in Chinese), address (should
be the same on all documents or there should be a very
good reasons for the discrepancy), and validity dates. The
minimum list of documents to check is:
Company business licence: also check the business
scope of the company and see that it covers the product
you need
Company ISO 9001 certificate: also check that it covers
the product and services you need
Any other company-wide certificates such as ISO
14001, TS16949 or many others
Export licence: this is not a must but if they have it, it
should be in order.
Obviously, much more can be done.
But if everyone already covered all the four areas above
when evaluating China suppliers, most of the horror stories
we hear of would go away. All it takes is one day on site if
you have experienced people to do the work. Probably a
little longer if you are starting with this.
You can do it yourselves, for instance, by having your
company quality or operation manager visit the factory, or
you can use companies offering factory evaluation services.
Most of our clients ask us to do the work first and then send
someone in China for an intensive final evaluation tour for
the short list we kept.

What to check during


a factory inspection
This is an inspection checklist for the average purchaser who
has a few notions about how a factory is run but has no
specific training or experience in quality and manufacturing
management.

that have passed final QC and were classified as good. If you


find 20 percent of pieces with a visual defect, your decision
is easy. I would add that the motivation of the owner is
probably the most determining criterion in such a situation.

CMCs Kim Pen, a veteran factory general manager, assisted


with many of these benchmarks during our client factory
audits.

2.2. If the factory has a quality system

1. The basics that all buyers should look at

Whatever your main goal is, there are certain things you
should look at carefully.

1.1. Objective evaluations

The number of operators and production lines/cells


The capacity, in number of pieces per day, of one
production line/cell
The main process steps and products being made
during your visit
The main market: Export vs. domestic, main
export market, quality standard of two or three
major customers

1.2. Subjective evaluations

Motivation of top managers when you describe


your project
Understanding of your demands/requirements by
managers and technicians
Focus of the factory: High volume at a low cost,
high quality or constant development of new
products?

2. Ability to control quality


The way to check a manufacturer will be totally different
depending on their size and their internal organization.

Does the factory communicate requirements to


its suppliers on its POs (or other documents)? Are
these requirements clearly listed?
Are incoming QC results recorded in a formal
report?
Are clear procedures given to each operator and
to the QC staff for each job?
Are conform samples available to workers in
production and QC areas?
Does final QC occur before or after packing is
completed?
What proportion of products is checked during
final QC?
Are there QC staff dedicated solely to final QC?
Are final QC results recorded in a formal report?
Is the first-pass yield displayed on a wall, and
tracked day-by-day and line-by-line?
Are numbers and details of customer complaints
displayed on a wall?

3. Ability to control costs in the long term


3.1. Overhead costs

Number of professional managers


Standing of factory building and number of
empty floors in the factory building
Recent investment in expensive machinery
How many of these expensive machines are idle?

3.2. Quality system


2.1. If the factory is pretty small and is not structured
They probably have no quality system in place. If the
operators check their work and if the owner (or his wife)
supervises everything, they do not need a quality system at
this point.
In most cases, you will need to make a subjective call. My
advice is to sit down and check about 50 finished products
More new products - www.globalsources.com
More new products - www.globalsources.com

You should still check the quality system (see previous part)
because a high rate of defective products necessitates some
reworking or discarding and costs a lot of money. In the long
term, the buyer ends up paying for quality issues, even if they
are contained at the factory level.

3.3. Maintenance

Is equipment failure down time calculated?

Are there checklists followed for maintenance?

3.4. Visual control

Is the number of pieces per labor hour displayed


on a wall and tracked day-by-day?
Is the amount of scrapped material displayed on a
wall and tracked day-by-day?
Is the total unit cost displayed on a wall and
tracked day-by-day?

3.5. Degree of lean-ness


If you see a lot of inventory kept before production and kept
between production steps, you are observing a traditional
(batch-and-queue) system. In other words, it is very unlean. Less than 1 percent of factories in China are truly lean.

