Have you ever thought of directly importing some of your high volume use or sales items from overseas (China or India). It seems pretty easy and there are hundreds of "traders" eager for your business. But before you start counting your savings, you better consider some of these hassles:

1. Paying for goods well in advance of their receipt (normally 60-90 days).
2. Ordering excessively large quantities from an unproven supplier
3. Dealing with unknown entities in countries that do not respect our business laws.
4. Poor quality controls. Sometimes your inspection and rejection costs are higher than the savings.
   
5. Finding the true factory producing the goods vs. dealing with a man, a phone and a computer.
6. Arranging economical logistics – freight, duty, customs, etc.
7. Ensuring goods have suitable registrations necessary for their sale in North America (ie FDA or Health Canada). 

Over the years we have gone through most of the above at one point or another but now we have "factories" that deliver savings plus quality. As well as developing and marketing our own branded products, Keybo aids companies in sourcing & developing products through our established network of factories that are ISO certified, FDA registered, CE certified and licensed with Health Canada.

If you are looking to source an economical manufacturer of emergency response products, we provide a good balance of delivering offshore savings with North American levels of service. We can extend terms similar to what you would receive when dealing with a local company, quote landed prices (including freight, duty & taxes) and reduce the excessive minimum order requirements many factories demand.
