Company name: Should not include ‘trading’

Product test reports: SGS, BIFMA,etc

Some manufacturers also provide factory audit reports on their Alibaba.com profile, which are free to download. These are issued by highly reputable third parties, such as Intertek or Bureau Veritas.

Purchasing agents can contact a variety of top ergonomic chair  manufacturers and/or suppliers to find the products you need. Note, however, that you will pay more attention to the price because the purchasing agent will charge a sales commission.

 

If you do have time to visit the manufacturer, supplier, or retail store in person. You may have problems communicating with sales representatives. That’s because most of them don’t speak English. Some don’t even offer transportation. In these cases, it is also a good idea to hire a purchasing agent. They can be your interpreters when talking to agents. They can even handle the export for you.

 

Purchasing agents usually ask for 3-5% of sales to handle shipping. You can evaluate if you need such an agent to handle the business for you.
