HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

We help you with the LEGAL PROCESS to export your products.

We help you to obtain ALL DOCUMENTS & STANDARDS to import your products.

We are specialized in DISTRIBUTION to the US, EU and Vietnam markets.

To set up a successful business in global markets, you must overcome many obstacles, such as locating a reliable manufacturer, dealing with international payments, establishing a production and quality control process, obtaining all necessary paperwork for your products, dealing with overseas shipments, creating creating a distribution process, and finally dealing with international taxation.

IMPORT-EXPORT consulting

The paperwork for global trading must be divided into three categories.

EXPORT LEGALIZATION

Most businesses that have never dealt with importing or exporting products from other countries have little experience dealing with potential problems that may arise. They often fall into the trap of purchasing goods with EXW Incoterms, only to be surprised when their shipments are held at the port and are unable to leave the country.

Because each country has its own regulations that we must adhere to, the documentation required differs by product type and export destination. We help make this process run more smoothly.

Here are some examples of common documents:

IMPORT LEGALIZATION

Clearing customs and importing goods into their final destinations are NOT simple tasks.

Importers who are inexperienced with international commerce may be required to return their goods to their place of origin, or, in the worst-case scenario, customs may confiscate and destroy the goods.

Because each country has its own regulations that we must adhere to, the documentations that are required differs by product type and export destination. We assist you in having a stress-free import process.

Here are some examples of common documents:

CUSTOMS CLEARANCE

The most critical step is to do an HS-Code analysis for the products you intend to trade with your company.

Most HS-Codes for a specific item are the same for worldwide trade, although they might differ from country to country.

Choosing the correct HS-Code for your goods is important and has a significant impact on your business because it influences the amount of export-import tax you must pay, as well as the certification and documentation requirements, which is why the HS-Code for your product should be chosen carefully.

The HS-Code will simplify the process by making it easier to identify the required documentation for your goods.

To do so, you’ll need a high degree of customs knowledge and understanding; with our assistance, you’ll be able to clear customs easily and quickly, granting you market access.

CONTRACT ADVISOR

We provide procurement/contract advice to our customers, as well as policy, contractual responsibility, and other contract/subcontract concerns.

The commonly used terms of sale, known as Incoterms, a set of 11 internationally recognized rules which define the responsibilities of sellers and buyers. Who is responsible for paying for and handling the cargo, as well as for insurance, documentation, customs clearance, and other logistical tasks.

EXW, FCA, FOB, FAS, CFR, CIF, CFR, CPT, CIP, DPU, DAP, DDP.

We assist you in negotiating the finest contract terms and conditions.

Securing your supply by finalizing and drafting the contract in your favor

Every importer would ideally engage staff to manage the purchasing of items from an overseas source, but this is not always a practical choice. Nonetheless, it is critical to have someone operating on your behalf since, unfortunately, not all international manufacturers are what they appear to be.

When you rely only on information obtained from a website to “secure” your source, you expose yourself to the potential that your so-called provider is a con artist. Enlisting the assistance of an import/export consulting expert like BLV assures that you are not paying money to a firm that does not even have a genuine factory.

We inspect the products for you on the ground, but if we are unable to do so, we collaborate with a large number of trusted inspection partners all around the world to ensure that items are of the highest quality before they are sent. The most essential thing is to understand the inspection procedure and what to look for; your security level is determined by these variables.

With our expertise, we can assist you in optimizing quality control and securing your shipments.

Shipping and logistics may be a huge challenge for global importers, exporters and they are sometimes entirely out of their control when they are new to it and lack the infrastructure to manage it from geographically diverse locations. We at BLV deal with customs clearance, air and sea freight on a regular basis, and we have our own logistic specialists and partners that manage our shipments without hurdles.

When you finalize your manufacturing in another country, you will require experience estimating your freights.

What are the optimal weights and sizes for your product packaging?
How many units are in a box, how many boxes are in a carton, how many cartons are in a 20-foot container, and how many cartons are in a 40-foot container?
Where is the best port to import/export?
What is the most efficient way to send your products?
What kind of labeling are required on the packaging?

Regardless of unusual circumstances, importers/exporters frequently face delivery delays, issues with missing documentation, or items that are not handled properly, all of which are generally the consequence of inadequate supply chain management. If you’re having trouble getting the items you want imported/exported in the professional and thorough manner required, it may be time to enlist the help of a partner who has the necessary skills.

There will be several questions to be answered, and our staff will assist you with their experience.

We are not a logistics firm, nor do we handle freight, but we are specialists with a large network of logistics partners.

Our LOGISTICS SERVICE exists solely to assist our clients and partners with our experience and link them with a suitable logistic company for the freight in order to create a win-win scenario for all parties involved.

Our objective is to grow together with all of our partners in order to build a beneficial, long-term, and sustainable partnership.
