The National Occupational Standards for Purchasers is the eleventh batch of national occupational standards issued by the national government-accredited professional qualification assessment and appraisal agency (formerly the Ministry of Labor and Social Security). "Formally promulgated. Beginning in 2010, the professional qualification certificate of the national purchaser will be identified and issued by the "Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security" after the merger of the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Personnel, and the new certificate will be issued. The issuance of the National Purchasing Certificate and the inquiry from the official website of the country indicate that the vocational training and certification of procurement management personnel in China has been officially incorporated into the legal track of the national examination system, which is universal across the country, without industry and geographical restrictions and distinctions. The national purchaser certificate and skill appraisal have become qualification certificates for procurement employees in seeking, serving, remuneration and benefits.

The important basis for the integration of insurance and medical insurance is also a valid certificate for notarizing the skill level of overseas employment and foreign labor personnel. With the merger of the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Personnel, the merger of professional qualifications and professional titles has become an inevitable trend.

Africa < br Trading habits: purchase by sight, one-handed payment, one-handed delivery, or consignment on credit.

Precautions:
Morocco generally has higher import tariffs and stricter foreign exchange management. The D / P method has a greater risk of foreign exchange collection in the country's export business. Moroccan customers and banks colluded to pick up the goods first, delayed payment, and repeatedly urged us to pay at the request of domestic banks or export companies.

In terms of tariffs:
Denmark grants most-favoured-nation (MFN) treatment or more preferential GSP to goods imported from some developing countries, Eastern European countries, and countries along the Mediterranean coast. In practice, however, tariff preferences are rarely received in steel and textile systems, and countries with larger textile exporters often adopt their own quota policies.

United Nations < br Notes:
Chinese companies first apply to become their suppliers, and secondly they take the initiative to apply for bids. Strive to enter the short list on the basis of establishing credibility. The United Nations has recognized some outstanding suppliers through its long-term contacts with suppliers. In the case of some smaller purchases, large-scale bidding is not carried out, and suppliers on the short list are proactively contacted and the transaction is immediately made. Those who can enter the short list are generally the top ten companies of a certain product, which is equivalent to directly entering the final in the competition, which is very beneficial to winning the bid. Of course, this requires the quality of the enterprise itself and the quality of the product.
It is worth noting that responses to United Nations communications must be answered whether or not they are bidding. The UN requires that suppliers be disqualified without responding 3 times. Therefore, if the address, telephone, fax or e-mail address of a business is changed, the United Nations should be notified in a timely manner.
The procurement of the United Nations is different from general business dealings. It attaches great importance to openness, transparency, equality and integrity, and never bargains. Therefore, companies must quote the real price when quoting, that is, the final price. Doing business with the United Nations must be cheap and good quality. You cannot make a one-time profit and make money. You must make a profit by establishing credibility and long-term purchasing relationships.
