| FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS |
|
|
| 1 |
Are you a Government organization? |
| |
No, we are not a government organization. We are a non-profit organization. Our
revenues derive from the membership paid by both the importers and exporters
using our service. |
| 2 |
Can you give some examples of exporters that have
successfully concluded orders from your member importers? |
| |
No. By law we cannot disclose such transactions. Besides, the transactions are
being done directly between the suppliers and our member importers. We will have
no record of them. We will only come to know if they need assistance from us.
But we do have some preferred suppliers that are willing to be
listed on our Testimonials. |
| 3 |
Why can't I find email addresses of your member
importers? |
| |
The email address of an importer is probably the first bit of data to become
outdated or invalid. Why? Simply because of the enormous and growing amount of
SPAM or JUNK emails that are being sent to
people and businesses from around the world. The unfortunate fact is, once
we make known of our members' email addresses, the Spam artists will immediately
begin sending their volumes of junk emails. Ultimately, the volume of the Spam
becomes too burdensome and many people abandon their email address and set up a
new one. This is why we do not disclose the email addresses of our
members. You will get all the mail addresses and other contact information
once we start the Importers Referral Program. |
| 4 |
I have two entirely different products, how would you
charge me? |
| |
If you choose to put on one web page under your name, then the charge will be
one time. But we strongly suggest that you use two different web pages for
different products as less confusing to importers. In addition, you get to be
referred to the two different types of member importers for different products.
If this is the case, you will enjoy 50% discount on the second web page. |
| |
| 5 |
Why is your service different from other internet
search engines? |
| |
We believe a static website waiting to be browsed at stands far less chance than
one that is actively being promoted to the attention of the principals. We first
identify the matching member importers and we will write to recommend you to
them. |
| 6 |
How many pictures am I allowed to put on my web pages
with you? |
| |
The maximum is six categories with 18 product pictures. But your web page will
come together with the hyperlink to your corporate website, so it should
suffice. |
| 7 |
Can I change the contents of the web pages later
on? |
| |
Yes, you may. Please contact your local Representative or email to IRP@usacan.org |
| 8 |
Why some of my emails to your members got
returned? |
| |
- The mail server may be down. - The mail server may be too busy or capacity
exceeded. - The mail server may be experiencing other problems, preventing it
from responding to clients. - The communication path may be experiencing
problems. - Addressed employee no longer works there. - The company has
closed down. |

How do you promote your site? |

importers. Our ranking is high on Google site because of the high click through
traffic. Because it is worldwide dotcom, viewers from all over the world can
also make their search on our site, we have, in fact, more non-U.S. importers
than the North American ones. |
| 11 |
Do the member importers need to pay NAIA? |
| |

provided by NAIA to its members range from referral of compatible worldwide
suppliers, monthly circular, additional sourcing, translation and documentation,
travel arrangements and credit rating report of suppliers. |

How would you conduct your IRP for me? |
| |
IRP will involve
firstly by constructing a private product web page for you on our portal. We
will then identify the compatible member importers of your products and refer
you to them by means of email and callouts. We will also cover the step of
tracking down for you once initial contact is being successfully made.
