Al Grossman asks, "Are You Ready to Place Your First International Order?"
* Who will do your freight forwarding?
* Can your licensed customs broker arrange for the bond required by U.S. Customs?
* Do you have a place to store and redistribute the product, or do you plan to use a public warehouse or fulfillment service to handle this for you?
* If you have a facility, does it have a dock for unloading and reshipping?
* Have you met with an experienced business casualty insurance agent?
* Have you used "reasonable care" in the entrance of goods and "informed complaince" in your record keeping?
* Have you send a copy of your documents (packing list, invoice, certificate of origin, etc) to your customs broker to assist with pre-clearance efforts?
