Topic #: 1
What might a buyer encounter if the supplier's government has introduced a protectionist measure?
Protectionist measures are policies implemented by governments to protect domestic industries from foreign competition. One common protectionist measure is the imposition of import duties, which are taxes levied on imported goods. These duties make imported products more expensive, encouraging consumers to buy domestic products instead. Buyers sourcing internationally must be aware of such duties as they directly impact the total cost of procurement.
Exact Extract from Study Guide:
'Furthermore, there are many potential cost considerations when importing goods which can include taxes & duties or storage costs. By understanding all key legal, regulatory and organizational requirements prior to sourcing from international suppliers, businesses can ensure compliance while also maximizing cost savings.'
