Question: How do I import a product from another country? If I want to import a product from another country... what steps should I take? What are the basics of importation? Where places do I need to visit? Who do I have to speak with?

Answer: Dear Sir,I don't know in which country you live in,but overall the definitions are very the same.Of course,first you need to be signed in as an importer (see your government rules),then you specify the product:from which country,...then you get in touch with the exporter and ask for brochures,terms of delivery,prices,quality standards,....to find suppliers in Europe,you can search www.europages.com and look for products.Addresses are available on line. You can use search engines also (google,yahoo,...).Do not forget to ask important information about VAT,and all other costs involved (shipping,packaging,...).Look around for courses you can follow or get involved in on line business clubs, such as Linked In,Open BC,and so on.Ask your government for more information if necessary,or contact a lawyer specialized in export insurance. It's not easy,but you can open an on line store and sell without having a warehouse. Try it out,look for possibilities. I wish you luck.\nGreetings,\nLuc
