Hi, This is Andrew I will be able to work with you guys on the 17th afternoon if it's okay with you. After that day I could work for you for the whole duration that you requested. I am a Korean citizen fluent in Korean and English, I also have a local number so that I could call the manufacturers or brands for you just in case. As for specialization, I specialize in K-inner beauty products like collagen sticks and other types of supplements. 7 years of manufacturing experience in the supplement space but currently have one manufacturing partner that does cosmetic consulting OEM with us. Our main market is for supplements so there isn't any relationship or commission contract in this space since we aren't in the cosmetic space. I usually do orders on FOB condition for now should we become your exporter. my export service management fee rate 4%~5% percent depending on the scale (this can negotiated, even a retainer deal can be possible). Right now the cost of 1400 would cover 8 hrs. 7 days of work time during the whole duration of your trip as written in the project details.
