He knew of our reputation as a supplier to several US companies and asked for some samples. The samples were valued at a few hundred dollars with a postal fee around one thousand dollars. We offered him the samples since he said that he knew people in the industry and promised to pay the UPS postal charge. We sent him quality samples of the same product sold to our American customers, using the UPS account that he advised us to use.
but he refused to pay the postal charge when he received the samples, saying that they were not what he wanted ! Since UPS failed to collect the payment from him, our company was charged and held responsible for the 1200 US dollars. He also tried to hold his customer who we’ve had no dealing with, accountable for this fee.
he escaped from us by rejecting email or calling, what shall we do to get back the amount we paid?

You may wish to have a look at the following post that involves a similar question. http://resources.alibaba.com/topic/213635/Client_refuses_to_pay_the_charge_of_custom_clearance_.htm?message=299143. Whenever the postage is more than the value of sample itself, you need to think twice before sending them out.
