International Sourcing
International Sourcing for Nepalese Requirements
What We Do
Finding the Right Equipment Outside Nepal
Where a specification goes beyond locally available stock, the answer is often international sourcing: identifying a suitable manufacturer, securing quotations and documentation, and bringing the equipment into Nepal. Trade terms such as EXW, FOB, CIF, CIP and DDP define who pays and bears risk at each point.
DNB investigates suitable international manufacturers, coordinates quotations, documents and samples, and manages international logistics including shipping, export and import documentation, customs and delivery to locations across Nepal.
- Manufacturers are identified against the specification and tender context
- Trade terms (Incoterms) define delivery, cost and risk allocation
- Customs duty, VAT and import procedures apply on arrival
- Landed cost should be checked against the tender price basis
Our role: We support the supply side of procurement : product identification, manufacturer coordination, documentation and delivery. We are not a legal, financial or general procurement consultancy.