5. Social compliance
5.1. Fire prevention

5.2. Worker protection

4. Production speed

During preproduction, are some jigs tools


prepared by the engineering department?
Is preproduction inventory well-organized?
Is work-in-process inventory stored in a predictable
way?
What is the lead time to get all the components
necessary to launch production?

4.2. Planning

Is production organized as a continuous flow,


without any work-in-process inventory visible
in the workshop? (best)
Is there a kanban system? (very good)
Is there a detailed and updated production
planning (good)
Is there no production planning at all? (worst)

Do workers have appropriate personal protective


equipment?
Are there enough first-aid kits?

5.3. Environmental policy

4.1. Organization

Are there enough accessible fire extinguishers


Are there enough emergency exits? Is it possible
to lock them? Are they used as storage areas?

Import from China Advice

Types of sourcing,
QC inspection agencies
When importers buying products in China need help with
their sourcing, there are broadly three types of companies
they can choose from:
The commissioned agent
The trading company
The third-party service provider
This article explains the differences among the three
types of agents, and offers a list of 11 verified third-party
sourcing and QC inspection agencies. Aside from basic
information such as product specialization, type of agency,
size of company, office locations and contact details, two
testimonials from each companys clients are included.
Types of sourcing companies
In his blog post, The 3 Types of Sourcing Companies in
China, renowned blogger and founder of Sofeast Quality
Control, Renaud Anjoran explains the differences among
the three types of agents. He says about less than 10
percent of agents may be a mix of two categories, or
alternate between two categories.
1) The commissioned agent
The commissioned agent usually charges buyers 5 percent
to 10 percent of the FOB price for the orders that he
follows. The potential risk of using the commissioned
agent, however, is that such agents are likely to get more
money from the factory than the amount they get from
importers, according to Anjoran.
He adds that many of the commissioned agents, therefore,
defend suppliers instead of their clients (importers)
when things go wrong. Also, importers that employ
commissioned agents usually need to keep a tab on their
orders because many of these agents are not professional
enough to manage production.
2) The trading company
The advantage of using trading companies is that they
accept small orders and handle all aspects of the China
production and sourcing for buyers. They cooperate with a
number of small factories, which are often unable to export

Buyers sourcing in China can engage third-party sourcing and inspection agencies to help
them with their requirements.

directly. A trading company adds its margin to the price


provided by a factory.
Sourcing from a trading company can be advantageous,
especially for smaller orders.
Counting in a traders margin, the price provided by a trading
company might still be lower than that of a larger factory.
Moreover, large factories are likely to decline small orders.
Anjoran advises buyers to inspect the product quality even
if they are sourcing from a trading company except if the
trader pays for a famous third-party QC firm to do it.
3) The third-party service provider
The third-party service provider, also known as a sourcing
consultant, gets a fee from customers. The fee is usually
fixed, not proportioned according to the order size as that
charged by the commissioned agent. This ensures each
of its customers can get the same service irrespective of
company or order size.
Some of these agents sell their services as project
management, procurement or supply chain
management.

Using a third-party service provider is specially


cost-effective for small and midsize companies.

If the response to both these questions is yes, this IS a


commissioned agent.

Sourcing veteran Mike Bellamy notes that except for the


largest of buyers, the costs of setting up their own sourcing
office or hiring the staff back home to source directly from
factories would far outweigh the service fees of a thirdparty agency.

Note that if the agent says he gets paid by the supplier, he is


another sort of commissioned agent, and is closer to being
a sales agent for the manufacturer rather than a buyers
sourcing agent.
Third, if this IS NOT a commissioned agent, find out if the
agent is a sourcing consultant by asking:
Do you get a fee for your work?
Is this commission paid by the buyer?

