How do foreign trade companies operate and what are their business processes?

Basically, they are contacted by emaile, skype, msn and telephone. E-mail is the main contact tool because it has legal effect.

Customer inquiry-seller quotation-negotiation-discuss details (packaging, logo, size, specification, color, weight, etc. )-send pi to confirm the order-production-send pl- contact the freight forwarder-delivery.

It depends on what mode of transportation the customer takes, such as air express. If it is shipped by sea, the freight forwarder will issue the bill of lading (remember to ask the customer whether it is power unloading or original bill of lading). If it is the original, the seller needs to send the original bill of lading and the original CI to the customer for customs clearance.

As for the mode of payment, our company will contact TT in advance. We will deliver the goods after receiving the full payment.
