Скачать или смотреть Greater China: Product Testing & Compliance

ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN IMPORTING IS KEEPING UP WITH THE CONSTANTLY EVOLVING RULES, REGULATIONS AND LAWS. GREATER CHINA'S DIRECTOR OF COMPLIANCE HAS MORE THAN 10 YEARS EXPERIENCE WORKING ON THE DISTRIBUTOR AND SUPPLIER SIDE OF THE BUSINESS, IN BOTH SOFT AND HARD LINE PRODUCTS.

Tabatha Bauer: Compliance is a full-time role for me. I can't imagine someone with no experience taking on this task. The fact that Greater China performs and coordinates all the testing for clients is a huge benefit. In today's safety conscious environment, we are very aware of the recalls, the penalties, the seized shipments that could happen so we take the utmost care with our products. Nothing ships from China unless it has passed testing.

GREATER CHINA TAKES A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO REGULATIONS. THEIR VENDOR NETWORK HAS 24/7 ACCESS TO GREATER CHINA'S ONLINE DATABASE OF PROTOCOLS THROUGH AN AUTOMATED PORTAL. GREATER CHINA CONSTANTLY MONITORS LEGISLATION AND WORKS WITH THIRD PARTY ACCREDITED LABS TO ENSURE EVERY PRODUCT IS UP TO IMPORT STANDARDS.

Tabatha Bauer: Each project is evaluated by myself, I assign the appropriate protocols. We execute the testing in China and ultimately share the test report with our clients.

GREATER CHINA HAS A DEDICATED TEAM BOTH IN THE U.S. AND SHANGHAI OFFICES THAT FOCUSES SOLELY ON PRODUCT TESTING AND COMPLIANCE. THEY COMMUNICATE DAILY WITH THEIR 3RD PARTY LAB PARTNERS WHO DILIGENTLY WORK ON TESTING ALL ORDERS.

Michael Parks: We're above 90% of our competition when it comes to testing and compliance issues. It's very complex; it's hard to stay on top of. Many of our competition are taking shortcuts, and this just puts their clients at risk. Their goods could be seized, they could be held, they could miss a very important event date. At Greater China, we don't ship anything unless it has passed all the compliance and all the testing.

WITH ALL THE STEPS TAKEN AND SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE, SOMETIMES THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENS AND A PRODUCT FAILS TESTING STANDARDS. IN THAT CASE, GREATER CHINA HOLDS THEIR VENDOR ACCOUNTABLE AND REQUIRES A CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN.

Tabatha Bauer: We take a failed test report very seriously. My compliance team and the production group work with the factory to resolve the issue. No product leaves China without a passing retest result.

GREATER CHINA STRIVES TO MAKE THE COMPLIANCE, TESTING AND TOTAL IMPORT PROCESS EASY AND STRESS-FREE FOR THEIR CLIENTS.

Woody Wojdylak: I spent a lot of time importing myself and ran into every possible trial and tribulation along the way. I came to a relationship with Greater China knowing that they had everything in place to ease my mind and our minds at BAC & Associates.
