Seafood ireland, being an island at the edge of the atlantic ocean, has one of the largest territorial waters in western europe. Irish waters are well known for being clean and unpolluted. Ireland has one of the most advanced food industries in the world and standards are high. Many species of wild and farmed fish are available. Salmon, mussels, oysters, brown crab and lobster are available fresh, frozen or live.

There are over 100 tyre manufacturers in china. Many buy and sell other better known brands in the hope that they can introduce their own brand to an old customer. There are many fake chinese brands available, and many chinese tyres have a bad reputation. Based on surveys of chinese tyre users, and follow up with foreign buyers we have identified a number of the best brands.

Many countries now make available bills of lading for all imports. Some even make available invoice details. Aierland can act as the named buyer so that your company name does not appear on the bill of lading. Your rivals will not be able to know your source by using importgenius etc.

Due diligence requirements can be helped by our reports on the manufacturer done as per your specific requirements. Doing business in china is based on building relationships. While contracts and agreements are difficult to enforce, we recommend that you prepare documents which clarify the requirements and specifications and responsibilities of all concerned. In reality some would argue that legal contracts are worthless, our experience is that having something on paper does help to clarify the detail. This clarification can help in maintaining the all important relationships. Aierland can recommend law firms in hong kong, or china, and can help with document transpaltion.

Travelling in any new country can present a challenge. China is particularly difficult because very few people speak english, and most signs, announcements etc. Are in chinese. It becomes even more difficult in areas where local dialects are spoken. You may have an arrangement to meet a supplier who collects you from the airport, books a hotel and provides you with a company guide. If you wish to follow other leads and make arrangements to travel to other locations we recommend you have an independent guide. We will find other manufacturers, take care of the travel arrangements and be present as an interpretortranslator.

Before engaging aierland please be aware that it is very difficult to protect copyright in china. The national ethos and legal system do not support the concept of copyright. However steps may be taken to reduce the risk. We recommend that components be made in separate factories with no links to each other, and that final assembly be done in a third location. Aierland can help with this. We can also help you to register your copyright in china.

We provide inspection services. Inspection as a means of detecting failures in a processproduct or failure in a documented quality system is always useful. However, in china an equally crucial aspect is ‘being seen’ to have a presence. Much of the bad reputation ascribed to chinese products would be avoided if buyers had taken the time and expense to inspect each order.

Aierland has been asked to source a very diverse range of items. However several years of experience has led us to focus more in particular areas. We have learned how to tell middleman from manufacturer. We have also learned that appearances can be deceiving. The tidy looking business may be unreliable and the messy can be reliable. Demonstrating the use of a documented quality system may be a good sign, but the most important thing in China is ‘relationship’. 21 years experience in China helps!
