Proceso de importación de zapatos provenientes de China aplicando las formas de pago giro directo y carta de crédito.

Abstract

Importation is the legal entry of foreign products into the national territory and generally imports of products that are not produced domestically or when those do not meet the quality and / or price expectations of customers are made. In this sense, the Chinese market is a good option since, thanks to the Alibaba platform, the importer can contact different Chinese suppliers. However, there have been cases of companies that offer products at affordable prices but at the time the importer receives them at destination, the products are really different, in the case of imitations or of lower quality. That is why the selection of an international form and means of payment that reduces commercial risks is an important factor. Reason for which the objective is to determine the most suitable import process for shoes to enter Ecuador, considering the forms of direct payment and letter of credit. To this end, a descriptive, qualitative research has been carried out based on the bibliographic review to obtain the theoretical foundation that will later allow the development of the practical case. The results showed that the payment of 30% with direct money order and 70% with a confirmed irrevocable letter of credit guarantees the importer that the footwear that will arrive in Ecuador are exactly those requested, considering that the proof of inspection at origin issued by the verifier , is one of the documents that the exporter must present to the confirming bank.
