    thanks for your response. If I came across as ranting and raving - I need to reconsider my communication skills - you are absolutely right and I have purposefully avoided doing this. I will admit to being frustrated however. I was hoping to try and understand the process - hence my request. I also saw an opportunity to be able to assist in creating something that other people such as myself could use. I will perserve. thnx

    Lesley - you most certainly didn't come across as ranting at all. I just know how frustrating this sort of thing can be so please consider the comment as preventative medicine

    (Maybe I'm the one who needs to work on my communication skills )

    Exactly why the site is here and I thank you for helping with that. Let's hope that someone cruises through that can help you too.

    Import code

    Hi

    We are experiencing a similar problem and will appreciate any help or suggestions.

    As a small partnership we are not VAT registered as we have not reached the required turnover level yet. We want to import wedding albums produced in Europe and need to apply for an import code, but SARS have advised that they will not issue one unless the business is VAT registered.

    Where does that leave us? Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Dori and Cormac

    Why not just register for VAT?

    You are going to have to pay VAT on the imported value, surely. If you are are going to resell to registered VAT vendors, being VAT registered would be more efficient/competitive.

    Hi Proffessor,

    What sort of volumes are you looking at? If sufficient volumes, it may be worth you coming out to Shenzhen (Just over the border to HK), and meeting some suppliers.

    Unfortunately, this type of product can be very problematic so you need ensure the quality is good.

    If smaller amounts, there is a very interesting electronics market in Shenzhen, and you can get some very good deals there...

    Try ensure you get FOB Hong Kong as part of your contractual terms.

    You might want to check out Alibaba, HKTDC, or Global Sources for suppliers, but BE CAREFUL!

    Hi Proffessor:

    I am a Chinese ,but i amnot in electronic equipment field. Just wanna say something
    In China :
    1.Most supplier are reliable, because how to establish a long-term business is crucial to a company . No boss likes to do one business ,and let money gone .Perhaps in the process of cooperation with some unhappy things .If we all do our best to resolve it ,Also can achieve win-win situation.
    2.Another part supplier we cann't say they are unbelievable from they are inbeing, sometime they can not hold the measure. such as cost contral ,quality , leadtime......OR they are not as professional as they say. So the problem is appear.
    3.Let's say Cheat , Cheat is most hated. we sell products to customer ,we also want to prevent cheated. but how , what we can do if we are cheated .

    so while you earn money, at the same time you should learn how to protect youself ,to prevent being cheated.

    Common saying : there is no free lunch. Donot believe very very low prices (lower than product cost), very very short delivery time(anything need process)

    Regards

    Now my questions:

    • Must this product be approved by any SA institution as well? If yes, where?

    • What kind of license must be optained that allows me to import and sell the product?


    • How would the import procedure look like? What are the costs involved?


    Thank you for your help!
