Just Aircraft, a Salem manufacturer of light sport aircraft, contacted the CS Greenville office for assistance in identifying potential partners in Australia. CS Sydney, Australia, provided a comprehensive international partner search report – an in-depth study of the marketability and sales potential of the client's sport airplanes in the Australian market and leads on prospective partners. As a direct result, Just Aircraft signed a distributor agreement with a company in Australia which led to the purchase of two airplane kits valued at $50,000.
Emitec is a Fountain Inn manufacturer of catalytic converters. The firm
contacted the Greenville, SC, office when one of its orders had been
detained at Shanghai Port in China due to problems with the exporter's
Certificate of Origin. The CS Shanghai office determined Emitec's
Certificate of Origin was not an original copy, lacked proper notarization,
and was not stamped by the local chamber of commerce. CS issued Emitec
a new Certificate of Origin which met the necessary requirements of
Chinese Customs, and the detained shipment worth $66,000 was released.
