Im starting to import Chinese cell phones mainly from the CECT company i did my first shipment by UPS the last week (30 pcs) and everythinh was ok i paid my taxes and i recive my goods. After seen that everything goes well i ask for 45 pcs to my CHina suplyer and he sent them but this time the customs in my country are asking me for a FREE SALE CERTIFICATE from CECT that acredits me to sell this telephones i talk with my suplyer in CHina and he told me that he never heard about this certificate from cect or something similar and he can not give me this paper

    CECT is a leading mobile phone brand in China. They are one company in the Cosun group which is listed on the American NASDAQ under the tag "xing". You'll find CECT only if you search for "CEC Telecom". My company does much business with the Cosun group in which respect we are the only authorised agent in Australia and one of few in EU.
     
    About 30% of all CECT phones sold in the domestic market in China are fake (yes, the business of making and selling fake Chinese brands within China itself is quite huge).
    .  
    The only genuine CECT models which are exported are via a few licensed agents and also via direct sales to large phone Carriers. Pretty near 100% of all exports via traders of the sort you find on Alibaba are fake. You have almost certainly bought fake CECTs.   
    .  
    Fake Chinese made phones slip into foreign markets usually undetected in express courier bags such as DHL in small volumes of 1 to 6 per order. However, all phone companies work closely with Customs in every country to the effect that larger brand name shipments in non-courier bags such as your 50 phones are pretty near always impounded by Customs. 
    .  
    While I have no sympathy for deliberate imports of fake brands and particularly brands I deal in, I can see you are an innocent victim here.  
     
    You said in the Mobile Phones Forum that no CECT labels are on the phonnes or the boxes. Your best shot is to try to convince your Customs that these are not CECT phones. You might start by getting your supplier to issue a fresh Commercial Invoice which does not describe the phones as CECT (complete with a letter stating that the previous Invoice was issued by "mistake" and that the CECT name on the AWB is also an error). Then hire a Customs consultant in your country to present that paperwork to your Customs. 
     
    That's a long shot but it may just work. Otherwise my friend you are up the creek without a paddle and your Customs will destroy these fake phones. In other respects I'm happy to see that Mexican Customs are on the ball.
     
    The lesson here is that brand protection units of all phone companies do not put resources into preventing the Alibabas of this world from publishing selling leads for fake phones. They put most of their resources into working closely with Customs in every country to impound and destroy non-courier bag shipments.

    i think   the exporting customer need to protect the importing customer by assisting him or her

    by supling  the nessasery documents required in normal and honest in other to promote business

    relationship.

    thanks and God bless.

    yours faithfully.

  •                 i seldom import electronic products from China,as there are many copier ,so they can not provide some CE ,last year, when i imported 86 pcs mobilephone from lywholesale which you can find on google. they asked me if i would like coppiers,

    i said no,they delivery me the original ones, the quality is good ,price is ok.

    and when i asked them for the documents ,they sent me at once . really awesome!

    so that i think you should ask the surpplier details before make deal ,if the products is copy or not , it is very  very important.

    usually, the copy ones is very similiar to original,difficult to tell them from exterior

     Feranando,

    As a Chinese, I am so sorry to hear your story and experience. And some of their comments, really make me sad. Most of the companines here will not  act this way. Of course there are some guys who do make something bad.  

    Maybe u can send me the Company information such as name and address, with whom u are dealing. I'd like to make a research for your reference.
