Know what sells in your Country
Paint brush is a personal product for most consumers. A radically different brush would disengage them. So do some research to know what sells in your region before starting your enquiry. The brush manufacturer will have no clue what specification is selling in your country or region. So there is no point of having a catalogue for exports, as every aspect of the brush spec influences the Paint brush cost. This in-turn misleads the customer a lot.
Know your Spec
To avoid waste of valuable Time, when reaching out to paintbrush manufacturers, it’s vital to clearly map out the specifications you need. Major importers, such as DIY chains, do not request a catalog of the Paint brush to the manufacturers. Instead, they provide detailed specifications for the paint brushes they need. This includes information on brush size, filament type, handle material, and intended use. By preparing a comprehensive list of these specifications beforehand, you can streamline the communication process and ensure that the manufacturers understand your exact requirement.
Know your Price
Paint brushes may appear similar at first glance in catalogue, but there can be major differences in the materials used, leading to variations in price. A costlier version may offer better quality and durability but would overshoot your budget, while a cheaper option might not meet your quality expectations. Relying solely on photos can be misleading for both you and the brush manufacturer. To avoid any disappointments after negotiations, it’s important to keep your target price in hand before enquiry. By clearly communicating your budget and expectations upfront, you can ensure that you find the right paintbrushes that meet your quality standards without exceeding your financial limits.
Know your tariff
In today’s international trade, it’s essential to understand your country’s tariff structure for paintbrushes, specifically with its relevant HSN code. Tariffs can significantly impact your ‘landing cost,’ which is the final cost of getting the paint brush to your doorstep, including shipping and duties. Depending on the country you purchase from, a higher-priced paint brush might actually end up being more affordable once all costs are considered, while a lower-priced paint brush from another country could end up higher in overall expenses. By researching and factoring in these tariffs, you can make more informed purchasing decisions and optimize your costs effectively.
Know your compliances
Every country has its own compliance mandates for importing products, and today’s end consumers are too knowledgeable about these regulations. To ensure a smooth import process for paint brushes, it’s important to research the specific norms and requirements in your country. Before sending a Request for Quotation (RFQ) to the brush manufacturer, inform them of these necessary compliance standards. By doing so, you can save both parties valuable time and money, avoiding potential delays or issues during the importation process. The reason is compliances required for the paint brushes too influences the cost per piece.
