    My mistake was not getting the inspection done since I was dealing with the manufacturer for a long time. Eventually learned from that though!

      @@SourcingWithKian Yes yes yes :) I am planning to develop my own product so just learning everything about it. It is quite scary and exciting at the same time since it is an electronic product. I remember even you mentioned that a good way to move forward the product is to have my own production line.

    Great content, Kian! Can you please comment this case: if a manufacturer has not verified certifications but on the Alibaba Shop Page they have illustrations of multiple certifications, are they trustable? Do you suggest to request them a copy of the certificate? Thank you.
    P.s. The link to the roadmap is broken.

    Hi Kian! One question: Do you recommend seeking professional help when it comes to drafting the final contract with a manufacture when the negotiation about the product is done? Or is there something like a reliable contract template that could be enough ? Appreciating each of your videos!!

      For manufacturer contracts, it makes sense if it’s for a large PO. I'd consider these points:
      - If using templates, use industry-specific templates as a starting point
      - Ensure clear communication to prevent misunderstandings. Don’t skip on these Elements: pricing, quality, IP, timelines, disputes. A SPEC sheet and QC manual would be wiser spent in my book.
      Basically, a contract is as good if you are willing to enforce it. Ask yourself, if it’s small PO, would it be worth pursuing in court? If it’s a significant PO, a solid contract is an investment in your business's future.

    Great info, Kian! For me the information provided is very useful. My fist brand was developed in Europe, in my country, but this second brand that I want to launch will be developed in China. For this I need to learn how to proceed with the suppliers.
    Thank you! Could you share the spreadsheet with us ? :D

      Any shipment that lands in the USA gets put on there, but if you want to make sure your company info does not appear just google 'Electronic Vessel Manifest Confidentiality' and hit the first link, that will take your info off customs public records.
