1) Inquiry quality is very important.
Make sure that you include the relevant, concise and detailed information in your inquiries so potential partners can quickly decide how best to meet your needs.
2) Maintain communications throughout the trade process.

3) Consider prioritizing quality over low price.
Many suppliers can offer very low prices, but in order to make sure you get precisely what you need, focus on making sure that your potential partner can deliver on quality standards before getting too caught up in price negotiations.
Wishing you the very best of business,
