[Column] Three Common Issues in Overseas Procurement of Processed Parts!

For those considering the import of overseas products to reduce component procurement costs, here are three representative risks to consider.

Our company, which solves customer challenges on a daily basis, receives various concerns. Among them, we would like to introduce three common issues regarding the overseas procurement of processed parts. 1. Quality Quality issues are arguably the most important factor in the production of processed parts. Especially for precision components, where geometric tolerances require micron-level accuracy, there is anxiety about whether to entrust an unfamiliar overseas factory. 2. Lead Time If there are issues such as deficiencies in the invoice that require verification of the cargo's intended use or material during customs procedures, the cargo can be held for about 1 to 5 days. This means that overseas transportation carries more risks regarding lead time compared to domestic shipping. 3. Additional Processing and Modifications If you want to make additional modifications to products received from overseas, there are few manufacturers that will handle just the additional processing, and sending items back to overseas factories is cumbersome. To address these concerns, we at Koshou NEXUS have established a procurement network of over 650 companies, both domestically and internationally, along with our own quality assurance system to resolve issues related to quality and lead time. We can also handle urgent additional processing and modifications through our domestic partner manufacturers, so feel free to entrust us with requests for additional processing only. 　　　　　　　　↓↓ Please take a look at our case study materials! ↓↓
