Beginner's guide to importing - understand the business of importing

There are several people who enter a business without proper initiation, training, knowledge or research..

This has led to several financial and job losses, business closures and unnecessary heartache..

The business of importing is one such area in which many business people have been caught unaware because they either didn’t know how to start it or didn’t bother to check how the business works and the checks and balances that needs to be considered..

SEEK . LEARN . KNOW . GROW is the motto of this blog and in line with this motto, I thought why not write a guide to assist those who are interested in understanding and learning the process of how import works and apply that knowledge to their business and hopefully avoid aforementioned disasters..

This guide which has been very creatively titled as “Beginner’s Guide to Importing” is recommended for first time importers, regular importers, traders, entrepreneurs, freight forwarders and trade financiers..

If your niche is in

Growing your import business
Developing new import markets
Handling import businesses

then this guide is for you..

In order to get a full understanding of the subject, it is recommended that you read this guide all the way through, at least once, and then it may be used as a reference guide as and when needed..

Good luck with the importing.. There will be a few more guides like this, so stay subscribed..

  Hi Adbeladim, yes it is possible but in some cases depends whether the manifest has been filed or not at the destination.. If there is still time, it can be done..
