1)
be
careful while quoting chinese brokers in China, do not give them
Pictures , date codes or any such critical information which would
facilitate them in making counterfeits.
2) Be careful while quoting to anyone who is directly or indirectly
selling to chinese brokers.
Do not give them complete information without purchase order
3) Make sure you have firm terms and conditions if parts are supplied
to Mainland china/hongkong
directly or indirectly by your buyer
4) Have a policy of No Cancel / No return/ no guarantee/ no
warranty if parts are sold directly or indirectly to
mainland China or Hongkong or any Chinese buyers trying to buy even
from their offices worldwide.
5) Make sure companies like Brokerforum or ERAI do not play a game with
you to protect their members and
to protect their business interest with such scamist.
6) Do not trust fake reports or reports created on fake parts of china.
Even
if you wish to accept their report,
please make sure they did not perform wrong test to obtain the report.
Get the name and type of test performed.
Make sure they did not perform mil grade tests on your commercial
parts. (this
is very
important) 7) Always
keep records , documents, pictures of original parts, and if
possible retain few samples of original parts which can
be used to prove your parts AND for further
investigation.
8) Take an
affidavit from buyer that he/she would not sell to china and
if they do so you will not be responsible
9) No
refunds/ No RMA shall be given to parts supplied to China or any
parts go to china even if agencies like ERAI ask
you to do so. In past some scamist successfully managed
to use ERAI.
10) Avoid
non-technical companies to do arbitration who has vested
interest in Chinese business for eg. ERAI, TBF or any such
platform.
11) Avoid
doing escrow to Chinese companies which will facilitate them in
switching replacing your original parts with fake ones
12) never
give net terms to any known or unknown chinese brokers in notorious
cities like shenzhen, chaoyang etc.
13) Receive
full money in advance from Chinese buyers when they choose
to buy
14) Never
buy military grade parts from china, which most of brokers in
America and Europe do. Many critical parts could bring
in bad circumstances even if they pass electrical tests.
