Q: Do I need to address compliance in every country worldwide?

A: Certainly! To sell your product in a particular country, compliance is a must. However, the responsibility for compliance doesn't always fall solely on you. Often, we've assisted by preparing the required documentation and tests, allowing the local distributor to take care of the registration process.

Q: Do I need to make an upfront payment for compliance?

A: It varies. In some instances, we've directly registered in key countries, while in others, we established subsidiary companies to facilitate registration across multiple regions. Alternatively, we've partnered with distributors who handled the expenses and, in return, received discounts, exclusive rights, or compensated goods.

Q: What's the best approach if I aim to export but want to avoid incurring expenses without local distributors on board?

A: Get ready by prepping as much as possible. For instance, with chemical products, ensure you have Safety Data Sheets and labels for each country in the respective languages. Translate the Certificate of Analysis and get it notarized, and understand the required efficacy testing and standards in each country. Identify the authorized labs for the testing.

Q: Where are the areas to cut costs and enhance compliance success?

A: Firstly, getting all documents ready in the appropriate language can save several weeks. Secondly, our team can connect you with certified labs that conduct necessary tests more rapidly or at a reduced cost while maintaining the required standards. Thirdly, our scientists can assess test criteria to optimize success within established standards for your product. Lastly, our scientists can create devices or tools to enhance the testing process and overall success rate.
