As the number of worldwide novel coronavirus (Covid-19) cases continues to increase at an unprecedented speed, healthcare providers around the world are struggling to keep up with the influx of patients and are desperately seeking the equipment they need to better protect themselves from contracting and spreading the deadly virus.
The ongoing pandemic has skyrocketed the global demand for PPE Kits and Disposable Bed Sheets. Despite the fact that a few nations produce and provide these medical devices locally, China continues to dominate the worldwide market being the largest PPE Kit Manufacturers. It’s no surprise that hundreds of international corporations and individual buyers are hurrying to get enormous amounts of protective equipment from China. The key concern is that global supply chain procurement is difficult, and purchasing and importing PPE kits from China has its own set of obstacles. We’ve put together some general procedures and recommendations in this write up that we believe will assist you in procuring personal protective equipment from China securely and lawfully.
#1. Identify The Medical Equipments
The first thing on your to-do list should be to precisely define the requirements of each piece of protective equipment to be sourced. Personal protective equipment (PPE) in China is divided into seven categories:
- Coronavirus Testing Kits
- Medical Protective Clothing Ventilators
- Respirators
- Surgical Masks
- Disposable Face Masks
- Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer
#2. Find Right PPE Manufacturers In China
As a foreign buyer of PPE Kit from China, you must first confirm that the manufacturing business you are contemplating purchasing from is allowed to export PPEs by the Chinese government. Check that the selected PPE Kit manufacturing firms of China have all of the required permissions and licences in both China and your home country to ensure that personal protective equipment may be shipped from China and imported into your country. Keep in mind that worldwide demand for PPE Kits is gliding, and that most Chinese manufacturing facilities are already overwhelmed with domestic orders. As a result, it’s critical to assess the manufacturer’s production capacity and turnaround time straight away, as this will save you time in trade negotiations with suppliers who may not be able to complete your order request in a timely manner (or at all).
#3. Place Your Order
Due to the sheer demands for PPE kits or disposable bed sheets in the current Covid-19 period, many PPE manufacturers in China require a deposit of somewhere between 30% and 50% up front, with the balance due upon completion of the order or shipping. However, because of the increased demand for protective gear, PPE manufacturers appear to have more clout in dictating payment conditions.
#4. Pre-shipment Sample Inspection
While licences and permits show that a manufacturer is capable of producing high-quality personal protective equipment, it is always your responsibility to ensure that your purchase meets quality requirements. As a result, you’ll need to hire a competent third-party quality assurance/control firm in China to verify the protective gear against the needed standard throughout manufacturing, after the order is completed, and before delivery.
If you follow these four instructions when purchasing large numbers of PPE KIT from China, we are confident that you will receive high-quality equipment in a safe and timely way.
