STAGE 1Product evaluation

The product was hinges for furniture which does not require in that case to develop a special product For the same reason It was not necessary to send samples or layouts.

STAGE 2Supplier selection

The GruppoY representative in China conducted a search for suppliers and proposed a total of three reliable factories ready to supply this product at competitive price. As an interesting fact, one of those factories was where their old Argentine supplier used to buy Analyzing all the variables, GruppoY chose one of them.

To give the final OK, a witness sample was requested from the supplier and in that way our customer made the final decision.

STAGE 3Two-way trading contract

Once the witness sample was approved, GruppoY requested a pro-forma invoice. The customer sent the money advance to China and the production started automatically.

GruppoY followed the order status day after day, demanding the agreed delivery times and giving precise instructions to the supplier regarding the packaging and labelling of the boxes to prevent customs problems in Argentina.

STAGE 4Customs documentation control and load

GruppoY carried out an exhaustive control of the original documentation to avoid generating "unnecessary" expenses when the goods are dispatched in the Argentine Customs. These "unnecesary" expenses could be regarding classification and valuation of the merchandise. Our customs agent also collaborated to avoid any kind of contingencies.

STAGE 6Shipping and Customs clearance

Ten days later, the customer sent the balance to the supplier At this stage and with the goods 100% paid, the supplier sent the original documents to GruppoY via courier After checking thoroughly, they were handed over to the customs agent to proceed with the goods nationalization.

Thanks to our team of experts, the load was released by Customs within the stipulated deadlines and our customer could finally receive his first cargo imported from China.