Anjoran adds that if buyers can justify the upfront


investment, this is a great way to source new products.
Buyers will benefit from a professional identification and
screening process, and will have full information about the
supply chain.
If the response to both these questions is yes, this IS

certain activities in their organization over the long


term

Such buyers tend to work with fewer manufacturers. They


often deal with only one product category. They sell in a
channel that will not accept quality problems.
Criteria for selecting service providers
The China Sourcing Information Center white paper,
Selecting Service Providers to Support China Sourcing
Projects, offers a list of criteria to consider when selecting
third-party service providers:
Are they a legitimate company with proper business
licensing?
Do they have a clear track record of performance? If

they cannot give you client references, run away. That

is a big red flag.
Do they have their own infrastructure or do they

leverage another companys staff, skill sets, office
space, licensing and/or manufacturing?
Are they focused on a certain set of services or do

they try to do everything for everybody? Yes, even

the third-party service providers have been known

to outsource to others just like some factories
outsource production without telling the buyer.
Is their pricing structure and service provider

agreement well-defined and transparent? It is a major

pitfall to do business with a third-party service

provider without a clear contract in place that

outlines the service, costs, time frame and other
desired attributes of the partnership.

Import from China Advice

Stop your supplier from


becoming your competitor
Renaud Anjoran over at the Quality Inspection Tips blog
recently wrote How Your Chinese Suppliers Might Become
Your Competitors. Anjoran provides some excellent
suggestions for preventing your China supplier from
competing with you, based on his notes from a talk by Paul
Melkebeke, vice president supply Asia for Samsonite.
Melkebeke talked of how building a brand and a distribution
network is a long-term investment. No doubt about that.
He then noted how Samsonite protects its IP by all available

constant stocking of the products and no plans and no
ability to repair the products and no plan and no ability

China Manufacturers plans to sell directly into the US
market were essentially a joke.
Nonetheless, China Manufacturer had done huge
harm to USA Companys business. USA Company had
to scramble to find a new supplier. USA Company
succeeded but it also had to figure out how to get
products manufactured and shipped out of China
without violating China Manufacturers trademarks.
USA Company did this securing a trademark for small

manufacturer not trying to
compete with you even if doing so
makes no sense at all.
Anjoran then wrote about how Melkebeke advocated for
employing legal methods to keep suppliers in their place,
even if they are not 100 percent effective.
The first comment to Anjorans post stated that legal
contracts are next to useless in most cases unless you are
a Samsonite or an Apple. For SMEs, the only sustainable
strategy is relentless innovation. I completely disagree.
From the legal side, there is a lot that can be done to protect
yourself from your China supplier, even though, like anything
else, these things will not work 100 percent of the time. But
really, legal protections are probably more important for
small and midsize companies than for a massive corporation
such as Apple.
Let me explain. First, I would urge everyone to read a
post we did titled The New Role Of Written Contracts For

the small engines of all of its outdoor products.

Let me explain. When we draft an OEM Agreement
(Manufacturing Agreement or Supplier Agreement), we
are always very careful regarding delivery times. Most of
the time, our clients come to us with a term sheet or an
oral agreement with their China manufacturer dictating
something like 30 days for delivery. We like strictly
tying the China manufacturer to the agreed-upon
delivery time and we usually do that with a liquidated
damages provision tied to late delivery. Just by way
of example, we might put into the OEM Agreement a
provision saying something along the lines of delivery

frame. Our client usually realizes it is better to get real
agreement (even if longer than originally anticipated)
before ordering, rather than getting late delivery after
ordering.
The other, somewhat related, issue we face on delivery
times is that when our client comes to us and says it has
agreed with its China manufacturer to a 30-day delivery
schedule, we then have to figure out 30 days from what.
We typically go with 30 days from the issuance of the
purchase order, but oftentimes the China company
pushes for it to be 30 days from its receipt of payment or
30 days from its receiving proof of payment.
Bottom Line: Certainty is important with respect to
delivery dates and, without a doubt, the best way to
achieve that certainty is a written contract, in Chinese (so
that there is no doubt the manufacturer understands what
is on the paper) clearing setting forth the delivery date.
In my view though, the main reason to have a good contract
is to prevent problems on which you might need to sue. We
