Never import just for the sake of making a profit. There are many pitfalls and you must have a REALLY trustworthy supplier. One of the downfalls is that you have to pay up front, which wrecks your cash flow. Guarantees are often non existent or if the wrong or faulty goods are sent, you are stuck with it. Language suddenly becomes a problem.

Only import what you really have to, even if the local product is 10% more expensive. At least you can negotiate with the local supplier (NB supplier - not agent). You may also get credit terms which will allow you to pay even after you have sold the goods.
