China Ready 2021 Series Session #6: Distribution Channels In China

When selling in a foreign market, companies will often transfer the goods at the port of origin under FOB (Free On Board) terms. In this webinar led by an industry expert from Dimerco, we will explore distribution channels for companies that would like to better understand the different supply chains in China or would like to manage their own distribution across the country.

Join us as we learn about warehousing and supplying your goods inside China.

Who this webinar will benefit:

• Executives of companies looking to enter the China market.
• Business development managers planning their growth strategies for the China market.
• Managers of companies working to pivot their current business footprint in China.
• Traffic managers looking to improve and grow distribution inside China.

Please note: the presentation will be given in English, and the Q&A session following the presentation will be held in English and French.

This session is free of charge for CCBC members in good standing, and $25+tax for non-members.
