With the prevalence of counterfeit product in the market today, as a manufacturer, you must demand that your suppliers have a plan in action to screen product before it reaches your dock. If your current suppliers are not able or willing to do this, and if you cannot be sure that their ability to screen product is sufficient, it is time to reconsider your purchasing strategy.
