The truth is that every importer will be confronted with a claim sooner or later and he/she has to be prepared for it.
The most appropriate legal definition of a claim, applicable to importers, is “the making of a demand (asserting a claim) for money due, for property, for damages or for enforcement of a right.” If the demand is not honored, it may result in a lawsuit.
There are various reasons for a claim but you will be mainly faced with:
- Copyright Infringements
- Patent Infringements
- Non Compliance with laws of the destination countries
- Major Quality Issues
- Late Or Incomplete Deliveries
If you believe that this could not happen to you, think twice.
