sa mga negosyanteng kabayan...

hi to all, tnx for all your advices.

im planning to import handicraft items and other products from the philippines or some other things that are not yet selling here in doha.

I want to start in a small capital coz i need to know first if the items will be click in this country. I have a friend who already have a business and we have an agreement that for the meantime we will just put my items together with his business. 

Anyway, Im still planning for this and hope I can start my business the soonest.

Yes, I second everything that Kakashi just mentioned. Starting a business here in Qatar is a mighty strenous thing. So, you have to come up with a very good business plan so as to attract Qatari partners that will help you in the business as well as to assist with the rules and regulations on shipping or starting a venture.

Also, what kind of products are you planning to import?

yes cesmarjaf,... just part jap ;)

cheers! thanks!

always remember.. this is a multicultural site..

so if you wanna get prompt reply...

please put it in a medium everybody could comprehend...

Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.

Wow kakashi! well said! good info! are you filipino?

hulk, tagalog is filipino language.

chermangel you can subsscribe to our filexpat group, so that you can post any tagalog inquiry there. just find it in Qatar Groups ( sa taas) then hanapin mo na lang ang filexpat... then subscribe ka na.  

hi chemangel,

first, dont post in tagalog on the main forum. Do so on the FilExpat group forum. If ever you're not yet a member, pls register.

second, im sure you are not the first person doing this, and it will take u tons of money to do such, not because of the cost of what you're selling but the bureacracy you will go thru. like the license to operate the business blah blah blah, the wasta, etc. and also you will need a qatari partner, i believe that is a requirement by the government.

third, the big names like DHL/Fedex etc, is not an importer's best friend. This has always been the expensive route, its because they are on the retail freight industry. You might want to talk to the local or medium sized freight or cargo companies. It is wholesale, and you are basically leasing a space inside a container van for Philippines-Qatar bound shipments.... im not an expert on that, but it is somehow like that.
