Inventors can run into problems getting their inventions manufactured overseas.
These problems can be severe because entrepreneurs have to pay for their products before they get a chance to inspect them. Therefore, they can easily end up with a container full of the wrong product with no option of returning it. One way to avoid this problem is to work with an import reseller, a company that arranges for production and quality and then brings the product into the United States under its ownership. Buying from an import reseller ends up being no riskier than buying from an American manufacturer. Import resellers often advertise in the back of trade magazines.
