Risks are in HS classification，species compliance，and documents. HS depends on material (plastic，wood，horn). Wood uses 96159900.10. Horn combs must avoid endangered species (rhino horn banned)，require certificates of origin and legality. Do pre-classification to avoid fines. If branded，get authorization to avoid IP infringement. Get SGS test reports before import to ensure quality standards.

Combs are general cargo. Use Sea LCL; it's cheap for small batches. Use EXW/FOB and manage domestic clearance to control costs. Documents: Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, and Fumigation (for wood). HS duties are ~10% + 13% VAT. SE Asia is ~15 days, EU ~30 days. Plan inventory. Ensure goods descriptions match documents for inspection.

Approach as a 'Long-term Strategic Partner'. Show market plans (annual volume, channels). Demand samples and SGS reports. Use 30% T/T deposit + 70% against B/L copy. Stipulate 'Quality Objection Period' (e.g., 15 days after arrival) and 'Late Delivery Penalties' (e.g., 0.5% per day). Seek 'Exclusive Agency' as a chip and promise discounts for volume.
