Select your foreign supplier(s) with care. You want the one who can supply the right product(s) for the right price at the right time. Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada can help you find the best foreign suppliers. 3. Make an effort to learn about the culture you will be dealing with. Cultural knowledge and sensitivity can help you establish positive working relationships with your suppliers. 4. Take time to go through a purchase agreement and ensure it covers all important and necesssary areas such as: Who pays the shipping costs? When do the goods have to be paid for? What happens if goods are damaged during shipping. 5. When the goods arrive, make sure everything you ordered is there and in good condition. Expect to pay import or custom duties based on either the value of goods, quantity or weight.
