Conclusion

Based on SAUNGYU’s shipping records for the first half of 2023 (over 100 containers), we selected three customers, all of whom collaborate with SAUNGYU and our peers. 

The cost of goods delivered in collaboration with SAUNGYU is the lowest, saving approximately 10-15%. 

The reasons for cost increases for these customers were as follows:

1 Substandard raw materials resulting in quality issues and consumer complaints.

2 Poorly executed customization leads to trademark infringement disputes.

3 Improper adhesive usage leading to customs confiscation.

4 Incorrect declaration of container content, necessitating re-declaration and delaying shipment.
