For hundreds of years, Thailand has been considered one of the most developed countries in Asia. The Second World War caused serious damage to the Thai economy, after which Thailand increased its capacity for a long time. Since 1991, after the coup d'état, the country began to develop again at a faster pace: the automotive industry and agriculture improved.

Today, Thailand has firmly taken the leading position in the world in the production of rice, auto parts, raw rubber and latex. In recent years, more and more natural cosmetics, exotic leather, household and sports goods, clothing, jewelry, agricultural products (chicken, pork, fruits and vegetables) have been exported. According to my estimates, rice, clothes, cosmetics and auto parts make up about 90% of exports from Thailand to Russia.

National features

The Thais are friendly and easygoing people, so doing business with them is quite easy. Once in Thailand, everyone will be able to notice the charming national trait of the Thais - a smile, an integral part of the philosophy of "sanuk", which in Russian means "live with pleasure." Thais smile almost always: when they feel good, sad, bad, even when they are angry. For this, Thailand is called the “Land of Smiles”.

But there are several "forbidden zones" in working with Thais. For example, you should avoid any negative statements about the royal family, which occupies a special place in the hearts of the Thais, and since their king is equated with a semi-divine person, any harsh statement about him can put an end to business relations. It is also necessary to show respect and tolerance for the main religion of the country - Buddhism.

Thais always control themselves well and expect the same from their partners, so even if you are negotiating in an informal setting, you should keep this in mind. But what is really worth stocking up when dealing with Thai contractors is patience, because entrepreneurs there carefully weigh every little thing before making a decision.

In general, Thailand is dominated by mature, big business, but there are also a large number of newly born young companies. Communication and doing business with Russians for Thai businessmen is a common thing, because our compatriots have long been accustomed to our compatriots there thanks to the massive tourist flow and a number of agreements at the state level (for example, in relation to the production of rubber).

Finding a supplier in Thailand

The main advantages of working with Thailand are inexpensive labor and the accommodating of local producers who are not spoiled. wholesale buyers from abroad and are ready to reduce purchase prices in favor of customers. At the same time, the quality of the final product does not suffer at all, and the products produced in the country sometimes surpass European ones. For example, Thai cosmetics, which have proven themselves on the world stage, are 50-60% cheaper than analogues from Europe. The largest Thai cosmetics store is WellDee, in just three years of its existence, it has already served more than 130,000 customers around the world. One of the most popular areas of cooperation Russian entrepreneurs with Asian countries - the textile industry. At the same price, the quality of products made in Thailand is on average 1.5 times higher than, for example, in China. And the cost work force in China - about 2.50 dollars per hour, in Thailand - 1.70 dollars per hour.

Entrepreneurs wishing to export goods from Thailand should start by looking for a supplier. This problem can be easily solved in three different ways: sales representative on site, online or specialized exhibitions.

The first method, the search for a sales representative, is, of course, the most convenient and reliable. A trusted person on the spot will help you find and check the counterparty through national registers, personally verify the quality of the offered goods, and also help to conclude an agreement and control the shipment. The cost of work depends on the volume of purchases and is not at all high in relation to the acquired benefits. As a rule, for their services, the traders presented take up to 10% of the contract value. Knowledge of the language is not required, because most of the companies representing the interests of our compatriots are Russian, however, registered in Thailand as a legal entity and permanently residing on the territory of the "Land of Smiles". When selecting a sales representative, it is important to look at the reviews on the forums and in in social networks where they are usually placed.

You can work with Thai companies without intermediaries. Many local manufacturers, in an effort to increase export volumes, translate their websites into English and try to rank high in Google search results. There are also those who offer their goods in the well-known Alibaba wholesale purchasing system. Finding a supplier on the Internet is by far the cheapest, but also the most risky way. Unfortunately, there is also a chance of getting caught in a network of scammers in Thailand, although to a lesser extent than, for example, in China. The most common method of deception is the disappearance of a supplier after receiving an advance payment.

