Walter:
I read your first book last summer. I got it from the PAC. It's GREAT, and your updated book is just as GREAT, too!
Incidentally, I got involved in exporting to the UK last summer but, after duties & taxes + VAT, it was just not profitable, so I terminated that venture. (The UK's VAT is so confiscatory, I don't know how U.S. businesses can sell there.) Maybe it would be a different story had I sold zero-rated products, but I found few goods in the U.S. that are sold there and I didn't want to experiment.
Now, I'm studying your newest book and am exploring the viability of importing once again. Per your book, one major vendor I contacted via one of your recommended sites sent me an SGS product audit report. When I requested an SGS company audit report, they admitted they had an outdated 2014 report, but it was from Alibaba.
I know your thoughts about buying from vendors with "credentials" from Alibaba; however, given that this company is (supposedly?) a major manufacturer for Toyo, would you still take a pass? Does an SGS product report meet your criteria, or do I need an SGS audit report of the company?
Thank you!
