In particular, SMP GROUP is also an active member of trade associations, business associations in Vietnam and partner countries. We also maintain close relationships with local authorities, socio-professional organizations in the host country to promote trade cooperation.
Elimination of all barriers in international imports
Why does a customer need an intermediary for the import of international goods? Here are the reasons:
1. Language barrier: During transaction and purchase process, customers will often have to communicate with foreign partners. It will be difficult for both sides if there is a language barrier. A customer will not be able to reach a commercial agreement with a supplier without fully understanding the supplier’s products or customer policies. At the same time, language differences also make it difficult for customers to resolve legal procedures with the customs.
Meanwhile, customers no longer have to worry about language issues when there is an intermediary like SMP GROUP, because we will become the most dedicated “interpreters” on behalf of customers in transactions, negotiations, information exchange with foreign partners.
2. International payments: International financial transactions are not easy, need to be based on the laws of the host country, require foreign currency conversion and international and domestic means of payment (domestic bank cards, domestic e-wallets). International transactions can also be risky.
Due to SMP GROUP’s services, international payments become easier, because we have a full range of reliable tools for financial transactions as well as the ability to promptly handle any risks in the payment process.
3. Legal issues: International import and export always comes with a lot of legal regulations and procedures, requiring importers to have good preparation for the smooth import process. Besides, importers need to know how to handle all kinds of legal documents (Who provided? Which agency approved? How to declare?, etc.). In addition, there are different laws in different countries regarding international trade, international financial transactions, international transport, etc.
When coming to SMP GROUP, customers will be fully consulted and supported on legal issues, we always ensure the highest legal conditions for goods to be successfully delivered to customers.
4. International shipping: International shipping requires a system of transportation and storage facilitiese. Not every customer has a mean of transportation or warehouse in a convenient location, in the case of a rental, the price will be very high. Therefore, choosing a reputable intermediary with comprehensive import services including international shipping such as SMP GROUP will help customers save time, resources, materials.
