Análisis de los procesos administrativos y logísticos de importación de televisores led Samsung bajo negociación FOB desde China hacia Ecuador.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to analyze the administrative and logistical procedures for importing Samsung LED TVs from the Chinese market to Ecuador using the FOB Incoterm. Thus, more knowledge was generated about the import processes from the Chinese market and it was possible to determine the logistics required for the international transportation of the merchandise. In order to carry out the research, documents were analyzed to corroborate the correct application of the customs law and bibliographic reviews of scientific articles to support the theoretical framework. It was determined that negotiations under the FOB Incoterm generate greater control for the buyer over the shipping costs of the merchandise, and therefore lower cost is obtained in the final good, and thus establish a more competitive retail price. This study generates an updated knowledge of administrative and logistical procedures that must be carried out to import from China and is established as a basis for future research or market studies to be carried out. It is necessary that importers constantly update their knowledge to apply correct import processes since the world market is changing in economic policies.
