I have not experienced this before. However, younger sister did this before. She ordered signatured cosmetic products to be sold in my country before. I must say that it is a good business.

Have you ever gone into importation? What was your experience like? is it really a profitable venture?

The conditions of importation business is really poor in our country due to the fact that our country does not have enough foreign reserves and foreign exchange in order to pay the companies that tend to export products to our country.

I have never tried importation business before, though i heard it is pretty lucrative. But like every other business it also comes with its own share of risk as well

Importation business is very lucrative business in Nigeria. Now in Nigeria, importers are importing virtually anything including Nigerian stable foods. Though, it is quite lucrative but governments should try to regulate importation in Nigeria because is killing indigenous companies.

importation is a good venture especially if the products to be sold has a ready market like for example chocolates. I admit my country no matter how much they say on the good quality of our cacao seeds cannot equal the chocolates being imported. d I would still prefer eating imported chocolates like toblerone, cadburry, lindt than the local ones.

I have never done any importation of any manner before. However the people that are doing it say that it's very profitable and lucrative. I however show the interests in it then.

My brother in law imports shoes from China to sell in my country. He makes three times the landing price for each shoe. And they are always willing to replace defective shoes.

I've actually bought some items on Amazon some years ago and I had the product shipped to me in my country which I received successfully but I will not really consider it as being into importation because they are not the same thing.

I really do not have any kind of experience about importance one at the moment. there are people who import products from China at a cheap price in this part of the world and the resale them at a higher price. It is one of the businesses I want to venture into.

importation Business is profitable and lucrative. But comes with its own share of risk as well so it is good to read up about it before indulging in it now

I have imported goods for personal use but never imported them for business purposes. There are a lot of paper words involved in this business, you also need a lot of money to get started.

It is true that there are lots of bureaucracy you have to work out before being able to bring it goods from other countries. I don't have time for all those stress. So, I don't do importation.

You are very correct with that assessment because importation business is something that is capital intensive and is not something that everyone can get into because of the amount of money that is required.

Importation business is actually risky business but it is lucrative. You need to make the necessary connections in order to be able to maximize profit.