You can reduce your own risks by personally selecting a supplier at specialized exhibitions. Participation in them for scammers is quite expensive and therefore ungrateful. Thailand annually organizes many professional exhibition events on a variety of topics. The largest business events are held in Bangkok in two exhibition centers: Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Center (BITEC) and IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center. On the website of the centers you can see information about upcoming events at English language. But novice entrepreneurs will have to spend a lot of money: visiting an exhibition is not the cheapest pleasure, because you will have to pay not only the entrance ticket, but also the flight, accommodation, translator, etc. The cost of such a selection of a supplier will cost the entrepreneur, according to the most conservative estimates, approximately 100,000 rubles, with that airline tickets will account for the majority of that cost, roughly 70%.

You can save money by hiring a local representative who will collect all the necessary information, prepare a photo report and ask all your questions to the stand attendants at the exhibition. The price for such a fee business cards will cost 12,000 rubles.

Logistics issues with Thailand are sometimes even easier to solve than with China. Here you can rarely encounter a simple goods at customs. On average, air delivery from Thailand will take no more than four days, and by sea, cargo arrives in 45. All manufacturers in Thailand use the international Incoterms rules, which determine who pays for shipping and insurance and is responsible for the goods. The most commonly used formats are EXW and FCA. With EXW, the goods are taken by the buyer from the seller's warehouse specified in the contract, payment of export duties is charged to the buyer. And with FCA, the goods are delivered to the main carrier of the customer, to the departure terminal specified in the contract, the export duties are paid by the seller. These formats, as a rule, are prescribed in the contract, and you should pay attention to this.

Cosmetics from Thailand - tangible benefits for both the body and the wallet!

Thai women look younger than European women. In many ways, the "culprits" of the youth of taeks are racial and genetic characteristics. But another secret lies in the cosmetics used by women in Thailand. This cosmetics has a considerable number of significant advantages.

First of all, it should be noted here that almost all cosmetics, which are produced in Thailand, contain only natural ingredients. These are components such as algae, oils, extracts of tropical trees and plants, minerals. Even if the creation of a particular tool uses chemical elements, then there are very few of them.

Thai cosmetics are mostly hypoallergenic. For skin on which irritations, rashes and overly sensitive skin appear, Thai cosmetics are a real salvation. All cosmetics created in Thailand have a light structure and a pleasant aroma. Therefore, for any type of skin, they are just perfect.

Solution

Hello,

provisions of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation "On licensing certain types activities" (http://www.consultant.ru/document/cons_doc_LAW_173448/), do not provide for mandatory licensing of activities for the sale of cosmetic products.

In relation to cosmetic products in Russia, a declaration of conformity is provided. Also, in relation to cosmetic products, a mandatory hygienic assessment is provided. For import, production and further sale on the territory of the Russian Federation in without fail conformity is declared. That is binding document serves as a declaration of conformity, a certificate of state registration and test reports. Declaration of cosmetics is carried out in stages - a certificate of state registration, a certificate of conformity and certificates of certification tests are issued.

Samples of products are provided to the certification center and Required documents: contract between the importer and the manufacturer or supplier of the product, founding documents importer's company, quality certificate and packaging layout, or rather the information part (information for the consumer). This document contains the following information: product description, raw material composition, precautionary measures, method of application. To calculate the cost and number of declarations, protocols and certificates of state. registration, you must send a list of products indicating the composition of each product.
then laboratory tests of type samples of cosmetic products will be carried out. For laboratory testing, 3 samples are provided for each type of cosmetic product. Clinical trials, physicochemical and microbiological tests are being carried out. After this procedure, the laboratory issues a test report, the number of which will be included in the declaration of conformity. The certificate of state registration is issued by the bodies of Rospotrebnadzor and is issued indefinitely.
Further, on the basis of previously received test reports and a registration certificate, cosmetics are declared, which implies the issuance of a declaration of conformity.
