Working with suppliers in this city
Pharmaceutical and food suppliers must be screened for their licences and inspection history before sampling, because the buyer carries the compliance risk at the destination. For textiles, confirm fibre content, colour fastness and shrinkage test reports. Food exporters should provide a full traceability chain from raw material to finished lot.
