1.Make sure you do a thorough inspection of the company before you trade with an International company: a Factory Audit; Production Inspection; and a Pre-shipment Inspection conducted by a third party company are very important if your company is ordering a large quantity of goods from a company. This is the best way to protect your interests and reduce the risks involved in international trade. This is why, currently, more and more big buyers seek assistance from local inspection companies.

2. To protect your financial interests, use a secure payment method, such as L/C. You should also sign a business contract with your trading partner. You may also ask for a written guarantee ensuring that the products you order will be of the same quality as the samples you received. If you do have to request a refund or take a company to court, this will be strong evidence.

3. If a trade dispute occurs, try better communication with your trading partner. Most disputes are solved after discussing problems directly. Negotiate with your partner and try to find a reasonable solution. If the dispute cannot be solved after negotiations, try to get legal support to aid mediation.
