FAQ
| FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS | |
| 1 | Are you a Government organization? |
| No, we are not a government organization. We are a non-profit organization. Our revenues are derived from the membership fee paid by both our importers and exporters using our service. | |
| 2 | Can you give some examples of exporters that have successfully concluded orders from your member importers? |
| No. By law we cannot disclose such transactions. Besides, the transactions are being done directly between the suppliers and our member importers. We will have no record of them. We will only come to know if they need assistance from us. But we do have some preferred suppliers that are willing to be listed on our Testimonials. | |
| 3 | Why can't I find email addresses of your member importers? |
| The email address of an importer is probably the first bit of data to become
outdated or invalid. Why? Simply because of the enormous and growing amount of
SPAM or JUNK emails that are being sent to
people and businesses from around the world. The unfortunate fact is, once we make known of our members' email addresses, the Spam artists will immediately begin sending their volumes of junk emails. Ultimately, the volume of the Spam becomes too burdensome and many people abandon their email address and set up a new one. This is why we do not disclose the email addresses of our members. You will get all the mail addresses and other contact information once we start the Importers Referral Program. |
|
| 4 | I have two entirely different products, how would you charge me? |
| If you choose to put on one web page under your name, then the charge will be one time. But we strongly suggest that you use two different web pages for different products as less confusing to importers. In addition, you get to be referred to the two different types of member importers for different products. If this is the case, you will enjoy 50% discount on the second web page. | |
| 5 | Why is your service different from other internet search engines? |

| 6 | How many pictures am I allowed to put on my web pages with you? |
| The maximum is six categories with 18 product pictures. But your web page will come together with the hyperlink to your corporate website, so it should suffice. | |
| 7 | Can I change the contents of the web pages later on? |
| Yes, you may. Please contact your local Representative or email to [email protected] | |

| - The mail server may be down. - The mail server may be too busy or capacity exceeded. - The mail server may be experiencing other problems, preventing it from responding to clients. - The communication path may be experiencing problems. - Addressed employee no longer works there. - The company has closed down. |
