CIPS Exam L4M4 Topic 3 Question 13 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M4 exam
Question #: 13
Topic #: 3
[All L4M4 Questions]

Steff is a procurement manager at Giant Buttons Ltd who are considering offshoring a small section of their manufacturing operations. Which of the following is a risk of offshoring that Steff should consider.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The correct answer is importation rules and tariffs. This is because in offshoring some of the manufacturing will be done in another country then shipped back to the UK. The products will have to go through customs so may be subject to tariffs and duties.

Steff's not exporting anything in the scenario and paying electronically and getting lower costs are not RISKS.

I'm going with A and B. Those tariffs can really add up and bite you in the you-know-what. Better to be safe than sorry, am I right?

Lower operating costs? Hmm, I don't know about that. Sounds too good to be true. Steff better do their homework on the hidden costs of offshoring.
